Description
I recently upgraded to the latest version of Bison Relay on macOS. Upon launching, the client is unable to connect to the network.
While the primary seeder (br00) appears to be having server-side issues (certificate errors and connection refused), the critical issue seems to be that my client has no fallback seeds. The logs show an empty DNS seed list [], meaning the client cannot failover to a working node.
Other users report their clients are working (presumably because they are successfully failing over), suggesting the upgrade process may have cleared or failed to populate the fallback seeder list on my machine.
Expected Behavior
If the primary seeder (br00) is unreachable, the client should attempt to connect to other seeders in the DNS list/hardcoded fallback list.
Actual Behavior
The client retries br00 indefinitely and fails to find a bootstrapper because the list is empty.
