Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to Malformed or excessively large Retry-After values can make the client wait too long or retry before the server’s requested window, while the regression test may not reliably detect an early retry. The PR should address these bounded parsing and timing-validation issues before merging. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

In `@src/core/client.ts`:
- Around line 61-65: Update the retry delay calculation around parseRetryAfter
to validate that the Retry-After value is finite, non-empty, and within Node’s
timer-safe limit before using it. Fall back to jitteredDelay for malformed,
empty, or oversized values, while preserving the existing maximum-delay behavior
for valid values. Add regression tests covering invalid, oversized, and valid
Retry-After headers.
In `@test/unit/client.test.ts`:
- Line 80: Update the server startup promise around server.listen so it rejects
when the server emits an error before listening; retain resolving on the
listening callback and ensure the error handler is attached to report startup
failures instead of leaving the promise pending.

out of test/unit and into the e2e test suite, preserving its real TCP behavior;
alternatively, replace the server with vi.hoisted module mocks and vi.fn spies

Requires human review: Modifies retry timing and adds new error behavior for excessive Retry-After values; the failure-on-huge-delay policy is an operational tradeoff needing human sign-off.

429 retries were ignoring the server's
Retry-Afterwindow and could make rate limiting worse. The client now waits for the longer of that window and its local backoff, with a local HTTP regression test covering the real retry timing.Closes #64
