@retry N — Retry entry on failure #26

Description

@sleipi

Add @retry N directive that re-runs an entry up to N times if it fails.

Use cases

  • Flaky network-dependent tests
  • Race conditions in integration tests
  • Eventual consistency scenarios

Behavior (proposed)

  • Entry is re-executed up to N times on failure
  • First passing run = PASS (no further retries)
  • All N attempts fail = FAIL (report last attempt's failures)
  • Output: indicate retry count (e.g. "PASS (retry 2/3)")

Open questions

  • Delay between retries? Fixed? Configurable via @retry-delay MS?
  • Should retries reset captures?
  • Interaction with @timeout — does timeout apply per-attempt or total?
