occasionaly my desktop cwtch is all offline but thinks things are fine after running for a while. is it possible there was a circut change and all our stuff is stale? cus rebooting tor insdie the app reconnects to things fine

My suspicion is that an error is being swallowed in Bine (or, less likely, Connectivity). Even less likely is Tor not surfacing the issue at all...

Regardless...Cwtch should probably be more aggressive about timing out connections. We have some signals we can use (delayed ack's being the main one, but we should likely consider sending pings too as part of the peer protocol)
