    /// 5-second bound. Measured
    /// 2026-08-19 against a real socket: **one of the three attempts reaches
    /// the webhook, and the bound fires at 5.001s.** So `max_attempts` and
    /// `backoff` are, at the defaults, configuration that cannot take effect.
    ///
    /// The two numbers pull in opposite directions and neither is obviously
    /// wrong. Raising this bound to fit the retries makes the 30-second
    /// per-event budget in `deliver_push_bg` reachable by a single config,
    /// which is the amplification ceiling that budget exists to hold.
