Pattern Decisions This Source Supports

Pattern Supported decision Required contract Claim note
Offline mobile retry Choose offline mobile retry when a mobile action should be preserved and retried after connection loss, flaky network, app backgrounding, or policy-limited connectivity. The UI never reports server success for a mobile action that is only saved locally or queued. Supports retry strategy selection for transient failures and cancelled retry conditions.
Retry Choose retry when a specific failed operation can plausibly succeed if attempted again under the same scope. Retry repeats the same failed operation against the same request scope unless users explicitly edit that scope first. Microsoft documents retry as a transient-failure handling pattern with immediate, delayed, and cancelled strategies.
