Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported persistent-topic case in Apache Pulsar 2.8.1, focusing on a leader-node unload timeout and the resulting message on the node hosting the topic. The issue provides screenshots but no source file, test, complete reproduction steps, or expected behavior; done should include a confirmed cause and a regression-tested correction.
