Feb 1, 2026February 2026: Implemented comprehensive Keep-Alive and reconnection enhancements for media connections in the whereby/sdk repo. Delivered server-side ping management, experimental serverSideDisconnectDurationLimitOn flow, and robust ping-miss handling to initiate websocket reconnection. Implemented optimizations to disable noop packets when the limit is active, and ensured robust termination on ping misses. Added per-client configurable disconnect limits and full unit test coverage for KeepAliveManager. These changes improve connection stability, reduce abrupt disconnects, and enable data-driven experimentation with disconnect behaviors across media sessions.
