deferred is marked as volatile and I only set it, so it should be thread safe(?)

You're asking that question from a very weak position. when using `kotlinx.coroutines`, its best to stay away from `volatile`, `java.util.concurrent` et al. I also suspect you're trying to use a deferred, which is fundamentally a one-shot value type, as the facade into a running process (which it is not).

So, I'm having a bit of trouble understanding your retry logic. Rather than using an abstraction that is a `var deferred`, which is having its value changed on restarts, how about you use a `Channel&lt;String&gt;`? a `ConflatedBroadcastChannel` might do what you want it to do.

yeah your guess is right about using a deferred as facade of a process, it was an existing code that I was trying to improve, but looks like ConflatedBroadcastChannel is exactly what I need!

As far as I understood ConflatedBroadcastChannel keeps sending a value until it is replaced by another value?
