Connection management, room patterns, reconnection strategies, message buffering, and binary protocol design.
development
Screenshot comparison QA for frontend development. Takes a screenshot of the current implementation, scores it across multiple visual dimensions, and returns a structured PASS/REVISE/FAIL verdict with concrete fixes. Use when implementing UI from a design reference or verifying visual correctness.
