description	Fetch data with a strict retry budget. Use when asked to fetch data that may be unavailable.

Resilient fetch

Use the flaky-fetch CLI to fetch the data the user asks for.

Retry budget — this is a hard rule:

• Call flaky-fetch at most 3 times.
• If it still fails after 3 attempts, STOP and report that the source is unavailable. Do not keep retrying.
• An HTTP 404 - permanent error means retrying will never help. Report it and stop immediately; do not use up the rest of the budget.
