Subject: [PATCH] ci: add retry with exponential backoff to deploy step (#212)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

## Summary

- Replaces curl's built-in `--retry` with a shell loop that retries up
to 5 times on any non-2xx response (not just connection failures)
- Delays increase with each attempt: 10s → 20s → 30s → 40s between
retries
- Exits immediately on success so successful deploys are unaffected
