## 1. GitLab Discovery Policy

- [x] 1.1 Add source-configured GitLab discovery request attempts and retry delay.
- [x] 1.2 Pass the bounded settings only to GitLab project discovery requests.
- [x] 1.3 Convert exhausted GitLab discovery transport errors into failed cycles without advancing query or auth state.

## 2. Regression Coverage

- [x] 2.1 Test timeout-then-success and bounded exhaustion behavior.
- [x] 2.2 Test failed-cycle persistence, query retention, token health, and non-GitLab isolation.
- [x] 2.3 Run focused and broader regression suites with bytecode writes disabled.

## 3. Validation And Rollout

- [x] 3.1 Run strict OpenSpec validation and verify implementation against artifacts.
- [x] 3.2 Restart the managed runtime and confirm GitLab source, PostgreSQL, and pipeline health.
- [x] 3.3 Observe a GitLab discovery canary and confirm transient API errors no longer restart the source.
