# X_SCRAPE_RECOVER_REFUSED

## Means

the recovery hook declined to recover this failure

## Typical cause

**terminal.** `recover()` was declared and returned no strategy for this failure, so the original failure stands and the run ends where the hook left it

## Fix

widen `recover()` to handle this failure, or drop `recover:` and let the job's retry policy own it
