This happens on very rare occasions in CI.

Research direction

Start with TestAppenderRetryDocument in appender_test.go, especially the failures around lines 1331, 1343, 1346, and 1351, then inspect the referenced checks in docappendertest/docappendertest.go. Run the test repeatedly, including the nocompression and gzip cases, to reproduce the retry-count mismatch. Done means the test passes reliably in CI without the observed flaky result.
