htmx's WebSocket extension reconnects only after close codes 1006/1011/1012/1013.
_ws_proxy closed the browser socket with a normal 1000 on every upstream exit, so
htmx read a btcdata restart as a deliberate shutdown and left both panels frozen
until the visitor reloaded. New browser connections always worked, which hid the
defect from non-browser checks.
The proxy now reconnects upstream behind the still-open browser socket on a bounded
schedule, resets that schedule after a connection that lasted long enough to count
as healthy, and closes with 1012 only once the schedule runs out, so recovery falls
back to htmx's own backoff. A concurrent reader detects a departed browser, which a
dead upstream would otherwise be indistinguishable from, and an unrenderable payload
is logged and skipped rather than ending the stream.
tests/test_ws_proxy.py covers this against a real loopback WebSocket server: same
socket recovery across an upstream restart for both streams, the retryable close
code when the upstream stays down, and skip-on-unrenderable.
