 * @(RTN16)@ @Connection@ recovery:
 ** @(RTN16i)@ Connection recovery is similar to connection resumption (see "RTN15c":#RTN15c), except that instead of the library resuming from a time at which that library instance was previously connected, it is doing so from external state provided in the client options, "(TO3i)":#TO3i. Since the library has no state at the time of connection, the channels must be explicitly attached by the user; continuity preservation is achieved by the @channelSerial@s for each channel being stored in the recovery key.
 ** @(RTN16f)@ When a library is instantiated with the @recover@ client option, it should initialize its internal @msgSerial@ counter to the @msgSerial@ component of the @recoveryKey@. (If the recover fails, the counter should be reset to 0 per "RTN15c7":#RTN15c7 )
+*** @(RTN16f1)@ If the recovery key provided in the @recover@ client option cannot be deserialized due to malformed data, then an error should be logged and the connection should be made like no @recover@ option was provided.
 ** @(RTN16j)@ When a library is instantiated with the @recover@ client option, for every channel/channelSerial pair in the @recoveryKey@, it should instantiate a corresponding channel and set its "RTL15b":#RTL15b @channelSerial@.
 ** @(RTN16k)@ When the library first connects to Ably after being instantiated with a @recover@ client option, it should add an additional @recover@ querystring param to the websocket request, set from the @connectionKey@ component of the @recoveryKey@. Once the library has successfully connected to Ably, it should never again supply a @recover@ querystring param.
 ** @(RTN16g)@ @Connection#createRecoveryKey@ is a function that returns a string which incorporates the @connectionKey@, the current @msgSerial@, and a collection of pairs of channel @name@ and current @channelSerial@ for every currently attached channel.

 ** @(RSH8a)@ The @LocalDevice@ is initialised when first required, either as a result of a call to @RestClient#device@ or @RealtimeClient#device@, or as a result of an operation involving the Activation State Machine. The @LocalDevice@ @id@, @clientId@, @deviceSecret@ and @deviceIdentityToken@ attributes are populated, together with any @recipient@-related attributes, to the extent that they exist, from the persisted state.
 ** @(RSH8b)@ The @LocalDevice@ @id@ and @deviceSecret@ attributes are generated, and persisted as part of the @LocalDevice@ state, when required by step "@(RSH3a2b)@":#RSH3a2b in the Activation State Machine.
