fix(http): add exponential backoff for rate limiting (429 errors)

[YonghaoZhao722]

Problem

The current pRetry configuration only specifies { retries: 2 } with no delay between attempts. When the server returns a 429 (rate limit) or 5xx error, the client immediately retries twice without backoff, causing repeated failures.

Solution

Add exponential backoff with jitter to all pRetry calls:

• minTimeout: 1000 - Initial delay of 1 second
• maxTimeout: 8000 - Max delay capped at 8 seconds
• factor: 2 - Exponential multiplier (1s → 2s → 4s...)
• randomize: true - Adds jitter to prevent thundering herd
• onFailedAttempt - Logs retry attempts for debugging

Changes

Modified packages/clawdhub/src/http.ts:

• Added createRetryOptions() helper function
• Replaced all { retries: 2 } with backoff configuration
• Each operation has a descriptive name for logging

Backwards Compatibility

Non-retryable errors (4xx except 429) still abort immediately via AbortError. Only 429 and 5xx errors trigger the backoff retry.

Greptile Summary

Added exponential backoff configuration to all HTTP retry operations to handle rate limiting (429) and server errors (5xx) more gracefully. The implementation introduces a createRetryOptions() helper that configures p-retry with 1-8 second delays, exponential factor of 2, randomized jitter, and debug logging for retry attempts.

Confidence Score: 5/5

• This PR is safe to merge with minimal risk
• The change is well-scoped, adds proper exponential backoff to handle rate limiting gracefully, maintains existing error handling behavior (non-retryable errors still abort immediately), and has comprehensive test coverage that validates retry behavior for 429 errors and timeouts
• No files require special attention
