feat: add retry function and @retry decorator #73

Description

@tabkram

Goal

Add a retry() function and @retry() method decorator for transient failures.

const getInvoice = retry(
  async (invoiceId: string) => billingApi.getInvoice(invoiceId),
  {
    attempts: 3,
    backoff: 'exponential',
    initialDelay: 200,
    maxDelay: 2_000,
    jitter: true,
    shouldRetry: (error) => error.status >= 500
  }
);

Scope

  • Configurable maximum attempts
  • Fixed, exponential, and custom backoff
  • Optional jitter and maximum delay
  • shouldRetry(error, attempt) predicate
  • onRetry hook and AbortSignal support
  • Preserve the final error and stack
  • Unit tests and documentation

Trace integration

Model each attempt as a child node and record delay, failure reason, and final outcome.

Acceptance criteria

  • Sync and async functions are supported
  • Non-retryable errors stop immediately
  • Cancellation stops pending delays and rejects predictably
  • Public API is exported from the package entry point
