The router clamps a negative request_retry_count found in request metadata before counting a failure, and the proxy strips a client-supplied request_retry_count with the other router-reserved metadata fields. The rust OCR lifecycle test that trips the per-request cap now plants request_retry_count instead of attempted_retries, which the cap no longer reads since the previous commit
Router.log_retry used to copy the failed attempt's kwargs and metadata into
metadata.previous_models. Nothing downstream read those copies, but they carried
client credentials into spend logs and grew the payload on every retry. Each
attempt now leaves a flat record (model group, deployment id, exception type and
string, attempt number), which drops RETRY_BREADCRUMB_EXCLUDED_KWARGS and the
per-retry credential masking.
num_retries_per_request was enforced from len(previous_models), which only
looked at the metadata bucket and never exceeded four records. The sync and
async client wrappers and the Rust lifecycle guard now read attempted_retries
from whichever metadata bucket the call carries.
