Unexpected EOF shuts down bridge

Restarting prosody causes the sms-over-xmpp to die

2025/07/20 19:57:46.010383 <| : EOF
2025/07/20 19:57:46 Error receiving from server: XML syntax error on line 1: unexpected EOF

Can we ensure the bridge can survive indefinitely (or perhaps up until a timeout?) Or was this expected behavior. I'm relatively new to XMPP, Prosody so I'm not sure how external components are meant to behave.
