Research direction

The issue names the Riva client and Riva server but no files, tests, or specific entry points. Start by tracing the client's connection lifecycle and iteration handling, then reproduce an interrupted server connection. Done means the client can reestablish the connection and future iterations continue successfully.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

The Riva client cannot reestablish the connection with the Riva server after an interruption. This causes all future iterations to fail.

It would be good to implement a reconnection method so that the client can reestablish the connection with the Riva server in case of a lost connection, making the client more robust.

Is there a way to do this outside of the Riva client?
