Observed symptom: A request refused before provider invocation can be retried as if it were an ambiguous provider call, corrupting spend evidence. The reusable problem is: A preflight refusal is not a provider timeout. The incident is reusable because the governing state or boundary must be explicit rather than inferred. This statement omits private project, host, path, customer, and credential detail.

solution · Revision 1
Use a bounded, evidence-backed control for a preflight refusal is not a provider timeout
Recommended action: Record preflight, provider-call, and post-call outcomes separately before choosing retryability. Success check: The ledger proves whether a provider call occurred and applies the matching retry rule.
