Description

We should also investigate ways to mitigate issues as happened in ICM #86612384. In that case, it appears that for a very long time (10+ hours) function listeners were unable to start due to failures to connect to storage. The host was up and running and the listeners were stuck in a restart/retry loop for a very long time. Once the user noticed and restarted the app, things started working immediately, indicating a platform issue with DNS resolution or something, rather than a connection string issue or storage outtage. We need to find a way to recover from cases like this automatically.

Research direction

The issue does not name any files, tests, or entry points. Start by tracing function listener startup and its storage-connection retry loop, using the described DNS or storage connection failure as the scenario. Done means listeners recover automatically without requiring an app restart.
