What

Adds unit tests for packages/core/src/agent/retry-after.ts, which had no test coverage.

Why

This module governs how the agent honors a server's Retry-After header on 429/503 responses — clamping hostile values, preventing retry-storms, and keeping an exponential-backoff floor. It's small, pure, and security-relevant, so it's worth locking the behavior down with tests.

Coverage

  • parseRetryAfter: delta-seconds and HTTP-date forms, empty/negative/non-integer rejection, and the 5-minute clamp
  • getRetryAfterMs: case-insensitive header lookup and missing-header handling
  • computeRetryDelayMs: exponential floor, 10s cap, and server-hint precedence

No source changes — tests only. Verified locally: 15 tests passing.


Summary by cubic

Adds unit tests for packages/core/src/agent/retry-after.ts, which previously had no coverage. The module governs how the agent honors Retry-After headers on 429/503 responses, so this locks down the security-relevant parsing and backoff behavior.

Coverage

  • Verifies delta-seconds and HTTP-date parsing, including rejection of negative, non-integer, and malformed values.
  • Confirms the 5-minute safety clamp, case-insensitive header lookup, and missing-header handling.
  • Checks the exponential backoff floor, 10s cap, and server-hint precedence.

Written for commit 30d3280. Summary will update on new commits.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Tests
    • Updated retry timing test coverage with clearer shared constants and fixed timestamps.
    • Retained validation for retry-delay parsing, limit enforcement, case-insensitive headers, and exponential backoff boundaries.
    • Simplified coverage by removing tests for several previously exercised edge cases, including malformed dates, whitespace handling, and alternate header scenarios.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The pull request rewrites the retry-after test suite. It adds a shared five-minute limit constant, uses fixed HTTP-date timestamps, and removes several redundant or previously covered cases.

Changes

Retry-After test coverage

Layer / File(s) Summary
Retry-after behavior tests
packages/core/src/agent/retry-after.spec.ts
The suite centralizes the five-minute limit, stabilizes HTTP-date tests, and retains focused coverage for parsing, case-insensitive header lookup, clamping, and delay calculation. Several redundant edge-case tests were removed.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 30d32

This test-only change does not alter retry behavior, but it leaves valid whitespace-padded Retry-After values without regression coverage; a future parser change could ignore those server hints.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Keep a non-empty whitespace delta-seconds case.

parseRetryAfter trims input before it validates delta-seconds. The whitespace-only cases do not verify this behavior. Without .trim(), they still return null, but " 30 " would no longer return 30_000. Restore this assertion.

Proposed test
     expect(parseRetryAfter("0")).toBe(0);
     expect(parseRetryAfter("1")).toBe(1000);
     expect(parseRetryAfter("120")).toBe(120_000);
+    expect(parseRetryAfter("  30  ")).toBe(30_000);
