Things brings networkError on parity with requestFailed(), which is emitted for every job that goes through callApi()

I like the direction but the devil's in the details.

You're effectively reverting e9c3d37 here, which reopens #614. networkError() is emitted here with -1 for the time until the next attempt to signify that the job has run out of attempts (probably it should be documented). Quaternion relies on this to retry assumeIdentity() indefinitely; but now that I think of it, it's probably reasonable to just make assumeIdentity() try indefinitely instead, the same way SyncJob does. In any case, that piece has to be either reverted, or overhauled.

When you mean "that piece", are you referring to the magic -1 handling? Would you suggest modifying assumeIdentity() to have that behavior should happen here in quotient or in quaternon? Or would it be better done by just adding setMaxRetries(std::numeric_limits<int>::max()); to GetTokenOwnerJob?

I mean the way assumeIdentity() deals with network errors. I think it would be ideal to call setMaxRetries() on this particular job instance.

GetTokenOwnerJob itself is generated from the API definition, you can't change it directly - and actually, you shouldn't because it would affect all respective requests, including those from the client code. As of now, setMaxRetries() is protected but there's actually no particular reason it should be this way (it's actually public, so point 1 below is done). So what I suggest is:

  1. Make BaseJob::setMaxRetries() public. As far as I can tell, it doesn't even break the ABI (and definitely doesn't break the API) compatibility.
  2. Call job->setMaxRetries() on the job object returned by callApi(). This is safe to do at any point in the job's lifecycle, no need to delay the job execution.
  3. Delete emission of networkError() (you already did it here).

This is generated code (look in CONTRIBUTING.md and search csapi in it) - this line will be overwritten the next time I run the generator (which can be almost any time).
