  "mechanism": "Intelligent re-attempt of failed coordination with failure-informed strategy. After BREAK + COMPENSATE, agent evaluates: (1) CLASSIFY failure—transient (timeout, rate-limit, network blip) vs persistent (capability gap, protocol mismatch, explicit rejection). (2) CHECK retry_hint from BREAK (partner may say 'don't retry' or 'wait 30s'). (3) CONSULT failure_history—same error repeating? {{circuit_breaker}} threshold reached? (4) COMPUTE {{backoff}}—adaptive based on failure type: transient uses {{exponential_backoff}}, persistent uses longer fixed delay or triggers abort. (5) VERIFY changed_conditions—has something changed that makes retry worthwhile? (6) EXECUTE retry if within budget and conditions favor success, else ABORT with retry_exhausted status. Retry CARRIES FORWARD: failure context, partner state observations, environmental data. Retry RESETS: coordination state (fresh start, don't resume mid-stream). It handles transient failures by re-queuing the task, distinguishing them from terminal failures that trigger {{break}} and {{compensate}}.",
