What

When killing a worker that is still starting, the retry loop was re-issuing a differently shaped request. It now repeats the same kill request with the same handoff and evict arguments, up to 10 times with a 200ms wait between attempts.

Details
  • The fallback lookup used when the job no longer exists gets an extra argument.
Evidence

op: "kill"

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