01

The ruling

The challenge was read and the verdict stands.

The claim was that RetryPolicy and error handlers constitute recovery. Rule 04 excludes repeating the identical call, and RetryPolicy re-runs the identical node attempt; the error handler is a developer-written hook, a primitive the framework provides rather than the framework devising an alternative. Verdict upheld.
