Is scale in / scale out client or server managed?

I'd like to understand where the scale in/out is managed in the event of a lost connection & the impact on my position.

Example:

Setup scenario:
I have scale out turned on.
I have a long position of 5 and attached OCO target and stop orders 20 points away (total exit Q = 5)
I enter an order to sell 1 lot 10 points away.

If the market moves up in the next 10 mins... I expect 1 lot to be filled at 10pts and 4 lots to be filled at 20 pts since scale out will automatically reduce the target exit quantity. My final position is flat.

However, what happens if I loose my network connection for 30 mins and the market has moved up significantly? When I log back in, what will I see?

If scale in/out is server managed, I should be flat.
If the scale in/out is client managed, I will be overfilled & short 1 since the client was offline and target Q not adjusted.

Can you advise on the behavior?

thanks.
