説明

Currently, if the socket connection between the client & server dies, everything starts to silently fail and the user is given no indication of what is going on (apart from an error in the console). It would be good to alert the user via notification that the connection has failed (and maybe when they click the notification, it would attempt to reconnect to the server?).

I think using the browser's native notifications (like with the outdated dependencies notification) would suffice, there shouldn't be a need to create our own notification component/UI.

前提条件: Basic knowledge of WebSocket eventsFamiliarity with browser Notification APIUnderstanding of glicky's client server architecture
初心者向け度: 80
調査方針: Investigate how glicky currently handles socket connections and where the disconnect event is emitted. Look at the existing notification implementation for outdated dependencies to replicate the pattern. Consider the socket connection lifecycle and add an event listener for disconnect. Implement a notification that prompts user to reconnect. Ensure browser compatibility for Notification API.
