Rewrite the topic copy to reflect current practice: retry only transient
failures (timeouts, 429, 502-504), cap retries, use exponential backoff
with jitter, respect Retry-After, and retry only idempotent requests.
The old copy suggested retrying until a request succeeds, which can cause
retry storms.
Add three resources on backoff, jitter and Retry-After. No other topic in
the API Design, Backend or AI Engineer roadmaps covers these yet.
