A frontend calls a flaky endpoint and needs predictable user-facing errors. You are working inside a modern JavaScript application, and the arena only clears when the result is safe, deterministic, and explainable.
Learning objective
Learn to apply fetch, AbortController, retries, backoff, and error envelopes in a modern JavaScript application while explaining the invariant, safety constraints, and hidden edge cases.
Mission order
Requests can fail with 429, 500, timeout, or malformed JSON. Implement the direct solution first, then document the one edge case that can break it. Submit the solution plus enough reasoning to pass hidden edge cases.Visible checks
selects the safest option
Expected: B
includes justification
Expected: mentions correctness or risk
Clear requirements
- Demonstrates fetch, AbortController, retries, backoff, and error envelopes
- Handles the visible sample and hidden edge cases
- Keeps output deterministic and explainable
- Avoids unsafe dynamic execution

Run the visible checks when your first pass is ready.
Clear Protocol
1Read the scenario and restate the expected output shape.
2Run visible checks before chasing hidden edge cases.
3Use Genie for one nudge if stuck, then explain the invariant.
4Submit only when the result is deterministic and safe.
