   Thanks for the report! You're asking for the app's global event stream to back off between reconnect attempts instead of retrying on a fixed delay, so a long server outage doesn't turn into a steady stream of attempts.

   One note on current dev: the 250 ms RECONNECT_DELAY_MS you mention was in packages/app/src/context/server-sdk.tsx, which the v2 client refactor removed. The event stream now goes through createClientConnection in packages/client/src/solid/connection.ts. It waits a fixed 1 s (reconnectDelay = 1_000) after each failure, still with no backoff. That fixed delay is intended, so we're tracking this as an improvement rather than a bug. Maintainers will consider it.
