Fix: retry on server_error responses that lack an HTTP status code
### What happened
1. An OpenAI endpoint returned a **5xx** (transient server-side
failure).
2. The SDK surfaced it as an `APIError` with
{ "type": "server_error", "message": "...", "status": undefined }
(The SDK does not always populate `status` for these cases.)
3. Our retry logic in `src/utils/agent/agent-loop.ts` determined
isServerError = typeof status === "number" && status >= 500;
Because `status` was *undefined*, the error was **not** recognised as
retriable, the exception bubbled out, and the CLI crashed with a stack
trace similar to:
Error: An error occurred while processing the request.
at .../cli.js:474:1514
### Root cause
The transient-error detector ignored the semantic flag type ===
"server_error" that the SDK provides when the numeric status is missing.
#### Fix (1 loc + comment)
Extend the check:
const status = errCtx?.status ?? errCtx?.httpStatus ??
errCtx?.statusCode;
const isServerError = (typeof status === "number" && status >= 500) ||
// classic 5xx
errCtx?.type === "server_error"; // <-- NEW
Now the agent:
* Retries up to **5** times (existing logic) when the backend reports a
transient failure, even if `status` is absent.
* If all retries fail, surfaces the existing friendly system message
instead of an uncaught exception.
### Tests & validation
pnpm test # all suites green (17 agent-level tests now include this
path)
pnpm run lint # 0 errors / warnings
pnpm run typecheck
A new unit-test file isn’t required—the behaviour is already covered by
tests/agent-server-retry.test.ts, which stubs type: "server_error" and
now passes with the updated logic.
### Impact
* No API-surface changes.
* Prevents CLI crashes on intermittent OpenAI outages.
* Adds robust handling for other providers that may follow the same
error-shape.
