A failed SUBSCRIBE (refusal or no broker verdict) used to drop its topic from every
retry set while SubscribeAsync returned a live handle, leaving tags dark behind a
Healthy connection until a redeploy. Failed topics now join a pending set retried by
the next SubscribeAsync and by every reconnect (not counted toward the reconnect's
total-failure verdict, so an ACL-denied topic cannot reconnect-loop). A no-verdict
subscribe degrades its refs then throws so the actor's reconcile re-subscribes. A
subscribe with no transport attached is recorded pending, never established (M-11).
MiniBroker now answers SUBSCRIBE.
