 **修正**: `OutcomeAwareSelector` 协议增 `health(source_name) -> float`(EWMA 裸值);RetryMW 降权仅在存在**可信替代**(某未失败候选 health ≥ 0.5 × 失败源 health)时生效,否则原地第三试。无健康视图的选源器(round_robin 等)保持无条件降权(冷启动保护原语义)。
 
+### 3.37 迭代 4 补遗: 结构化重问缺省 2 + AIMD 削减 0.5(2026-07-21,第五轮数据驱动)
+
+**动因**: 第五轮(正午高峰,外部条件比首跑更严苛)剩余失败三分: 阶梯耗尽 ~1.1%(结构化档死亡率 3.2%,重问仅 1 次)、retry_exhausted ~0.9%(源1 尝试失败率 20.5% = 空补全 14.4% + **429 残漏 5.8%**,后者说明 AIMD 0.7 削减在临界点上方震荡)、400 拒绝 ~0.5%(语料固有毒负载,环境常量)。
+**修正**: ① `PGW_STRUCTURED_MAX_RETRIES` 库缺省 1→2(instructor 库缺省 3 的保守版;成本只在解析失败时新增一跳);② AIMD `_CUT` 0.7→0.5(更快收敛到网关水位之下,Netflix 建议区间 0.5-0.9 内取激进端)。预期: 阶梯死亡 ~3.2%→~0.6%、429 出链后 retry_exhausted ~0.9%→~0.3%,合计残余 ≈ 1.0-1.4%(含 0.5% 环境常量)。

 ### 3.4 不做与预留(方案 C 组件的接入点)
 
 - 账号级 429 共享退避: 不做;预留 = 冷却备忘 key 从 source_name 换 account_key 即可接入(LiteLLM 先例,治理粒度=配额粒度原则记入 ARCHITECTURE)。
