Description

When I restart the Orchestrator the trickle connections spam `ConnectionRefusedError` tracebacks.

Suggest we add a exception catch and backoff for this. Also just close the subscribers/publishers if off for say 30 seconds?

May be better to close immediately or within 5 seconds though.

Research direction

Start by tracing the Orchestrator restart path and the subscriber/publisher connection handling that produces ConnectionRefusedError. Reproduce the traceback while the trickle server is unavailable, then determine the agreed backoff and closure timing; done means failures no longer spam tracebacks and disconnected subscribers/publishers are handled as specified.
