/**
* The failed-turn retry (issue #110): a model call that fails persists as an
* assistant message with stopReason "error". The learner's input survives
* (write-ahead), but pre-fix nothing could re-run the turn — re-answering
* 400'd (the question is no longer dangling) and `continue` died in pi
* ("Cannot continue from message role: assistant"). The `retry` input drops
* the failure and re-runs the turn from the input that preceded it.
*
* Drives handleChatRequest with a scripted pi engine (the chat-flow pattern).
