Research direction

Locate the dial method and its handshakeRequest call, then reproduce the reported failure and trace how the response body is converted to io.ReadWriteCloser. Compare the failing response path with the expected WebSocket handshake behavior; done means the reported error is resolved or its handling is covered by a regression test.
