Retry with Backoff

Re-attempting failed requests with increasing delays so a brief outage does not become a thundering herd.

Ask Melo about this← all terms

Retry 429s and 5xxs with jitter; do not retry 400s or idempotency-unsafe POSTs without a key. Agent loops that retry tool calls blindly can loop forever and run up the bill. Cap attempts and surface the last error to the user.
