Consolidate subscription usage policy enforcement, privacy-safe persistence, and gateway security hardening into one reviewable change.
Includes bounded HTTP and execution envelopes, header and protocol guards, DNS and relay validation, authentication and secret projection hardening, secure backup/install paths, and regression coverage.
Replace the provider/endpoint max_retries fields as the source of same-key
retries with a routing policy setting, sticky_key_attempts (default 2). Only
the first-ranked candidate is retried on the same key; every failover
candidate gets a single attempt so failover keeps advancing instead of
retrying each fallback key.
Materialize exactly one attempt per candidate and derive same-key retries in
the attempt loop after a candidate-scoped failure, so the retry budget no
longer inflates up-front materialization and needs no upper bound. The budget
travels in the report context; retries reuse the plan with a fresh candidate
id and incremented retry index. Pool groups only retry their first key within
the retry-index stride.
Expose the setting in the routing profile editor and the set_scheduling rule
action, and drop the max_retries input from the provider form.
Absorb the remaining changes from PR #287 into aether-rust-pioneer after resolving conflicts locally and preserving the admin fixes already landed in this branch.
Closes#287
