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 queued failed requests, later replay, retry timing, fallback replay, and retention limits. |
| Sync state | Choose sync state when local and remote copies both matter and their reconciliation status affects trust, next action, or data integrity. | The sync surface never upgrades local saved or queued work to synced until the remote system confirms acceptance. | Workbox supports queued failed requests, sync-event replay, browser-managed retry timing, and retention limits. |
