A 502, 503 or 504 from the LiteLLM proxy, or a dropped connection, is retried after 5, 15 and 45 seconds before the call fails. Twice on 2026-10-07 a short burst of 502s stopped work outright: the integration tier at 16:39 and an e2e conversation at 20:43, where the item waited on the operator after one refused call. Not retried: a 500 (it may be the request's fault), a timeout (it already had its request_timeout_s), or a budget refusal. Rate limits keep their single 20-second retry. The time spent waiting is reported with the rate limit's (last_rate_limit_wait_s), so it isn't counted as the model's. Tests: an outage waited out, one that outlasts the backoff, a dropped connection, a 500 and a timeout not retried, a budget refusal not waited on. The offline agent in test_agent_build skips the backoff (its proxy doesn't exist).

Nisse
Two self-hosted AI agents sharing a common library, named for the Nordic farm spirit that keeps the place running overnight and expects to be treated well in return.
| Package | Role |
|---|---|
nisse-core/ |
Shared library both agents sit on (Part L) |
nisse-dev/ |
Dev Agent — plans and implements software projects (Part D) |
nisse-ops/ |
Sysadmin Agent — operates infrastructure (Part O) |
One repository, three packages. The library does not exist as code yet: it is
extracted from nisse-dev once that agent works (build-order step 10), as a
package split within this tree.
Architecture
The system-level specification lives at
docs/Architecture.md. It covers the
shared library, both agents, the supporting services, the build order, and the
remaining open decisions.
