CanbiZ (MickLesk)	f23414a1a8	Retry reporting with fallback payloads (#11885 ) Enhance post_update_to_api to support a "force" mode and robust retry logic: add a 3rd-arg bypass to duplicate suppression, capture a short error summary, and perform up to three POST attempts (full payload, shortened error payload, minimal payload) with HTTP code checks and small backoffs. Mark POST_UPDATE_DONE on success (or after three attempts) to avoid infinite retries. Also invoke post_update_to_api with the "force" flag from cleanup paths in build.func and error_handler.func so a final status update is attempted after cleanup.	2026-02-13 13:49:49 +01:00
