Description

Describe the problem

Can the SvelteKit documentation explain what SvelteKit's precise behaviour is when a load: PageServerLoad function in a +page.server.ts file can't be run because the Node server is unavailable.

Does it attempt a few retries?
What does the load: PageServerLoad function return back to the load: PageLoad function in terms of data payload?

Research direction

Start with the linked SvelteKit load documentation, focusing on the Universal vs server section and the +page.server.ts PageServerLoad and PageLoad functions mentioned in the issue. Determine the documented behavior when the Node server is unavailable, including retries and the data payload, then update the documentation so these outcomes are explicit.
