A logical request's Retry-After waits are now bounded by
max_total_retry_duration, and a retry storm can no longer re-arm a
full ceiling per attempt:
- BudgetClock anchored per logical request by RetryGateMiddleware
(into the request Extensions, shared across retry attempts) and
read by the inner RetryAfterMiddleware every attempt; the monotonic
anchor projects the hard stop through wall-clock steps.
- maybe_sleep_for truncates the sleep to the remaining budget;
a spent budget skips the sleep entirely.
- record() keeps the EARLIEST deadline per URL (retry storms cannot
extend the first-seen deadline); a refresh that cannot make it
under the budget hard stop drops the entry so the next attempt
starts immediately instead of parking.
- Middleware without a budget anchor (budget = 0) keeps the prior
semantics; the shared client now wires
HttpClientConfig.max_total_retry_duration into the Retry-After
middleware.
- Wire tests (tests/retry_after_budget.rs): always-429 responder with
a 300 s Retry-After is bounded by budget + one attempt; separate
logical requests still honor the recorded throttle window.
- FWD-12 atomic reload pairing and the FWD-15 stream-client split
untouched (stack built in build_client_with_pems for both).
