Research direction
Start by reproducing the disconnect in code-server v4.16.1 on a SageMaker notebook with Chrome or Firefox after roughly 15 minutes of inactivity. Inspect the connection behavior and collect logs during the failure; done means the VS Code client and terminal remain responsive without requiring a browser refresh.

Description
Is there an existing issue for this?
- I have searched the existing issues
OS/Web Information
- Web Browser: Chrome, Firefox
- Local OS: macOS, Windows
- Remote OS: Amazon linux 2 (Sagemaker)
- Remote Architecture: x86_64 GNU/Linux
code-server --version: code-server: v4.16.1, Code: 1.80.2
Steps to Reproduce
- launch code server on Sagemaker notebook instances
- Connect from local machine using Chrome, or Firefox
- When the go computer is idle (e.g. in screen saver mode) for a while (the duration is not consistent, but 15min should do), or when the browser is out of focus for a long time, the vscode client page gets disconnected: the file system is no longer responsive (we have a blue clock icon and a horizontal line that scrolls continuously, see screeshot); and the terminal no longer respond also
- Refreshing the browser page brings the connection back to normal
Expected
The vscode code client should not be disconnected when the computer has access to internet
Actual
Vscode client page gets disconneted when computer is idle or when browser is out of focus for a while
