Spring Batch repeats step with chunk size 1 even after success - spring

Question

Summary: Job restarts/retries even when reader/processor/writer succeed.
My step is defined as follows:
return stepBuilder.get("job.transaction-export.step1")
// .startLimit(stepStartLimit)
.<AfxEntity, AfxEntity> chunk(chunkSize)
.reader(reader)
.processor(processor)
.writer(writer)
// .faultTolerant()
// .backOffPolicy(exponentialRandomBackOffPolicy)
// .retry(HttpServerErrorException.class)
// .retry(UnknownHttpStatusCodeException.class)
// .retry(ResourceAccessException.class)
// .noRetry(HttpClientErrorException.class)
.build();
At some point I want certain HTTP errors to trigger a retry, but at this point, all of that code is commented out. I just have simple classes implementing the Item* interfaces, and a chunk size of 1.
I have done nothing that I can tell to cause the repeat policy to be more than once.
My application is a Spring Boot application that has several JMS listeners. When a listener gets a message, it dispatches the appropriate Job with the message contents.
This job is an export. The JMS message provides the ID of the record to be exported. The ItemReader (annotated with #StepScope) pulls the record into a Map. The ItemProcessor adds additional data to the Map. The ItemWriter does an HTTP POST with Basic Auth with the data gathered previously.
The test class, in a separate process, registers REST listener and posts a JMS message. When the REST method gets the message it exits. This means success. (Test needs to be enhanced.)
What is happening right now is that, in spite of a successful (no exceptions/errors, auth passes, data is exchanged both ways) REST transaction, the Batch framework repeats the step. Since the test class exits after responding to the REST request, the new POSTs fail. I let it run once and it went to over 120 retries.
The Question: In case of success, how do I keep the retry/repeat mechanism from being triggered?
