Flask: Plan bounded retries for request hook dependency calls

A production request path returns inconsistent decisions during retries and concurrent updates. The affected area is request hook.

Repair the request hook dependency calls implementation so it retries transient failures with bounded exponential delays and stops permanent failures.

Evidence

Affected surface: Flask / request hook.
Observed failure family: plan bounded retries.
Scope policy: region must equal eu-west.

What this task practices

This coding (platform) exercise trains the same sequence expected in an interview: understand the prompt, make assumptions explicit, produce a concrete answer, and explain the decisions behind it. The task is marked medium difficulty. The private workspace adds the tools required by this round, such as recording, code execution, diagrams, evidence panels, or structured notes. It also preserves the attempt so later feedback can be compared with previous work. Evaluation is based on task-specific criteria and the candidate seniority selected in the preparation path. Public pages never expose the reference solution, hidden tests, evaluator instructions, or another candidate’s work.
