Five tasks, with the ARCHITECTURE section 6.1 revision first so the code
never contradicts the single source of truth, and the reparenting kept
atomic because scope is a required keyword argument and any split would
leave an unrunnable tree.
The Codex review caught that the planned test evidence pointed at the
wrong stubs: the ones at test_backpressure.py:176-186 cover accounting-side
degradation, not the three gate paths that actually leak to callers, and
try_acquire and try_enter have no stub at all.
All three open decisions were settled as proposed: a dedicated
SourceNotConfiguredError so a misconfigured source reaches the dead
letter queue instead of retrying forever, a 5 second retry_after_s so a
backlog does not stampede a backend that is already down, and public
export so callers can alarm on assembly defects specifically.
Pins the ARCHITECTURE section 6.1 revision to land before or with the
implementation, since the new scope reason contradicts the current single
source of truth. Documents why SourceNotConfiguredError may sit outside
the four-way classification: that rule governs transport-translated call
failures, and the GatewayUnavailableError family already lives outside it.
Also collapses the ten per-field response ternaries in emit_attempt into
an _AttemptUsage view. They all expressed the same decision and pushed the
method to cyclomatic complexity C, which blocked the commit gate.
