Retry logic converts transient failures to permanent outcomes: exponential backoff with jitter spaces out attempts to prevent thundering herd, but after exhausting retries the failure is made permanent and final — no infinite retry loop, no silent swallow of the underlying error.
Backoff prevents cascading load; finite retry count ensures eventual resolution (success or permanent failure) rather than indefinite limbo
