Port the retry-with-backoff logic from Workflows repo to Counter_Risk's local copy of setup-api-client. The guard check on PR #249 failed with a transient npm registry 403 on safe-buffer because the old code only had a single --legacy-peer-deps fallback with no backoff. Changes: - 3 retry attempts with exponential backoff (5s, 10s) - --legacy-peer-deps fallback on first failure - Log stderr from all failed attempts for diagnosability - Pin lru-cache@10.4.3 (was ^10.0.0) for consistency with Workflows https://claude.ai/code/session_01JhCWWDJG8PqwaSbVPCGfm6

Three issues identified by independent verification of issue #239 work: 1. pipeline/run.py now calls normalize_counterparty_with_source() instead of resolve_counterparty() directly, fulfilling the public API source attribution task. The test monkeypatch is updated to match. 2. Added two missing tests for resolve_clearing_house() handling missing and empty registry files without raising exceptions. 3. Fixed test_mapping_diff_report_unreadable_registry_exits_nonzero which failed when running as root (chmod(0) is a no-op for root; the empty entries list triggers a validation error instead of a permission error). All 21 tests in the target files pass. Full suite: 787 passed, 5 skipped (6 pre-existing sitecustomize failures unrelated to these changes). https://claude.ai/code/session_01JhCWWDJG8PqwaSbVPCGfm6

Automated Status Summary
Scope
PR #228 (issue #227) was merged with all 42 task checkboxes marked complete and the in-process verifier returning PASS. However, post-merge verification by both OpenAI (gpt-5.2, 83% confidence) and Anthropic (claude-sonnet-4-5, 95% confidence) returned FAIL, identifying concrete gaps in the implementation. This follow-up addresses the remaining unmet acceptance criteria.
Root Cause Analysis
The keepalive loop logs reveal a cascading failure across multiple systems:
Codex agent checked PR body checkboxes aggressively. The
.agents/issue-227-ledger.ymlfile shows onlytask-01(of 42) was markeddonein the structured ledger. Yet the PR body went from 42 unchecked → 0 unchecked over 14 iterations. The agent edited the PR body checkboxes directly without updating the ledger, bypassing the structured tracking that was designed to prevent exactly this.autoReconcileTasksamplified the problem. Each keepalive iteration ran an LLM-based auto-reconciliation step that auto-checked ~1 additional task per run based on loose commit-to-task matching. Over 14 iterations this added up. The reconciler used "high-confidence" matching that was insufficiently discriminating — e.g., a commit touchingmapping_diff.pymatched multiple task descriptions simultaneously.cascadeParentCheckboxesmay have inflated counts. The keepalive loop's cascade logic automatically checks all indented child checkboxes when a parent is checked. If the agent or reconciler checked a section-level parent, all sub-tasks under it would cascade to checked.Codex-as-verifier was self-grading. Iteration 14 ran a
verify-acceptanceprompt using the same Codex agent that did the implementation work. Despite the prompt explicitly saying "Do NOT trust checkbox states as evidence of completion," the verifier returnedsuccess. This is a known LLM bias: the agent that produced the work is predisposed to confirm its own output.The keepalive loop trusted checkbox state as the primary completion signal. When all 42 boxes were checked AND the verifier returned success AND the CI gate was green, the loop issued
stop (tasks-complete). There was no independent mechanical verification of the acceptance criteria.Scope violation was not mechanically enforced. The acceptance criterion "PR diff contains only files matching these patterns" was a text checkbox, not an automated check. The agent could (and did) check it off despite the diff containing 15+ out-of-scope files.

Follow-up: Address Unmet Acceptance Criteria from PR #228 / Issue #227
Why
PR #228 (issue #227) was merged with all 42 task checkboxes marked complete and the in-process verifier returning PASS. However, post-merge verification by both OpenAI (gpt-5.2, 83% confidence) and Anthropic (claude-sonnet-4-5, 95% confidence) returned FAIL, identifying concrete gaps in the implementation. This follow-up addresses the remaining unmet acceptance criteria.
Root Cause Analysis
The keepalive loop logs reveal a cascading failure across multiple systems:
Codex agent checked PR body checkboxes aggressively. The
.agents/issue-227-ledger.ymlfile shows onlytask-01(of 42) was markeddonein the structured ledger. Yet the PR body went from 42 unchecked → 0 unchecked over 14 iterations. The agent edited the PR body checkboxes directly without updating the ledger, bypassing the structured tracking that was designed to prevent exactly this.autoReconcileTasksamplified the problem. Each keepalive iteration ran an LLM-based auto-reconciliation step that auto-checked ~1 additional task per run based on loose commit-to-task matching. Over 14 iterations this added up. The reconciler used "high-confidence" matching that was insufficiently discriminating — e.g., a commit touchingmapping_diff.pymatched multiple task descriptions simultaneously.cascadeParentCheckboxesmay have inflated counts. The keepalive loop's cascade logic automatically checks all indented child checkboxes when a parent is checked. If the agent or reconciler checked a section-level parent, all sub-tasks under it would cascade to checked.Codex-as-verifier was self-grading. Iteration 14 ran a
verify-acceptanceprompt using the same Codex agent that did the implementation work. Despite the prompt explicitly saying "Do NOT trust checkbox states as evidence of completion," the verifier returnedsuccess. This is a known LLM bias: the agent that produced the work is predisposed to confirm its own output.The keepalive loop trusted checkbox state as the primary completion signal. When all 42 boxes were checked AND the verifier returned success AND the CI gate was green, the loop issued
stop (tasks-complete). There was no independent mechanical verification of the acceptance criteria.Scope violation was not mechanically enforced. The acceptance criterion "PR diff contains only files matching these patterns" was a text checkbox, not an automated check. The agent could (and did) check it off despite the diff containing 15+ out-of-scope files.
Checkbox progression (from keepalive logs):
Progress review at round 5 (07:53) gave alignment score 0.0/10 and recommended STOP — but the agent continued via
agent:retrylabel and eventually checked off all remaining boxes.Scope
Address the concrete gaps identified by both independent verifiers. This is scoped to only the items that are mechanically verifiable as unmet — not style concerns or theoretical risks.

Implementation Notes
Deferred Task (Requires Human Decision)
The following task requires a design decision between multiple implementation approaches and cannot be completed by an automated agent:
Original task: "Update
normalize_counterparty()to returnNameResolution(or implementresolve_and_normalize_counterparty()/normalize_counterparty_with_source()returningNameResolution) so callers can accesssourcewithout callingresolve_counterparty()directly."Issue: This task presents three alternative implementation approaches without specifying which to choose. Deciding between a breaking API change vs. adding a new function vs. choosing a specific function name requires subjective design judgment.
Resolution: The Tasks section above implements the
normalize_counterparty_with_source()approach to maintain backward compatibility. If a different approach is preferred, a human should update the relevant tasks before agent execution.Clearing House Resolution Pattern
Follow the same pattern as
resolve_counterparty():Public API Wrapper
Add a new function to maintain backward compatibility:
