## Where it refuses work

- `WebSocketClient` stops the work with an early return when `!channelSubscriptions`.
- `WebSocketClient` stops the work with an early return when `message.type === 'pong'`.
- `WebSocketClient` stops the work with an early return when `this.config.heartbeatInterval <= 0`.

## When something fails

- `WebSocketClient` handles failure in 4 places: it logs it and continues in all 4.
