A cross-layer workflow passes unit tests but breaks when client, API, and persistence state arrive in a different order. The affected area is audit pipeline.
Repair the audit pipeline dependency calls implementation so it retries transient failures with bounded exponential delays and stops permanent failures.
Evidence
- Affected surface: Full-stack backend focus / audit pipeline.
- Observed failure family: plan bounded retries.
- Scope policy: contractVersion must equal 2.
