[NicholasZolton]

Adds a small retry() helper for flaky async operations. Opening this to watch the layered-review agent evaluate it against the repo's neverthrow rule (the helper uses try/catch + throw).

❌ Error handling / no-try-catch

New try/catch block added in a new file. The codebase is migrating to neverthrow; new fallible code should return Result<T, E> instead of using try/catch.

Suggested fix: Refactor to accept a function returning ResultAsync<T, E> and use .orElse() for retries instead of try/catch.

❌ Error handling / no-try-catch

New thrown exception added. New fallible functions should return Result<T, E> from neverthrow using err(...)/ok(...) instead of throwing.

Suggested fix: Return err(...) from neverthrow and update the function signature to return Result<T, E> or ResultAsync<T, E>.
