   I have since dropped these changes from the PR as I figure we should answer this question first before making the change

   At the moment it seems like OhttpDecapsulation errors and Hpke errors are considered fatal but in looking closer at them in #1843 I think that they can be transient but I would like some more brains on this.

   Transient ussually implies you can wait or change some config (relay url for example) and expect a different result. Maybe somethings have change since I last looked at this code but I don't think that applies to either error type.

   I think you are right here, the only other case would be some network error causing the contents being sent incomplete but either way it seems like perhaps the safest option here would be to consider it fatal.
