Discover full topology (primary + all replicas) from any starting node. Provide any single node address and the client will find and connect to all other nodes.
Default: verify node roles via INFO REPLICATION, use only provided addresses.
Skip role detection entirely. Trust provided addresses as-is; first address is primary.
Use when connecting through a proxy (e.g., Envoy) or when the topology is known and static.
Note: Do not set clientName when using this mode with a proxy.
Controls how the client discovers node roles and topology in standalone mode.
