  "approach": "The fix requires:\n1. Adding a class-level `_is_default_channel` flag to `HostPluginProtocol` to track whether we should use the default storage channel\n2. Modifying `ensure_initialized()` to set this flag based on whether the host plugin is available\n3. Adding `is_default_channel()` and `set_default_channel()` classmethods/getters to access/modify this flag\n4. Making the fallback behavior persist by not resetting the flag when storage upload succeeds after a failure\n\nThe tests show that after fallback is engaged (storage upload fails), `is_default_channel()` should return True, and `set_default_channel(False)` should disable the default channel for future calls.",

  "hypothesis": "The issue requires making the host plugin fallback 'sticky' - once the connection to storage is unavailable and fallback to host plugin is triggered, subsequent calls should continue using the host plugin even if storage becomes temporarily available again. Looking at the test `test_fallback`, after `patch_put.call_count == 1`, it asserts `wire.HostPluginProtocol.is_default_channel()`. The test then calls `wire.HostPluginProtocol.set_default_channel(False)`, which suggests there's a `is_default_channel` and `set_default_channel` mechanism that controls whether the default channel (storage upload) or host plugin is used.",
