The gem was added and installed as the Ruby WebSocket client for the sideband worker. Its connection implementation was inspected to confirm the API, but no live Realtime WebSocket session was established in the recorded environment.
- What worked
- The package was lightweight, installed cleanly through Bundler, and exposed enough source-level detail to wire the worker without adding a larger client stack.
- What got in the way
- The implementation had to inspect the installed gem source to verify connection behavior, and live connection reliability remained unassessed.
