Not tracking the current websocket instance was a problem in the case the web socket server returns an error. Since only once the open event was emitted would we keep track of the websocket (this line), any errors during the websocket handshake would call into disconnect which, crucially, only terminates the underlying network resources for the tracked this.websocket.
That was the underlying issue that caused the "doubling up" of reconnection attempts (see "Issue 1" described by @gdhardy1 in this comment): each time an error was encountered during websocket handshake, there would be an 'untracked' ws instance still executing reconnect attempts in addition to a new one being spawned. Essentially websocket-connection-bombing ourselves.
If you remove the changes in this file, you will see the integration test I added at the end of this PR fail.

Thank you for finding this. I was able to patch this in and test it while we await a full fix. It stabilized things tremendously.

While not a problem brought up by users, I noticed a problem here when writing integration tests:
- if you turn on the socket mode client and it is seeing errors from the web socket server, and
- in between reconnect attempts you call
disconnect()to stop the client,
.. then the client will keep trying to reconnect forever via this part of the code. Adding this guard here just in case.

Removed "Failed to send message" as part of this error, as this error can be raised unrelated to message-sending. In this PR, I noticed that websocket handshake errors also used this code path, which made the error message misleading.

This is the test testing for the exponential reconnection doubling spiral bug.
