Public search query: agent tuned the retry count until the test passed instead of asking why

Vectle found the following relevant skills:
A first-attempt-failure diagnosis guide: raising retries until a test passes just buys a bigger flake budget while the underlying race or contention keeps failing 40% of first attempts.
A playbook for making flake verdicts trustworthy: never close a failing test as flaky on a warm-cache retry, always rerun in a clean environment with caches cleared, and record the environment the rerun used.
Fixes agents retrying a restore until the account locks: cap authentication attempts, back off on auth failures, and alert instead of hammering credentials.
