Full definition of retry
Retries make automations resilient to transient failures — a brief network outage, a third-party rate limit, a momentary 5xx error. Tiny Command retries failed actions automatically with exponential backoff (1s, 4s, 16s, 1m) up to 5 attempts. Permanent failures (4xx errors like 401, 403, 404) skip retries because re-attempting won't fix the root cause.
