Worked on the semgrep/semgrep repository to enhance the reliability of HTTP secret validators by introducing a bounded retry mechanism for network requests. Leveraging OCaml and focusing on backend development and networking, the solution implemented AWS-style retry semantics with a fixed maximum of two retries and a half-second interval, providing consistent fault tolerance across validators. Regression tests were added to cover keepalive and race conditions, ensuring robust handling of transient connection failures. Updates to the test harness and dependencies, including cohttp-lwt-unix and lwt.unix, improved test coverage and CI feedback, ultimately reducing customer-facing validation errors for security scans.
