The five items PR #1 deliberately deferred.

Eval coverage

SKILL.md's description names webhooks, caches, and LLM/tool calls as
triggers. None of the 21 prompts exercised them — the suite exists to test
trigger selection, and three named surfaces were never tested. Adds one prompt
and one rubric row each:

Prompt
test-22 Stripe webhook that updates the order then returns 200
test-23 Redis cache in front of a per-user document lookup
test-24 delete_account tool exposed to a support agent

24 prompts, 24 rubric rows, aligned.

Tier assignment

The tier table listed auth, tenancy, privacy, billing, and destructive actions
as Tier 3 — but not agent tools. The concern existed in Stop-and-Reconsider and
in the Model/Tool/Agent checklist, just not on the surface a reader actually
uses to assign a tier. Someone tiering test-24's tool off the table alone
landed it at Tier 1 or 2 and never opened the checklist that would have caught
it.

A tool exposed to an agent inherits the tier of the most damaging action it
can perform, not the tier of its own code.

Retry-After

SKILL.md and the checklist both require honoring it, bounded. The reference
read no header at all.

Adds a parser for both RFC 9110 §10.2.3 forms — delay-seconds and HTTP-date.
The RFC sets no upper bound, and the date form can be arbitrarily far in
the future, so anything unparseable, negative, or non-finite is discarded and
the rest is clamped to max_retry_after_s. The hint replaces jitter on 5xx and
408, and is surfaced on 429 via a new FetchResult.retry_after_s so a caller
that does not retry here can still back off correctly.

Per-phase timeouts

httpx applies a bare float to connect, read, write, and pool alike — all four
are bounded, but not separately, which is what the checklist asks for
"where the client supports it". httpx does support it. Connect and pool are now
independently configurable via attempt_timeout().

httpcore shares one value between TCP connect and the TLS handshake, so that
clause genuinely cannot be satisfied. The checklist now records it as
inapplicable rather than silently unmet.

Verification

15 checks to 20, all passing with -W error::DeprecationWarning. New
coverage: Retry-After parsing across both formats and every rejection case, a
hostile 99999999 clamped, the hint measurably beating jitter, per-phase
timeout construction, and three more pathological config values.

CI extends to Python 3.14.

Still open

ResilienceConfig does not reject per_attempt_timeout_s > deadline_s, which
would make retries structurally impossible. Left alone deliberately —
test_operation_deadline_is_hard sets exactly that combination on purpose to
prove the outer deadline wins, so adding the check means reworking what that
test demonstrates.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added configurable connection and connection-pool timeouts.
    • Added bounded Retry-After handling for numeric and HTTP-date responses, prioritizing server-provided retry delays.
    • Expanded reliability guidance for webhook processing, caching, authorization, and destructive actions.
    • Added Python 3.14 to verification coverage.
  • Documentation

    • Updated verification documentation to cover 20 deterministic checks, including timeout and retry behavior.

Eval coverage. SKILL.md's description names webhooks, caches, and LLM/tool
calls as triggers, but none of the 21 prompts exercised them. Adds one prompt
and rubric row each: webhook signature-before-side-effect, cache-key tenancy,
and an agent tool that can delete accounts.

Tier assignment. The tier table listed auth, tenancy, privacy, billing, and
destructive actions as Tier 3 but not agent tools, so a reader tiering off the
table alone landed a delete_account tool at Tier 1 or 2 and never opened the
checklist that would have caught it. A tool now inherits the tier of the most
damaging action it can perform.

Retry-After. Both SKILL.md and the checklist require honoring it, bounded; the
reference read no header at all. Adds a parser for both RFC 9110 s10.2.3 forms
that discards anything unparseable, negative, or non-finite and clamps the
rest, uses the hint in place of jitter on 5xx and 408, and surfaces it on 429
so a caller that does not retry here can still back off correctly.

Per-phase timeouts. httpx applies a bare float to connect, read, write, and
pool alike, so the example did not satisfy its own checklist item about
bounding phases separately. Connect and pool are now independently
configurable. httpx cannot split the TLS handshake from connect, which the
checklist now records as inapplicable rather than unmet.

Checks 15 to 20. CI extends to Python 3.14.

Review Change Stack

Warning

Review limit reached

@elkaix, you've reached your PR review limit, so we couldn't start this review.

Next review available in: 9 minutes

Limit details: You’ve used all 10 included reviews currently available.

Enable usage-based reviews in Billing to review now. Otherwise, wait until the next included review is available.
You're only billed for reviews past your plan's rate limits ($0.25/file).

How can I continue?

Wait for the limit to reset, then comment @coderabbitai review or push new commits to the PR.

An organization admin can change what happens after included review limits in Billing.

How do review limits work?

CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits within each organization.

For paid Pro and Pro+ reviews, CodeRabbit uses a developer's included PR review attempts over the past 7 days to set the current hourly allowance. At typical activity levels, the full plan allowance applies. Higher sustained activity can lower the allowance until earlier attempts leave the 7-day window.

Please refer docs for additional details.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The reference HTTP client now supports separate connection and pool timeouts, bounded Retry-After parsing, and server-directed retry delays. Verification covers the new behavior, CI adds Python 3.14, and guidance documents expanded safety criteria.

Changes

Resilient HTTP behavior

Layer / File(s) Summary
Timeout and retry contracts
references/resilient_http_example.py
ResilienceConfig now defines connection, pool, and retry-delay limits. FetchResult exposes retry_after_s.
Request retry scheduling
references/resilient_http_example.py
Requests use phase-specific timeouts. Retryable responses propagate bounded Retry-After values, which take precedence over jitter.
Verification and guidance
scripts/verify_reference.py, README.md, .github/workflows/verify.yml, SKILL.md, evals/behavior-rubric.md
Verification adds timeout and retry-delay checks. Documentation and evaluation criteria are updated, and CI adds Python 3.14.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 9158b

The new Retry-After handling can raise an exception when an upstream sends an extremely large numeric delay, instead of returning the normal bounded result. Clamp oversized numeric values before conversion and add regression coverage before merging.

Comment thread references/resilient_http_example.py Outdated
CodeRabbit flagged the delay-seconds conversion on #2; it was a real crash,
not a style point.

`float(int(raw))` accepted more than RFC 9110 §10.2.3 allows - "+12", "1_2",
and non-ASCII digits all parsed as numbers - and a long enough digit string
escaped as an exception rather than a value: 400 digits raised OverflowError
out of float(), 100000 raised ValueError from int()'s own 4300-digit limit.
Either one propagated uncaught out of fetch_user_profile, so a header the
client does not control could crash the caller. That is the exact failure the
function exists to prevent.

Now requires ASCII digits only, bounds the string before converting, and
resolves anything past the cap to the cap. The HTTP-date branch also guards
OverflowError and OSError, which datetime arithmetic can raise on extreme
values.
