Description

Describe the solution you'd like

On any TLS failure do the normal retry we should do for all worker poll calls, then consider it a fatal error to fail the worker. Do not retry TLS handshake issues forever. This means TLS handshake failures probably need to be differentiated from normal (sometimes spurious) connection failures.

Research direction

The issue names no files or tests. Start by tracing worker poll retry and TLS handshake error handling in the Go and Java SDKs, then compare their behavior with the requested fatal-worker outcome. Done means the Go and Java checklist items have an agreed implementation and coverage for retrying once before treating a TLS handshake failure as fatal.
