Description

Currently, we just error out. Implement configurable retry and back-off logic to re-attempt to open the stream on failures.

Currently we force close all downstream connections, forcing downstream clients to issue a retry. or we could just add it to the issue too

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how the orchestrator opens streams to the origin server, identify where failures are handled, and explore existing retry or backoff utilities in the codebase. Also check the issue comments for any proposed design decisions.
