Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The PR improves resolver recovery and throttles repeated errors, but unresolved issues could apply a failed forwarding configuration during recovery, violate the single-line diagnostic log contract, and leave the pause/resume behavior insufficiently validated.

- Around line 220-225: Update Resolver::resolve and the rebuild logic around the
shared upstream_health state so health reports are associated with the resolver
generation that created each lookup; ignore record_failure or rebuild requests
from retired generations, preventing stale completions from affecting the newly
created resolver. Alternatively, move health state into each forwarding resolver
instance while preserving independent reporting per resolver generation.

Normalize multiline descriptions before writing the log line.
Line 36 appends description unchanged. Embedded \r\n and \n characters produce multiple diagnostic log lines. The supplied ExitReasonsTest.formatLine_collapsesMultiLineDescriptionToSingleLine expects these characters to become spaces.
Proposed fix

+ val normalizedDescription = description?.lines()?.joinToString(" ") { it.trim() }

‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

Wait for a pause acknowledgement before resuming.
Line 95 uses a fixed delay. It does not prove that the spawned fetch stopped. If pause() is ignored or processed after resume(), this test still completes with one POST and passes.
Expose an observable pause or cancellation acknowledgement. Await it before activating and resuming the request.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift
Store the forwarding configuration only after resolver creation succeeds.
Line 584 updates active_forward_config before self.forwarding(...) can fail. If enable_forward returns an error while an older forwarding resolver remains active, a later health-triggered rebuild uses the rejected configuration. This applies a configuration after the caller was told that the update failed.
Move the assignment after a successful self.forwarding(...) call.
