//   - Connected: no action, the peer is fully reachable.
//   - Disconnected (neither ICE nor Relay): retries aggressively with exponential backoff (800ms doubling
//     up to timeout), never gives up. This ensures rapid recovery when the peer has no connectivity at all.
//   - PartiallyConnected (Relay up, ICE not): retries up to 3 times with exponential backoff, then switches
//     to one attempt per hour. This limits signaling traffic when relay already provides connectivity.

// counter and backoff ticker, giving ICE a fresh chance after network conditions change.
