Description

Save the scheduled and failed pings into an item which gets written to the cache after each ping has completed (after either removing or marking as failed, accordingly). OR these items into the scheduled list when the target list is computed.

This will help with the case that Pushl gets interrupted partway through (or the receiving endpoint happens to be down/erroring at the time), so pings aren’t lost forever.

Research direction

Start by tracing how pings are scheduled, completed, removed or marked failed, and how the cache is written. Define how pending items are persisted after each ping and merged into the next computed scheduled list. Done means interrupted or failed pings remain available for a later retry rather than being lost.
