Measured 2026-08-04: 13 script invocations in one shell loop tripped an
anonymous Forgejo rate limit at 26 requests, because each invocation makes
TWO calls (org listing + catalog marketplace.json), not the ONE this repo's
own CLAUDE.md claimed. That line went stale when INSTALL-TRUTH added the
second call and nobody updated the count it depended on.
fetchWithRetry wraps both calls, honoring Retry-After on HTTP 429 instead of
silently falling back to SKIP. TDD: 5 new tests inject a fake fetch and sleep
to drive the retry/backoff/give-up paths without touching the network.
A sweep across every repo still doesn't belong in this engine — that's
org-ops's job by this file's own header — but a single repo's self-check
should not read as broken just because the forge was briefly busy.
