failed to unmarshal socket ticket response

Error message

failed to unmarshal socket ticket response: %w

What it means

Raised in GetSocketTicket when the JSON body returned by Ring's clap/ticket/request/signalsocket endpoint cannot be unmarshalled into a SocketTicketResponse, typically because the endpoint returned an error page or an unexpected schema.

Solutions

1. Retry the ticket request
2. Update SocketTicketResponse to match the current API schema
