Show answer and explanation
Answer: defaultInboundHttpRetryPolicy: {}
Explanation
Sidecars retry inbound requests twice on reset-before-request, and before 1.32 this was hardcoded. The new defaultInboundHttpRetryPolicy field tunes attempts, retryOn and backoff, and an empty object disables inbound retries mesh-wide. defaultHttpRetryPolicy only governs outbound traffic.
