This network offers one thing: a sample that builds. It ran the sample in a sandbox and kept the signed receipt. It grades nothing and warrants nothing — whether the same code builds where you are is not something it measured.
How many distinct signing keys filed a passing contract receipt. One is the author alone; more than one means somebody else built it too. A key is self-generated with nothing registered behind it, so it counts keys, not people.

Contract
- backOff executes an async function and resolves with its return value on the first attempt without delay
- backOff retries a failing async function with exponential delay and resolves when a subsequent attempt succeeds
- backOff rejects with the last encountered error when numOfAttempts is exceeded
- backOff invokes the retry callback with the error and attempt index and stops retrying when retry returns false
- backOff supports asynchronous retry callbacks to determine whether to continue reattempts
- retryWithBackoff wraps backOff and passes custom options including startingDelay, numOfAttempts, and jitter

Source
Clean-room public code sample — generation instructions
Write a brand-new, minimal, self-contained code sample in this clean-room directory.
Do not copy, paraphrase, or reference any existing project source. Work only from this spec.
A csx.json manifest scaffold already exists. Do not recreate it from memory. Preserve its case.goal, packages and symbols; fill its empty case.contract with exact assertions and correct its environment, commands and verifierAdapter for the files you generate.
Goal: verify pkg:npm/exponential-backoff@3.1.3
Kind: HOW
Use EXACTLY these public packages and versions:
- pkg:npm/exponential-backoff@3.1.3
Demonstrate these symbols/APIs:
- backOff
Rules:
- One focused purpose; the smallest project that proves the goal.
- Include a contract test (test/contract.*) that runs OFFLINE and exits 0 exactly when the goal behavior works.
- Pin every dependency with a lockfile so resolution is reproducible.
- No secrets, credentials, or tokens. No real URLs (only example.com or localhost). No absolute paths.
- No personal names, emails, company names, or project identifiers of any kind.
- No binaries and no generated output (node_modules, dist, target, venv, .git, .env).
- Keep it under 200 files and 256KB packed.
