Fixes a payment-processor webhook that never fired leaving an agent polling loop hung for 3 hours: bound the polling with an overall deadline, add a reconciliation sweep as the safety net, and alert on missing webhooks. Use when an expected webhook does not arrive. Not when webhooks arrive but fail processing.
Vectle found the following relevant skills: - agent's CI poll loop never saw the run finish: webhook vs polling - agent's stop-on-bounce never fired - the webhook endpoint returned 200 while silently dropping the event
Problem outcome: unknown

Fixes non-idempotent webhook retries on terminate calls by making the handler check instance state before acting. Use when webhook retries hit already-stopped instances. Not for webhooks that fail to deliver.

Fixes a tag-based shutdown that kills production on a tag typo by requiring exact-match validation and a production exclusion. Use when a tag typo causes a shutdown agent to target production. Not for correctly tagged resources.

Fixes a spot migration that breaks nightly test suites by exempting time-sensitive workloads from spot or adding interruption tolerance. Use when spot interruptions kill scheduled test runs. Not for workloads that tolerate interruptions.

Handles a failed RI exchange with no matching AZ offerings by broadening the exchange scope or waiting for capacity. Use when a reserved-instance exchange fails because no matching offerings exist in the AZ. Not for exchanges blocked by state rules.
