Problem

The bot sometimes gets a ping timeout on Libera and fails to reconnect, appearing as a generic "read error" in the logs.

Solution

Promote the error output to show all metadata and allow for optional exitOnReadError logic.

When this config property is set to true, the bot will terminate the program when a ping timeout occurs. This is intended for use with docker, k8s, or systemd environments where some management software will restart the discord-irc program or container automatically on exit.
