Description

Hi there,

I've opened an issue here on stackoverflow (surprised there is no sharedb tag there!) because sometimes (20% of the time) I never grab the document, I'm stuck on connexion.

Do you guys ever have encountered this problem?

Thanks for your help

Research direction
Investigate the WebSocket connection handling in ShareDB, particularly the document fetching lifecycle. Analyze the code in lib/connection.js and lib/doc.js for potential race conditions or timeout issues. Check if there are any known issues with the underlying OT protocol. Refer to the StackOverflow discussion for additional context.
