{op} failed: {}

Error message

{op} failed: {}

What it means

check_response maps any non-401 non-success status from the session registry to '{op} failed: <status>'. It is the generic error-path converter for all registry operations.

Solutions

1. Read the status code in the message and handle accordingly: 404 -> verify session id, 409 -> fetch current state before update, 429 -> back off and retry
2. Check registry service health/logs if 5xx
3. For finalize conflicts, treat the session as already finalized rather than retrying blindly

Example fix

// before
registry.finalize(&session_id).await?; // 409 if already finalized
// after
match registry.get_session(&session_id).await {
    Ok(s) if s.finalized => {} // already done
    _ => registry.finalize(&session_id).await?,
}

match op_result {
    Err(e) if e.to_string().contains("429") => backoff_retry().await,
    Err(e) if e.to_string().contains("409") => reconcile_state_then_retry().await,
    Err(e) if e.to_string().contains("failed: 5") => retry_with_limit(3).await,
    other => other?,
}

When it happens

Trigger: Registry calls returning 4xx/5xx other than 401: 404 unknown session id, 409 conflict on update/finalize, 429 rate-limit, 500/503 server errors.

Common situations: Updating a session that was already finalized, wrong session id in search/get_session, registry outage or deploy, aggressive retry loops hitting 429.
