feat(retry): add bounded-retry utility (WhatsApp-aligned)

Per-operation exponential backoff with jitter, max attempts, and TTL. Replaces the circuit breaker pattern, which was causing cascading failures (5 timeouts in 60s blocked all queries for 30s). Empirical defaults captured via Frida from WhatsApp Android: - delays: [3000, 10000, 60000, 60000, 120000] ms (cap at 2 min) - TTL: 600_000 ms (10 min — empirical 3-5 min stabilisation + buffer) - per-attempt timeout: 30_000 ms - jitter: ±15% Properties (vs circuit breaker): - Per-operation independent — failures in op A do NOT block op B - No global state machine (no CLOSED/OPEN/HALF-OPEN cascade) - Bounded by maxAttempts + ttlMs (no unbounded retry accumulation) - AbortSignal cancellation support - Aligned with WhatsApp Android empirical retry behavior 12 tests cover: default sequence, TTL exhaustion, per-attempt timeout, shouldRetry predicate, AbortSignal, per-op isolation, delay cap, jitter, budget cap. All pass in ~4s.

+/**
+ * Bounded retry — WhatsApp-aligned per-operation retry without global state.
+ *
+ * Replaces the circuit breaker pattern, which was causing cascading failures
+ * (5 timeouts in 60s -> all queries blocked for 30s). Empirical capture of
+ * WhatsApp Android's behavior shows it uses per-operation exponential backoff
+ * with a delay cap, not a state-machine circuit breaker:
+ *
+ *   delays observed (Frida trace): 3000 -> 10000 -> 60000 -> ~64000 -> 120000 ms
+ *   memory profile during 5min disconnect: dropped 53MB and stabilised
+ *   FDs during disconnect: closed (305 -> 295), did not accumulate
+ *   recovery on reconnect: ~10s, no retry storm
+ *
+ * Design:
+ * - Each operation has its own independent retry timer
+ * - Failures in one operation do NOT block other operations
+ * - Bounded by maxAttempts + ttlMs (eventual give-up to prevent unbounded
+ *   accumulation under prolonged outages)
+ * - Per-attempt timeout (independent of total ttl)
+ *
+ * @module Utils/bounded-retry
