Deluge
- The function has a single responsibility; complex logic is split into custom function + unit test data.
- invokeurl must try/catch + write Integration Log form.
- Hardcoding keys in client scripts is prohibited.
API
- External systems use OAuth + minimum Scope; Token stores Connection.
- Bulk synchronous pagination; idempotent key = external ID field.
- Rate limit monitoring and backoff retries.
