  * Transitions:
  * <ul>
+ *
  * <li><code>null -> PREPARED</code> : Occurs when the initial sync is completed
  * first time. This involves setting up filters and obtaining push rules.
+ *
  * <li><code>null -> ERROR</code> : Occurs when the initial sync failed first time.
+ *
  * <li><code>ERROR -> PREPARED</code> : Occurs when the initial sync succeeds
  * after previously failing.
+ *
  * <li><code>PREPARED -> SYNCING</code> : Occurs immediately after transitioning
  * to PREPARED. Starts listening for live updates rather than catching up.
- * <li><code>SYNCING -> ERROR</code> : Occurs the first time a client cannot perform a
- * live update.
+ *
+ * <li><code>SYNCING -> RECONNECTING</code> : Occurs when the live update fails.
+ *
+ * <li><code>RECONNECTING -> RECONNECTING</code> : Can occur if the update calls
+ * continue to fail, but the keepalive calls (to /versions) succeed.
+ *
+ * <li><code>RECONNECTING -> ERROR</code> : Occurs when the keepalive call also fails
+ *
  * <li><code>ERROR -> SYNCING</code> : Occurs when the client has performed a
  * live update after having previously failed.
