Policies
Vendor Pass-Through
All rate limiting is enforced by the underlying vendor (AWS, GitHub, Cloudflare, Bing, Postman, EasyCron). The engineering-platform manifest does not add its own throttling layer.
Backoff Strategy
Clients should implement exponential backoff with jitter and honor the vendor's Retry-After header when present.
