delivery:
  auth: No cryptographic signature; verification is done via optional custom headers (e.g., Authorization or X-Webhook-Secret) that the user can
    configure.
  retries: Failed deliveries are retried up to 3 times with exponential backoff; a delivery succeeds on any 2xx or 3xx response.
  content_type: application/json (default HTTP POST payload).
note: Delivery is best‑effort, not ordered, and persistent failures (100 failures in 6 hours) cause a 24‑hour pause.
