DanConwayDev 8bce3970fc fix(sync): retry deliberately after relay rate limits
Some relays repeat equivalent rate-limit notices throughout an active cooldown. Recomputing the deadline for every reminder lets periodic notices postpone recovery forever.

Keep the first deadline while its cooldown is active. Once that deadline expires, treat a new rejection as a failed recovery probe and begin a fresh cooldown, whether the relay retained or extended its limit window.

Do not clear an active cooldown merely because the WebSocket connected successfully: transport availability does not prove that the relay will accept a new REQ. Cover duplicate notices, post-deadline rejection, and connection-success behavior with unit tests.

ngit-grasp Documentation

Welcome to the ngit-grasp documentation! We use the Diátaxis framework to organize our documentation into four types, each serving a different purpose.

DEPRECATED - Being migrated to Diátaxis structure:

  • Gotchas → How-To Guides
  • Patterns → Reference or Explanation
  • Notes → Appropriate category

🤝 Contributing to Documentation

When adding documentation, ask yourself:

Is it a tutorial?

  • Does it teach a beginner?
  • Is it a complete lesson with guaranteed outcome?
  • → Add to tutorials/

Is it a how-to guide?

  • Does it solve a specific problem?
  • Is it a recipe for accomplishing a task?
  • → Add to how-to/

Is it reference material?

  • Is it technical information?
  • Will people look it up when needed?
  • → Add to reference/

Is it explanation?

  • Does it explain "why"?
  • Does it discuss alternatives or design?
  • → Add to explanation/

See Diátaxis documentation for more guidance.
