Idempotent Redundancy

When adding redundant paths (fallbacks, belt-and-suspenders), make them idempotent.

Pattern

Redundancy without idempotency causes loops, churn, or data corruption.

DO

  • Use `_is_merge: true` for Braintrust updates
  • Check if value exists before writing (fallback only if missing)
  • Use atomic write/rename for file operations
  • Make reconciliation steps safe to run repeatedly

DON'T

  • Write unconditionally in fallback paths
  • Allow multiple writers to overwrite each other
  • Fire "repair" actions that can trigger more repairs

Source Sessions

  • 1c21e6c8: "Belt-and-suspenders, but make it idempotent"
  • 6a9f2d7a: "Idempotent repair hooks"
