Convex socket connection is disconnected after authentication failure
As shown in the image, when attempting to log in with an expired token, the connection is disconnected after the failure message is returned. Is this the intended behavior? AuthCallback is not being called.

I'm not sure exactly what you're trying to do here, but I'll explain how
setAuth on the ConvexReactClient / ConvexClient works.
setAuth triggers sending an Authenticate message with the token generated by fetchToken over the websocket. If the token is invalid for any reason, the websocket is disconnected, the client tries to re-authenticate, and starts a new websocket connection with the new (hopefully valid) auth.
Adding { verbose: true } as the second argument when initializing your Convex client will generate logs in the console that can show more of what's happening here.I have set up the client using verbose, but when the WebSocket connection is lost, nothing is output to the logs. Additionally, fetchToken and AuthCallback, which should be executed when authentication fails, are not being executed either. It doesn't seem to be attempting to reconnect to the socket.
Could you try disabling the MetaMask extension? There are reports of it removing prototype methods from JavaScript builtins that could be causing an issue here @__cokop
I've not seen this myself, just guessing after reading https://stackoverflow.com/a/76473209/398212

What is causing the warning 'Removing intrinsics.%ArrayPrototype%.t...
I am getting following warning on first load of my App.
lockdown-install.js:1 Removing intrinsics.%ArrayPrototype%.toReversed

I just removed MetaMask and tried again, but the issue remains unresolved. However, the logs are now being output.
Can you share more context about what you're doing here? Looks like you're trying to set up some sort of custom auth, and have it go through Convex, but without using the Convex Auth (https://labs.convex.dev/auth) library? Is this for a non-React integration with the server portion of Convex Auth?
I'm not totally sure what
$client is in your code snippets, but if that's a ConvexClient, that seems problematic since that request would usually go over the WS, which would be closed on invalid auth, while fetchAccessToken gets called againConvex Auth - Convex Auth
Authentication library for your Convex backend
I'm using SvelteKit and the convex-svelte library. The $client is a global svelte store that we use across multiple components.
As there doesn't seem to be a Convex auth library for SvelteKit, I implemented a simple login and logout functionality myself, along with the ability to fetch user information. This worked well. However, after the token expired, an error occurred indicating that the token had expired, and the socket connection was disconnected. This is fine so far. The problem is that the AuthCallback is not being called, and it's not attempting to reconnect the socket.
