chore(codex): bootstrap PR for issue #167

[stranske]

Automated Status Summary

Scope

• Address unmet acceptance criteria from PR chore(codex): bootstrap PR for issue #164 #166.
• Original scope:
• The verifier CI query (verifier_ci_query.js) currently makes a single API call to fetch workflow run results. If the GitHub API returns a transient error (rate limit, timeout, network hiccup), the query fails silently and the verifier sees missing CI results.
• This can cause false negatives where the verifier marks test-related criteria as NOT MET due to API failures rather than actual CI failures.
• ### Current Behavior
• - Single API call per workflow
• - Failures logged as warnings but not retried
• - Missing results treated as "not found"
• ### Desired Behavior
• - Retry transient failures with exponential backoff
• - Distinguish between "CI not run" and "API error"
• - Log retry attempts for debugging

Tasks

• Satisfy: Transient API failures (429, 500, 502, 503, 504) are retried up to 3 times
• Satisfy: Successful retry results in correct CI data being returned
• Satisfy: Max retry exceeded results in clear error message, not silent "not found"
• Satisfy: Tests cover retry success and retry exhaustion scenarios
• Satisfy: Selftest CI passes

Acceptance criteria

• Transient API failures (429, 500, 502, 503, 504) are retried up to 3 times
• Successful retry results in correct CI data being returned
• Max retry exceeded results in clear error message, not silent "not found"
• Tests cover retry success and retry exhaustion scenarios
• Selftest CI passes

Codex output:

Added a regression test that asserts non‑transient (404) GitHub API errors do not retry and surface as api_error. This tightens the verifier retry contract in .github/scripts/__tests__/verifier-ci-query.test.js, keeping behavior within the existing retry scope while covering a previously unass...

📋 Task Reconciliation Needed

⚠️ Codex changed 2 file(s) but didn't check off any tasks.

Next iteration should:

1. Review the changes made and determine which tasks were addressed
2. Update the PR body to check off completed task checkboxes
3. If work was unrelated to tasks, continue with remaining tasks
