Subject: [PATCH 1/5] feat: implement jittered exponential backoff for LLM API
 retries (fixes #1805)

- Add retry_utils.py with configurable jittered exponential backoff
- Add RetryBackoffConfig to Agent constructor with sensible defaults
- Implement _chat_completion_with_retry() wrapper for LLM API calls
- Wire OnRetryInput hook with delay and attempt information
- Add interrupt-aware sleep to prevent blocking during shutdown
- Apply retry logic to main chat, reflection, and completion calls

Resolves thundering-herd behaviour on rate limits (HTTP 429) and
transient network/service failures with graceful backoff strategy.

Subject: [PATCH 2/5] fix: address critical issues identified by code reviewers

- Fix jitter overflow: clamp delay after jitter to respect max_delay
- Fix context-overflow regression: remove hardcoded _retry_depth=1
- Add RetryBackoffConfig export to __init__.py for documented imports
- Add comprehensive validation with clear error messages
- Make interruption terminal to prevent continued retries
- Add async retry wrapper _achat_completion_with_retry for async paths
- Fix clone propagation: include retry config in clone_for_channel
- Update sync chat calls to use retry wrapper

Fixes all P1 and P2 issues identified by Greptile, CodeRabbit, and Copilot.
Maintains backward compatibility and follows AGENTS.md guidelines.

Subject: [PATCH 3/5] fix: resolve critical infinite recursion and parameter
 passing issues in retry logic

- Fix infinite recursion: _chat_completion_with_retry now calls _execute_unified_chat_completion instead of _chat_completion
- Add missing stream_callback and emit_events parameters to _chat_completion_with_retry signature
- Restore proper call chain: _chat_impl -> _chat_completion -> _chat_completion_with_retry -> _execute_unified_chat_completion
- Use module-level logger instead of root logger for consistency
- Use interruptible_sleep helper in async retry to reduce code duplication
- Update docstrings to accurately describe jitter behavior (additive positive only)

This ensures all synchronous LLM calls work correctly without infinite recursion or TypeError, while preserving essential wrapper logic like context compaction, hooks, and tracing.

Subject: [PATCH 4/5] fix: prevent double retry in streaming fallback

- Check for LLMError in streaming fallback to avoid double retry when retries are exhausted
- LLMErrors that have already been through retry logic are now re-raised immediately
- Other exceptions continue to fall back to non-streaming as before

This addresses the issue identified by Greptile where exhausted retry errors were being caught and retried again in the streaming fallback path.
