Replaces stale issue #37. OpenAI API calls fail transiently (rate limits, 500s). Without retry logic, users see failures for recoverable errors.

Implementation:

  • Wrap OpenAI API calls in a retry function
  • Retry on: 429 (rate limit), 500, 502, 503 status codes
  • Max 3 retries with exponential backoff: 1s, 2s, 4s (with jitter)
  • Do NOT retry on: 400 (bad request), 401 (auth), 404
  • Log each retry attempt with attempt number and error code
  • After final failure, throw typed error for upstream handling

Acceptance criteria:

  • Transient OpenAI errors are retried up to 3 times
  • Non-retryable errors fail immediately
  • Retry attempts are logged
  • Close #37 when merged

Closing as too broad — 7h stale with no PR. Recommend splitting into narrower, focused issues (e.g., per-service retry policies, circuit breaker for specific integrations) for more actionable scope.

Closing as too broad — retry logic should be re-scoped into smaller, focused tasks.
