fix(api-gateway): prevent rmb peer from wedging on failed (re)creation#89
Merged
Conversation
Extract peer creation into spawnPeer(), which binds each peer to a fresh child context and retries NewPeer *without* cancelling that context on failure. Both retry blocks previously created currentPeerCtx once and cancel()-ed it inside the retry on error. NewPeer starts its background goroutines only after all of its error paths, so a failed attempt has nothing to clean up while cancelling poisons the shared context: every subsequent retry (and the eventual live peer) then ran on an already-cancelled context and never received rmb calls until a manual restart. Also unify the in-memory expiration to 6h on both the initial and the config-update reconnect paths (the constants were inverted: initial used 6*60 = 6 minutes labeled "1 hours", update used 6*60*60), and give each spawn its own backoff instead of sharing one instance across both paths.
