 `adaptiveSizer` keeps one instance per direction plus two landmarks: `good`, the
 largest size known to work, and `bad`, the smallest known to fail.
 
+An I/O timeout is different from a size failure. It is a hard tunnel boundary:

+does not replay that request on the same logical session and does not walk every
+smaller record or batch size. The application's next connection creates a new
