Review Comment:
   Nit on comment:
   
   ```
   /**
    * If a retried request finally fails with 409, 
    * the IRC service may have persisted the commit
    * despite initial 5xx errors, resulting in a self-conflict on retry
    *  due to the base changing.
    * Mark this failure as commit state unknown rather than failed to prevent 
file cleanup.
    */
