+OBSERVATION-FIRST METHODOLOGY NOTES:
+
+Since we cannot easily run these tests on the unfixed code without a complex
+test harness, we document the observed behavior from the existing test_failover.py:
+
+1. Non-Failover Requests: Would work if the header was set correctly
+2. Successful Requests: Do not trigger retries (observed in normal operation)
+3. Header Setting: Currently happens at lines 424-427 in llm.rs
+4. Retry Loop: Works correctly for 429 responses (logic is sound)
+
+The bug is specifically in the TIMING of when the header is set, not in the
+retry logic itself. Therefore, preservation tests focus on ensuring:
+- The retry logic continues to work after moving the header setting
+- Successful requests still don't retry
+- The header value calculation remains correct
+
+PRESERVATION REQUIREMENTS FROM DESIGN:
+- Non-model listener types (prompt gateway, agent orchestrator) unaffected
+- Requests without rate limiting return responses without retries
+- Retry loop logic continues to work for actual upstream failures
+- Header-setting mechanisms for other listener types unchanged
