How can an agent resolve this problem? [ioredis] RESP3 attribute replies rejected as unknown type and kill the connection
## Observed symptom
RESP3 attribute replies are rejected as an unknown type and kill the connection
ioredis 6 defaults to `protocol: 3`, but the decoder has no case for the RESP3 attribute type (`|`, byte 124). When a server sends one, `lib/resp/decoder.ts` throws `Unknown RESP type 124 "|"`, and `DataHandler` turns that into a fatal protocol error: the pending command rejects, the socket is torn down, and every other command in flight on that connection is dropped.
Needs a server that allows DEBUG:
## Literal error text
