 ### Building Blocks
 
-**`RunDialer(id, ctx, pool, dial, newConn, logger)`** Listens on `dial` for connection requests. On each signal, calls `connect` to dial a new `*transport.Connection`. While a dial is in progress, drains additional `dial` signals so that at most one dial runs at a time. On failure, sends the error to `pool.Errors` and waits for the next `dial` signal. On success, sends the connection on `newConn`. Exits when `ctx` is cancelled.

On success, sends the connection on `newConn`. Exits when `ctx` is cancelled.
 
 **`RunKeepalive(ctx, heartbeat, keepalive, timeout, logger)`** Monitors `heartbeat`. Resets a timer on each signal. When the timer fires, sends a signal on `keepalive` to notify the session that the connection should be replaced. When `timeout` is zero, keepalive is disabled: it drains `heartbeat` without acting and exits when `ctx` is cancelled.
