Meaning
Idempotency means a repeated operation has the same intended effect as one execution under the relevant contract.
A practical example
A repeated render submission with the same accepted request identifier should refer to the existing job instead of charging and generating again.
What to check
A retry button alone does not provide this property. Persist the request identity and outcome, including uncertain results, before repeating side effects.
