The Redis consumer used to leave a failed event pending and go on to the next ones, retrying it only at the next start. With Mongo down for a while, a later change of the same ticket was then projected first, and the version check dropped the earlier one for good (a status change could vanish from the read model), besides the read side lagging until a restart. Now a failed event is retried in place, waiting longer each time (up to 30 s), and the next one waits for it. Failures of the infrastructure (Mongo, Redis, the network: isTransientError) wait as long as it takes, so the read side catches up by itself; an event that keeps failing on its own goes, after 5 attempts, to <stream>:dead with its error, so it does not hold up the rest. GET /api/health reports the way from write to read (events waiting in the outbox, pending to be projected, set aside) and says `degraded`, still with 200, when something is stuck. Tried for real: with Mongo stopped, two status changes went in; the first failed to project with ECONNREFUSED, and once Mongo was back the ticket's history had both steps, in order, without restarting the API.
