State the fifth-column handling exactly: any present non-empty fifth column is parsed with the combined auto-detecting parser, and malformed non-empty text fails startup rather than falling through. The @@GLOBAL.gtid_binlog_pos fallback runs only when the fifth column is missing or empty, where an empty value is a valid empty GTID_Set.

61-105: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🔵 Trivial | 🏗️ Heavy liftAdd silent-partition integration coverage.
The test keeps the source heartbeat active, so it does not exercise a silent socket while
mariadb_rpl_fetch()is blocked. A regression that preventsMYSQL_OPT_READ_TIMEOUTfrom ending the fetch and shutting down the reader can therefore pass this test. Add the planned integration probe and assert bounded reader shutdown before claiming silent-partition recovery.🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

59-73: LGTM!Also applies to: 104-106
master picked up three design-doc-only commits from the heartbeat branch (PR #50) that duplicated this branch's own doc work, which conflicted on merge. Keep this branch's version: it is the corrected one, and it carries the to_string() wire/display split that the heartbeat copies lack. Also disambiguate the Formats section, which described only the native MariaDB text (domain-server-sequence, no colon) directly beneath the MySQL wire id format, leaving it readable as a claim about the wire form. The reader emits GTID_Set::to_string(), so a MariaDB id on the wire is `domain:start-end` -- `ST=0:1-270`, with a colon. Both spellings are now named and the wire form points at the serialization section.

Thanks for landing this so quickly. The heartbeat and read-timeout fix is exactly what #48 needed. Heads-up: the v2.5.0 images never published. In Release v2.5.0, both The binary looks fine. The smoke step prints case 'v':

Hi @MattMencel . Thank you for the comment! I was aware of the failure in releasing v2.5.0 , and we are working on the fix right now. |

Summary by cubic
Fixes a silent network partition leaving the binlog reader alive and serving a frozen GTID set forever.
The reader now asks MySQL for replication heartbeats before opening the binlog stream and applies a read timeout to the replication connection, so a dead link fails the stream instead of blocking indefinitely, and the existing supervisor restart path takes over. Error reporting now falls back to the connector message when the replication error is empty, which is how a read timeout surfaces.
--heartbeat-period(default 5s) and--read-timeout(default 60s); both must be positive, the read timeout at least three heartbeat periods and at most 2147483s, matching Connector/C's signed-millisecond limit.@@gtid_binlog_pos(which may be empty) is used only when that column is missing or empty.Fixes #48.
Written for commit 470b999. Summary will update on new commits.
