## 🤖 LLM-Specific Traps
|
|
275
|
-
|
|
276
|
-
1. **WebSocket for Everything:** SSE handles 80% of real-time needs. Only use WebSocket for bidirectional communication.
|
|
277
|
-
2. **No Reconnection Logic:** WebSocket has NO built-in reconnection. Always implement exponential backoff reconnection.
|
|
278
|
-
3. **Missing Heartbeat:** Without ping/pong, dead connections stay open forever. Implement heartbeat on both sides.
|
|
279
|
-
4. **Unbounded Message Queues:** Queue messages for offline clients, but set a MAX queue size. Memory will explode otherwise.
|
|
280
|
-
5. **No Authentication on WebSocket:** Authenticate during the HTTP upgrade handshake, not after connection.
|
|
281
|
-
6. **Broadcasting to All Clients:** Use rooms/channels. Broadcasting to every connected client doesn't scale.
|
|
282
|
-
7. **Optimistic Updates Without Rollback:** If you update the UI optimistically, you MUST handle rollback on failure.
|
|
283
|
-
8. **SSE Without `X-Accel-Buffering: no`:** Nginx buffers SSE responses by default. Disable buffering.
|
|
284
|
-
9. **No Event ID for Resume:** SSE clients use `Last-Event-ID` to resume after disconnect. Always send event IDs.
|
|
285
|
-
10. **Presence Without Timeout:** Don't rely on `close` events alone. Users can lose connection without triggering close.

## 🏛️ Tribunal Integration
|
|
290
|
-
|
|
291
|
-
### ✅ Pre-Flight Self-Audit
|
|
292
|
-
|
|
293
|
-
```
|
|
294
|
-
✅ Am I using the simplest protocol for my use case (SSE vs WS)?
|
|
295
|
-
✅ Does the WebSocket implementation have reconnection logic?
|
|
296
|
-
✅ Is there heartbeat/ping-pong for connection health?
|
|
297
|
-
✅ Is authentication done during the HTTP upgrade?
|
|
298
|
-
✅ Do SSE events include IDs for auto-resume?
|
|
299
|
-
✅ Is nginx buffering disabled for SSE?
|
|
300
|
-
✅ Do optimistic updates have rollback on failure?
|
|
301
|
-
✅ Are message queues bounded (max size)?
|
|
302
|
-
✅ Does presence have timeout cleanup (not just close events)?
|
|
303
|
-
✅ Are broadcasts scoped to rooms (not all clients)?
|
|
304
