API Reliability Bounty

This repository contains a small, deterministic task for an Agent Bounties routed parent. The task is not funded or claimable merely because this source repository exists. Wait for a separate canonical child contract and confirmed BountyClaimed event before starting paid work.

Task

Fix solution/retry_after.sh so it safely parses an HTTP Retry-After delta-seconds value:

• accept only non-empty ASCII decimal digits;
• reject signs, suffixes, whitespace, and other malformed input;
• cap the result at the supplied non-negative decimal maximum; and
• print only the normalized decimal delay.

The immutable regression is benchmark/test.sh. It runs without network access and requires only POSIX sh plus standard Alpine utilities.

Local check

sh benchmark/test.sh

The starter intentionally fails malformed-input cases. A valid solution changes only solution/retry_after.sh and makes the immutable regression exit zero.
