Details

We have at least one request/response path via IPC between Felt and Firefox, namely when Firefox requests an auth token refresh from Felt. Although the current implementation works, it would be nice to abstract away a few of the mechanics around detecting problems like IPC severance or timeouts. On a more evolved IPC system, these aspects would be part of the IPC and not bolted on like it is now.

A ping / keepalive system working transparently in the backend to detect problems early should also be part of such an enhancement.
