Research direction

No source file, test, or entry point is named. Start by reproducing the repeated disconnect/reconnect behavior in Wire Desktop on Linux Mint 20 using the reported Wire versions, then trace the desktop connection handling. Done means the client maintains a stable connection without repeatedly moving the conversation view.
