+- Enable initial connection retries by default for both `RealtimeSession` and
+  `RealtimeSession.create()`. Omitted `startupRetry` uses the existing three-attempt

+- Set `startupRetry: false` to retain a single startup attempt and its configured

+## 0.3.5 - 2026-09-23
+
+- Preserve global client command order across concurrent context keys and prevent
+  timer updates from being overtaken by screen updates at the LiveKit publish boundary.
+- Add opt-in SDK-owned initial connection recovery with three default attempts,
+  increasing 15/20/25-second readiness budgets, bounded delays, and a 65-second
+  overall startup deadline.
+- Renew the same session's room token between startup attempts while keeping
+  intermediate failures nonterminal.
+- Add `onStartupAttempt()` progress events for connecting and retrying UI.
+- Stop startup retry on terminal HTTP, session, microphone, and audio errors;
+  preserve one configured credential refresh after `401` and honor explicitly
+  retryable `session.error` events.
+- Preserve caller options across startup attempts, retry transient network
+  failures, and enforce the startup deadline during token renewal.
+- Keep explicit startup cancellation disconnected and deliver command timeouts
+  even when an earlier command is still waiting to publish.

 ## 0.3.4 - 2026-09-22
 
 - Add a typed `trigger` and safe command correlation fields to every recovery event.

+## Initial connection retries
+
+Startup retries are enabled by default in SDK 0.3.6 for both `new RealtimeSession()`
+and `RealtimeSession.create()`. Omit `startupRetry` or pass `true` to retry a
+session that has not connected successfully yet. The default policy allows up to
+three total attempts with 15, 20, and 25-second readiness budgets, waits one second
+before attempt two and three
+seconds before attempt three, and enforces a 65-second overall deadline. The
+overall deadline also includes room connection, token renewal, microphone
+publication, the client hello, and remote-audio readiness.
+
+Set `startupRetry: false` in the constructor or `create()` options for a single
+startup attempt using the `readyTimeoutMs` supplied through `connect()` or the
+constructor defaults. This does not disable `autoRejoin` after a successful connection.
+
+Attempt one uses the room token returned at session creation. Later attempts
+obtain a fresh room token for the same VoxEvolv session ID. Intermediate
+failures remain nonterminal; `connect()` rejects and the session enters
+`failed` only when the attempts are exhausted, the overall deadline expires,
+or a terminal error occurs.
+
+```ts
+const session = await RealtimeSession.create({
+  endpoint: "/api/voice-session",
+  apiBase: "https://YOUR_VOXEVOLV_HOST/v1",
+  autoRejoin: true,
+});
+
+session.onStartupAttempt(({ status, attempt, maxAttempts, error }) => {
+  if (status === "started" && attempt > 1) {
+    renderConnectionStatus(`Retrying connection (${attempt}/${maxAttempts})…`);
+  }
+  if (status === "failed") recordStartupFailure(attempt, error);
+});
+
+await session.connect();
+```
+
+Custom policies use explicit attempts. `delayBeforeMs` is the wait before that
+attempt. When startup retry is enabled, each attempt's `readyTimeoutMs` replaces
+the single timeout supplied through `connect()` or the constructor defaults.
+
+```ts
+startupRetry: {
+  attempts: [
+    { readyTimeoutMs: 15_000 },
+    { delayBeforeMs: 1_000, readyTimeoutMs: 20_000 },
+    { delayBeforeMs: 3_000, readyTimeoutMs: 25_000 },
+  ],
+  timeoutMs: 65_000,
+}
+```
+
+The SDK does not retry invalid audio configuration, microphone permission or
+device errors, non-retryable `session.error` events, or non-transient HTTP 4xx
+responses such as `401`, `403`, and `409 Session has ended`. A configured
+`refreshCredentials` callback still gets one opportunity to replace expired
+credentials after a `401`. A `session.error` explicitly marked
+`retryable: true` may advance to the next startup attempt.
