Late response fencing between retry attempts: An old timeout invalidates a newer retry attempt · case 05

An old timeout invalidates a newer retry attempt

Member previewVariant 5 · 3 implementations · 6 checks per implementation

Case contract

start allocates a strictly increasing generation. complete(generation,value) publishes only the current active generation and terminates it; duplicate/stale results are rejected. timeout(generation) deactivates only that generation. cancel terminates the logical request permanently. Return accepted/rejected results plus current generation and cancellation flag.

Why this case matters

Offline deterministic model of HTTP request retries.

One recorded failure

Sample boundary fixture

This sample comes from the broken implementation of a controlled reproducer.

Boundary fixture	Actual	Expected	Outcome
2	`[[["started", 1], ["started", 2], "stale", "stale"], 2, false]`	`[[["started", 1], ["started", 2], "stale", ["accepted", 10]], 2, false]`	Failed
