Can it recover?
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Reliability
> Can it recover?
---
## The Question
**When it breaks, does it come back?**
---
## What To Check
### 1. Graceful Degradation
```javascript
// What happens when X fails?
try {
doX()
} catch {
// Does it fail safe?
return default
}
```
| Check | Issue | Fix |
|-------|-------|-----|
| No fallback | Everything dies | Add default |
| No retry | One fail = fail | Retry |
| No circuit | Cascade fail | Circuit break |
### 2. Recovery
```javascript
// Can it restart?
process.on('uncaught', () => {
// Log and restart?
})
```
| Check | Issue | Fix |
|-------|-------|-----|
| No restart | Stay down | Auto-restart |
| No logging | Can't debug | Log it |
| No alerts | Can't know | Alert |
### 3. Data
```javascript
// What if DB fails?
await db.save(x)
// vs
await db.save(x)
.catch(log)
```
| Check | Issue | Fix |
|-------|-------|-----|
| No backup | Lost forever | Back up |
| No transactions | Partial | Use transaction |
| No validation | Bad data | Validate |
### 4. Capacity
| Check | Limit |
|--------|-------|
| Auto-scale | Yes/No |
| Max instances | [n] |
| Queue depth | [n] |

How to install
mdr add dhaupin/vant/audit-reliability@sha256:d6451e7e3b7a8d4dThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
