What

Reads of background state now retry on a delay schedule while the error looks transient, so a momentarily unavailable read no longer surfaces as a failure.

Details
  • Retried when the error is Unavailable, or Failed but outside a known set of permanent failure classes.
  • A read that succeeded only after retries reports tengu_bg_state_read_recovered with the number of attempts; a clean first read is noted separately.
Evidence

tengu_bg_state_read_recovered

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
