Recurring patterns

The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.

Denial of Service: Active connection sessions were leaked during HTTP requests when socket-closing operations were bypassed during failures, exposing the client to resource exhaustion over long-running processes.
Denial of Service: Socket error handling routines re-instantiated client sockets without explicitly closing the old file descriptor reference, causing a steady leak of system sockets on unstable networks.
