FD-2026-007 Recovering outage (Slack, Jan 2021)

sequence severe sequencereal-worldrecoveryretryable

Anatomy

Slack's Jan 4 incident degraded progressively then recovered: for a window, requests failed, then the service came back while clients still showed it down. Only a stateful sequence tests whether a client actually re-establishes after recovery — fail three times, then succeed. Circuit breakers that never half-open stay broken forever.
