### Cluster initialization hangs with `retry_join`

The
[`retry_join`](/docs/concepts/integrated-storage/index#retry_join-configuration)
feature no longer successfully attempts to rejoin the raft cluster every 2
seconds following a join failure.

The error occurs when attempting to initialize non-leader nodes with a
[`retry_join` stanza](/docs/configuration/storage/raft/#retry_join-stanza). This
affects multi-node raft clusters on [impacted versions](#impacted-versions).

The bug was introduced by commit
https://github.com/hashicorp/vault/commit/cc6409222ce246ed72d067debe6ffeb8f62f9dad
and first reported in https://github.com/hashicorp/vault/issues/16486.

#### Impacted Versions

Affects versions 1.11.1 and 1.10.5.  Versions prior to these are unaffected.

NOTE: This error does not extend to version 1.9.8, which is slightly different
in this portion of the code and does not exhibit the same behavior.

New releases addressing this bug are coming soon.
