Now find the retry limit the checkout worker uses. The worker file points to another file for it.

I couldn't complete this — I kept running into a problem (Now find the retry limit the checkout worker uses. The worker file points to another file for it.). You may want to retry or rephrase what you need.

Full harness trace — flagOn · seed 3

The harness runs on every turn. Below is what it did this run — the layers it consulted and why each did or didn't act, the tool-use decisions it made, and the nodes it walked. Both arms run the same machinery unless the feature under test changes it.
