Unify read retries with a shared 60s backoff - #409
Conversation
Token POSTs bypass HttpClient, so wrap AuthenticationManager's live OAuth request with the same 4-attempt / 6s abortable backoff used for ledger reads. Retry 5xx and connection drops; do not retry 401/403 or TimeoutError. Co-authored-by: HardlyDifficult <hardlydiff@gmail.com>
Aborting one authenticate() waiter unblocks that caller via withAuthTimeout, but must not reject the shared retry loop for other waiters still joining pendingAuthentication. Co-authored-by: HardlyDifficult <hardlydiff@gmail.com>

AuthenticationManager’s retry decision logic to return true only for recognized
transport failures such as ECONNRESET, and return false for unsupported
status-less failures whose transport code was dropped. Preserve retries for the
established connection-failure cases while preventing non-retryable token
failures from entering the retry loop.

Semantic-read HttpClient calls and OAuth token fetches now share DEFAULT_READ_RETRY_DELAYS_MS (2s, 5s, 10s, 20s, 23s) so the last retry starts at 60s. Mutations stay non-retry by default. Co-authored-by: HardlyDifficult <hardlydiff@gmail.com>

Stale token retries no longer wipe a newer cached token after clearToken, and status-less token errors retry only on recognized transport failures. Co-authored-by: HardlyDifficult <hardlydiff@gmail.com>

Summary
Authentik sometimes returns 502 (
failed to connect to authentik backend: EOF) on the OAuth token URL. That POST goes throughAuthenticationManager/ rest-client, not CantonHttpClient, so ledger HTTP retries never saw it.This unifies all read-like retries (ledger/validator GETs, token fetch, and other semantic reads) on one backoff. Writes/mutations stay non-retry by default so we do not double-submit.
Read retry schedule
Shared helper in
request-retry.ts. Six attempts; sleeps after each failure: 2s, 5s, 10s, 20s, 23s. The last retry is at the 1 minute mark. If that still fails, throw.Concurrent token callers still share one in-flight authenticate. One waiter aborting does not cancel retries for the others.
