What does DeletionProgress:DELETION_PROGRESS_UNSPECIFIED signify?

[killerSwitch]

Hi all,
I have a question about the DeleteRelationshipsResponse in the SpiceDB API.
According to the documentation, the DeletionProgress field includes a DELETION_PROGRESS_UNSPECIFIED enum value. I'm trying to understand:

• What does DELETION_PROGRESS_UNSPECIFIED signify?
• Should this be treated as a success or an error condition?
• What's the recommended handling approach – should I implement a retry mechanism, or is there a different pattern I should follow?

Any guidance would be appreciated.
Thanks!

I'd treat it as an error condition - the endpoint doesn't return that value under normal operation. Have you experienced it, or are you just wanting handling code to know how to handle it?

Just wanting to handle in code and how should I handle it?

You are not expected to receive it. If it is, it's an error, so you should fail.

This is a typical pattern in authzed APIs; there is always a code that represents an unhandled edge case in the server-side
