A paste fires exactly one grammar checkpoint, and a failed one never retried
until the next keystroke — stranding the writer on "Petal's helper is resting"
after a paste. Long docs make it worse: their 15-25s checks have a wide window
to catch a transient 502 from the shared Ollama (co-tenant apps load other
models and evict the 9B). A failed pass also burned the per-document rate-limit
slot, so a retry within 30s hit the throttle path and got an empty set back.
- llm.RateLimiter.Release rolls back a slot when its pass fails; Allow now
returns the recorded timestamp so Release only frees its own slot.
- suggestions.runPass releases the slot on LLM failure before returning 502.
- useCheckpoint auto-retries a failed checkpoint with backoff (3/12/35s),
keeping the breathing dot up and only flagging "resting" once retries exhaust.
