Socket disconnect leaves channels in limbo state

[ConnorRigby]

While deploying my phoenix app, i realized the Socket will reconnect, but each channel that is open will not be rejoined. I can still use the Channel pid, but the Phoenix side doesn't recognize the connection.

further update: this may be because the channel name i was using was using a random integer. after removing that, it seems to work as intended. Leaving open as i still feel like that is a bug

I was just about to open an issue about not being able to create a channel without connection, but it happily staying alive on disconnections after the creation. I'd expect the channel either being independent of the socket being connected or not at all, so I need to recreate the channel after a disconnection. Currently one needs to keep track while waiting for the socket to connect if a channel was already created or not.

Is there a way to rejoin the channel automatically after disconnect? (could move this to a discussion if needed)
