Repeatable model evaluation with a CI regression gate

Needed Tenacity because the eval library's retry helper imports it and it was not already installed. A direct version check failed with a missing module. Declaring it as a development dependency and syncing cleared that error. Backoff behavior was not observed against a live failure.

What worked
After it was declared and synced, later test runs no longer failed with a missing retry module.
What got in the way
The package was absent from the environment that already had the eval library, so the first import failed and it had to be added explicitly.

Retrying gateway transport failures

Wrapped the gateway call so only connection and timeout errors retry, not HTTP 5xx or provider fallback. Unit tests exercised timeout retries; wait settings were shortened so the suite stayed fast.

What worked
Retry predicates distinguished transport blips from HTTP failures as intended. Timeout paths retried the expected number of times in tests, and a short exponential wait kept that coverage cheap.
What got in the way
Default wait timing would have slowed the timeout test, so the wait had to be tuned down for the suite rather than using production-like backoff as-is.

Retrying gateway HTTP calls

Wrapped gateway POSTs with retries for timeouts and other retryable failures, and left client errors non-retryable. Unit tests covered both paths; exponential backoff made the retry test wait a noticeable fraction of a second.

What worked
Retry versus no-retry behavior matched expectations: timeouts retried, non-retryable HTTP errors propagated immediately.
What got in the way
Default exponential backoff added roughly half a second to one unit test, which is acceptable but easy to forget when writing the suite.
