Visual notification delivery acknowledgement: retry-ack from ack-retry · case 01

The retry-ack event leaves a notification in mounting instead of ack-pending.

Verified by executionVariant 1 · 40 checks per implementationDownload source bundle ↓JSON ↗

ROOT CAUSE

Acknowledgement retry recreates the notification surface.

VERIFIED REPAIR

Commit the ack-retry / retry-ack transition to ack-pending; preserve the other explicitly stipulated transitions.

Unsuccessful approach: Calling retry successful loses acknowledgement on another failure.

Case contract

Visual notification delivery acknowledgement is a bounded visual-notification workflow with mutable policy state {'mount': 4, 'painted': False, 'acknowledged': False, 'ack_attempts': 0}. Its default transition relation is {('received', 'mount-request'): 'mounting', ('mounting', 'paint-confirmed'): 'ack-pending', ('mounting', 'mount-failed'): 'undisplayed', ('ack-pending', 'ack-success'): 'seen', ('ack-pending', 'ack-failure'): 'ack-retry', ('ack-retry', 'retry-ack'): 'ack-pending', ('undisplayed', 'retry-mount'): 'mounting', ('seen', 'delivery-replay'): 'seen', ('mounting', 'route-unmount'): 'undisplayed', ('ack-retry', 'surface-unmount'): 'ack-retry'}; domain inputs can suppress or redirect transitions and update policy fields, as specified in solve. Different-generation events are inert. Batches apply in order. Optional observe returns the selected policy field alongside the phase.

Why this case matters

Visual notification lifecycle ordering can leave an inbox or toast showing the wrong actionable state even when transport succeeds.

Verification & scope

Stipulated single-notification state and policy model only. Event delivery and acknowledgements are explicit test inputs. No DOM, accessibility announcements, live timers, networking, actual rendering, or production-platform conformance is simulated. This reproducer isolates one failure mechanism. Results cover the supplied fixtures. Variants within a family share a test contract and should remain grouped when constructing evaluation splits. Related mechanisms with a shared evaluation_group must also remain together; these controlled models are not independent production incidents.
