Contributor guide
Research direction
The issue identifies the unmaintained Rust crate backoff 0.4.0 and suggests backon as an alternative, but names no project files or tests. Search the repository for the backoff dependency and its usages, then run the existing project checks; done means the unmaintained crate is no longer used without breaking retry or backoff behavior.
