# DELEGATE with RETRY (Recovers)
Two substeps fan out in parallel. Substep 1.2 fails on the first attempt;
aggregation triggers a retry that re-issues *both* substeps (uniform
re-delegation per `docs/spec/language.md` §4.2, §5 — RETRY retries the step, not a
selected subset). On the second attempt 1.2 passes (via the marker-based
child) and the parent completes.
Four claims total: T1/T2 on first entry, T3/T4 after retry re-issues both
delegations.
## 1. Fan-out
- DELEGATE
- PASS ALL CONTINUE
- FAIL ANY RETRY 1 STOP
### 1.1 Task A
- delegation-child-pass.runbook.md
### 1.2 Task B
- delegation-child-fail-once.runbook.md Run
Substep 1.2 fails once, both substeps re-delegate on retry, 1.2 passes, parent completes
