Description

The broker quit operation after a client disconnects. It happened a few times, but it is not something I can reproduce. Below is all I could catch.

Using nmqtt-1.0.4, Nim 1.6.6, Windows 11

Research direction

No source file, test, or entry point is named. Start by tracing the broker's keep-alive timeout handling and compare it with the captured Connect and ConnAck exchange and the reported client disconnect. Done means identifying the cause, preventing the broker from quitting incorrectly, and demonstrating the behavior with a reproducible regression test.
