When the assistant's provider runs out of capacity, the bot says «Ahora mismo no puedo leer mensajes escritos… si me lo vuelves a escribir más tarde, lo leo», and the message is only answered if she writes again. The provider usually knows how long the wait is, and the bot should use that.

Now a plugin that is out of capacity raises an error with a numeric retry_after (seconds). The bot then:

  • tells the chat the wait once, in minutes, or in hours from 90 minutes up, with today's keyboard so she can still log with the buttons;
  • keeps every line in pending:<chat>. Lines she sends meanwhile wait with them, and nothing calls the plugin until the wait is over;
  • runs the chat's turn on the first tick after the wait (at least 60 s), with nobody writing again. The answer covers everything that waited;
  • answers the waiting lines right after a restart, as with any pending line.

An error without retry_after still gets ai_down, as before. A plugin can raise a RuntimeError subclass carrying the attribute, so an older app treats it as a plain failure.

Tests: three new ones in tests/test_turns.py (told once, held, answered after the wait; hours, and a second busy spell not told twice; answered after a restart). Each one was seen failing with its guard removed: the early return in _turn, wake in tick, the told-once check. The full suite passes (431).

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • When the assistant is temporarily busy, the chat receives a notice with an estimated wait. Pending messages are retained and processed automatically when the wait ends.
    • Busy notices are available in English and Spanish.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Pending messages are answered after a restart during a wait, rather than remaining queued.

📝 Walkthrough

The bot now recognizes assistant capacity errors with a positive numeric retry_after. It keeps pending lines during a timed wait, sends one localized busy notice per wait period, and retries after the wait. Other assistant errors retain the existing failure handling.

Changes: Assistant Capacity Retry

Layer / File(s) Summary
Capacity error handling
supercycletracker/bot.py, docs/DESIGN.md
The bot validates retry_after and handles valid capacity errors separately from other assistant failures. Pending lines remain unprocessed while the wait is active.
Timed retry and busy notice
supercycletracker/bot.py, supercycletracker/locales/*.yaml, tests/test_turns.py, docs/DESIGN.md, supercycletracker/__init__.py
The bot notifies once per wait period, wakes expired waits, and submits chats for another turn. English and Spanish messages include wait durations. Tests cover retries, notice text, successive waits, and restart behavior. The package version changes to 0.5.0.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Change: Feature

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to f26e3

A malformed capacity delay can prevent an automatic answer and suppress the busy notice. Reject non-finite delays before merging, or accept this narrow risk.

Reject non-finite retry_after values. Do not add an arbitrary cap.

NaN passes _retry_after. rest stores a NaN deadline, then round(seconds) raises before the busy notice is posted. wake never removes that entry because NaN <= now is false, so the automatic retry path remains blocked until restart. /nuevo does not clear _resting.

A new incoming line can still bypass the wait guard because NaN > now is false. Therefore, the failure blocks automatic retries, not every future turn. The retry contract specifies a minimum wait but no maximum, so do not cap finite waits here.

Suggested fix
+import math
 def _retry_after(e: BaseException) -> float | None:
     """The seconds a busy plugin asks to wait (its error's `retry_after`), or None."""
     later = getattr(e, "retry_after", None)
     if isinstance(later, bool) or not isinstance(later, (int, float)) or later <= 0:
         return None
-    return float(later)
+    try:
+        later = float(later)
+    except OverflowError:
+        return None
+    return later if math.isfinite(later) else None
