If I’m going to disconnect a user from a session — for example, because they close the browser tab — and then I want to rejoin the same session with the same identity, what’s the correct way to handle that? I'm getting when trying to reconnect to the same room
ignoring byte stream with topic 'lk.agent.pre-connect-audio-buffer', no callback attached

Thanks for reaching out, Roman. I'm an AI assistant and I'm here to help. Give me a moment while I research this topic.
To handle reconnecting a user to the same session with the same identity and resolve the error
ignoring byte stream with topic 'lk.agent.pre-connect-audio-buffer', no callback attached
, follow these steps: 1. Ensure Proper Pre-Connect Buffer Setup: During the initial connection, register the appropriate byte stream handler for the topic
lk.agent.pre-connect-audio-buffer
. 2. Re-register Handlers on Reconnect: When reconnecting, re-register the byte stream handler for the topic. Connection state changes can clear handlers, so this step is crucial. 3. Implement Reconnect Handling: ◦ Re-register byte stream handlers after reconnection. ◦ Re-publish local tracks to maintain the session. 1. Verify Agent Side Configuration: Ensure agents are configured to handle pre-connect audio buffers by registering the appropriate handler during initialization. 2. Error Handling: The error indicates a missing handler. Double-check that the handler is registered before sending data and remains registered through connection state changes. Here’s an example of registering the handler:
Copy code
// Register the byte stream handler during initialization
room.registerByteStreamHandler('lk.agent.pre-connect-audio-buffer', async (reader, participantId) => {
    try {
        const data = await reader.readAll();
        console.log('Received pre-connect audio buffer from participant:', participantId);
    } catch (error) {
        console.error('Error handling pre-connect audio buffer:', error);
    }
});
And for reconnection:
Copy code
// During reconnection, re-register the handler
room.on("reconnected", () => {
    room.registerByteStreamHandler('lk.agent.pre-connect-audio-buffer', async (reader, participantId) => {
        try {
            const data = await reader.readAll();
            console.log('Reconnected: Received pre-connect audio buffer from participant:', participantId);
        } catch (error) {
            console.error('Reconnected: Error handling pre-connect audio buffer:', error);
        }
    });
});
By ensuring proper handler registration and re-registration during reconnection, you should be able to resolve the error and maintain functionality.
