+// RelayClient.connect() resolves as soon as the subscription is created, before

+// relay offline) the pool closes the subscription at once, the connection
+// manager hears "disconnected" and calls connect() again with no delay — its
+// reconnectInterval only applies when connect() throws, which it never does.
+// Every lap also re-wraps the queued wallet_ready (two Schnorr signatures and
+// two ECDH per relay), all on Theseus's main thread: on 2026-10-07 that spun
+// one core flat out for an hour, grew the process to 2.5 GB and froze the
+// browser. Delaying connect() itself throttles the loop, whoever calls it: the
+// first try is immediate, then 2 s, 4 s ... up to 60 s; a connection that has
+// held for a minute starts the count over.
