TransientError and SourceDeadError read like caller-facing contracts in
the taxonomy table, but the retry loop catches both and repackages them as
AllSourcesExhausted, so they never arrive. That is only discoverable by
reading middleware/retry.py, and a downstream project wrote a whole design
section on the false premise before checking.
The new table states the split outright, including that
GovernanceBackendError now sits on the caller-facing side and
SourceNotConfiguredError deliberately does not join the retryable family.
VT migration abandoned (v1.0 scope becomes two projects), Q1 resolved
to Gitea PyPI, Q6 resolved as judge exemption (unwired zero-consumer
eval scaffolding), migration docs annotated with implementation errata,
and the reference/ read-only rule clarified for the worktree workflow.
AIMD ceiling now respects per-source max_concurrency and the pacer is
assembled explicitly in the client; MIN_CALLS parses as strict int;
acceptance doc corrects source-5 attempt count to 549; design and
migration notes aligned with implemented 429/stall/suppression
semantics and AIMD constants documented.
Round 6 hit account-level rate throttling the concurrency AIMD cannot
absorb: at 26 req/min the gateway still returned 16% 429s and each one
burned a third of the retry budget. Retry-After-guided 429s now back
off without consuming attempts (gRPC pushback semantics); the retry
loop gains a per-call ceiling using the same dual-condition stall
verdict as quota-wait (local window exceeded AND no global progress).
