create upstream WebRTC offer: %w

Error message

create upstream WebRTC offer: %w

What it means

Thrown when upstream.CreateOffer(nil) fails while generating the SDP offer to send to OpenAI. Pion CreateOffer errors when the connection state disallows offering (already closed/closing), when there are no media or data channels to describe, or on SDP marshaling failure. Here the DataChannel and audio track were just added, so state races dominate.

Solutions

1. Retry the full session (new NewSession) when the client remains connected
2. Audit for goroutines that call session.Close() during setup (bridge failure handler fires 'data_channel_failed')
3. Align pion/webrtc version to pick up offer-generation fixes

offer, errOffer := upstream.CreateOffer(nil)
if errOffer != nil {
	if pcState := upstream.ConnectionState(); pcState == webrtc.PeerConnectionStateClosed {
		return nil, "", fmt.Errorf("session closed before offer: %w", errOffer)
	}
	// transient: retry once after brief backoff
	time.Sleep(50 * time.Millisecond)
	offer, errOffer = upstream.CreateOffer(nil)
}

When it happens

Trigger: Upstream PC entered 'closed' state concurrently (session.Close raced setup), or internal SDP generation failure after adding the track/channel.

Common situations: Client disconnects mid-handshake causing teardown to race offer creation; rare pion internal errors.
