After a stream interruption — recovery steps and prerequisites

Failure detection, preserving generation context, retries, and application state solve different problems after streaming stops. This example organizes recovery steps and prerequisites along the failure path, explaining which information must be preserved and which aspects remain unverified. It makes no guarantees about recovery rates or latency.

After a stream interruption — recovery steps and prerequisites — illustrative cover, not measured data

Begin with the failure​

This hypothetical scenario checks the layout of an article about failure handling. Streaming can stop at different stages, so readers need to know where the interruption occurred.

State recovery prerequisites​

Detection and decisions​

Record detection evidence, then explain which states can be retried. Do not assume that different engines and applications behave the same way.

Context and application state​

Generation context and application transactions are separate kinds of state. A recovery strategy should explain their boundaries.

Validate failure paths​

  1. Specify the experimental scenario.
  2. Record expected and actual behavior.
  3. State limitations and unverified areas.

This example does not promise uninterrupted streaming or unconditional recovery.
