on_error's block and log correspond to the fail-closed and fail-open failure strategies in distributed systems, and both merely shift risk rather than eliminate it.

UnverifiedFail-closed is a fundamental principle in security system design: when a system encounters an error, missing information, or an uncertain state, it defaults to denying rather than permitting.66% similarUnverifiedSending only the failed node and validation errors rather than the entire generated data stream during retries is the most straightforward subtraction optimization, provided that error information can be precisely localized.66% similarUnverifiedNetwork errors or timeouts belong to a separate retry budget, and the arithmetic differs from that of validation-failure retries.65% similarUnverifiedCascading failure is a failure mode in distributed systems where a component failure causes request redirection that surges the load on other nodes, triggering an avalanche effect.65% similarUnverifiedThe most dangerous failure mode of RAG in production environments is not failing to answer, but confidently answering incorrectly with wrong context, the latter being far more misleading to users than the former.65% similar
