Description
This PR increases the WebSocket reconnect retry attempts on the agent side when the connection is closed with code 1008 (VIOLATED_POLICY) from 5 to 10. This change allows the agent to make more reconnection attempts before exiting, improving resilience during temporary network issues.
Changes made
AgentWebSocketClient.java
fromviolatedReconnectTime > 5
toviolatedReconnectTime > 10
Why these changes
When the WebSocket connection is closed with code 1008 (VIOLATED_POLICY), the agent previously would only attempt to reconnect 5 times before exiting. This limit was too low for environments with less stable connections. By increasing the retry limit to 10, we provide more opportunity for the agent to recover from temporary network disruptions before giving up.
Testing
The change is a simple value modification and doesn't require special testing beyond the existing test suite.
