+/// On Windows the stack reports the fate of a *previously sent* datagram against the
+/// next recv on the same socket, so an ICMP reply surfaces as a recv error even though
+/// the socket is healthy. `WSAECONNRESET` reports an ICMP Port Unreachable, meaning the
+/// destination had no listener. `WSAENETRESET` reports an ICMP Time Exceeded, meaning a
+/// datagram's TTL expired in transit. Both are transient for the same reason: each
+/// describes a single datagram and is delivered exactly once, so reading it clears the
+/// condition and the following recv returns real data.
+///
+/// We treat `ConnectionReset` as transient on every platform, not only Windows:
+/// ECONNRESET is undefined in QUIC and can be injected by an attacker, so
+/// it must never tear down the receive path.
