retry store actions when it returns a 503 error
Metadata
Current evaluation
Maintainer-requested resilience for temporary Store 503 responses remains open: all store commands should retry with backoff, but current request handling has no 503-specific retry path.
Suggested action: keep open
Reason: The store-labeled, maintainer-authored request clearly targets temporary 503 failures across all Store commands. The central client request path currently special-cases unauthorized responses but has no 503 or backoff handling; retry limits and safety semantics for state-changing actions still need definition.
