Stop reconnect if local participant was removed by the server

[sparrowhe]

Describe the problem

I found the client will try to reconnect to the server even they was kicked.

Describe the proposed solution

I think the better way is stop try to reconnect. If a user has been kicked, the sdk should not reconnect to server without call Room.connect() method.

Alternatives considered

Provide a way to stop reconnect event. (like a Pre-Action?)

nice to have

which server and client version are you running?
And how are you "kicking" the user?
There should be no reconnects happening when explicitly removing a participant via server APIs.

"livekit-client": "^2.3.2"

and server version 1.7, using Java Server SDK, removeParticipant to kick user.

Actually, I can receive disconnect event with reason PARTICIPANT_REMOVED and after few seconds, the SDK reconnected to the server.

I'm using a custom reconnect policy to ensure it will not reconnect when the last reason is removed,

class CustomReconnectPolicy implements ReconnectPolicy {
  private readonly _retryDelays: number[];

  constructor(retryDelays?: number[]) {
    this._retryDelays = retryDelays !== undefined ? [...retryDelays] : DEFAULT_RETRY_DELAYS_IN_MS;
  }

  public nextRetryDelayInMs(context: ReconnectContext): number | null {
    if (globalReason == LiveKit.DisconnectReason.PARTICIPANT_REMOVED) return null;
    if (context.retryCount >= this._retryDelays.length) return null;

    const retryDelay = this._retryDelays[context.retryCount];
    if (context.retryCount <= 1) return retryDelay;

    return retryDelay + Math.random() * 1_000;
  }
}

Hm. The client does not attempt to reconnect in my testing, even with the default reconnect policy.

Please provide full debug logs of such a session (with default reconnect policy).
