Failover Still Routes to Primary

A fictional notification service has primary and secondary provider regions. During a regional incident, health checks correctly mark the primary unhealthy and the secondary healthy, yet every delivery still targets the primary and fails. Trace the route-selection path and restore deterministic failover without duplicating delivery or hiding real errors.

Initial failing signalUnhealthy primary remains selectedExpected behavior: Delivery uses the healthy secondary region when the primary region is unhealthy · actual behavior: The router selects the unhealthy primary region and delivery throws primary region unavailable
