# Pure checks for Retry Policy

## Verification Boundary

The suite checks deterministic module behavior and declared configuration using local inputs.

## What This Suite Proves

Retry classification separates recoverable faults. Depleted provider credit does not retry. Combined bindings require every named suite; a component assertion alone does not establish the full experiment.

## What It Does Not Prove

These checks do not establish database transactions, deployed permissions, provider availability or a complete user journey.

## Real Dependencies and Test Doubles

The classifier and delay calculation are real. Constructed errors and controlled randomness supply the cases; policy defaults remain unchanged.

## Must Not Be Doubled

Retain the function, configuration or boundary guard under test and its assertions; replacing them removes the evidence.
