Research direction

Start by reproducing the disconnect and inspect rtc/transport.go at the logged lines 919 and 1276, focusing on the data-channel read errors. Compare the DTLS timeout and user-initiated abort with the room disconnection, then verify that the underlying failure is identified and the connection no longer drops unexpectedly.
