ensuring agent is acting as agent for all that it should

How to guarantee that agent is representing all publishers, nodes etc as requested?

https://github.com/micro-ROS/micro_ros_arduino/issues/912

it appears the consensus is to use `rmw_uros_ping_agent` to detect the loss of agent communications, `fini*` and reinit all the bits, as exemplified here https://github.com/micro-ROS/micro_ros_arduino/blob/galactic/examples/micro-ros_reconnection_example/micro-ros_reconnection_example.ino

The communications with the agent is often over UDP, so its possible just to miss one of several init packets?
In this case the agent would be operating normally, and perhaps we wouldnt notice our missing service for a while.

Is it possible to periodically get the XRCE protocol to re-announce to the agent the set of nodes, topics etc, so that it would self recover?
Or is it feasible to implement some kind of "Tell me how you are configured, and I'll compare it to my idea of what I think you should be doing" handshaking in the protocol between agent and microros?

Start with the linked micro-ros_reconnection_example.ino and compare its rmw_uros_ping_agent, fini*, and reinitialization flow with the related issues and pull requests, especially the rmw_microxrcedds changes. Clarify whether periodic XRCE re-announcement or agent-client configuration handshaking is feasible, then define an agreed recovery behavior and its validation cases.
