Summary

  • Add shouldRetry predicate to RetryOptions so callers can abort retries immediately for errors that will never succeed
  • Wire it up in token.ts to skip retries for WorkflowValidationSkipError (deterministic 401)
  • Add unit tests for the new shouldRetry behavior

Fixes #1081

Add shouldRetry predicate to RetryOptions so callers can abort retries
for errors that will never succeed (e.g. 401 WorkflowValidationSkipError).

Previously, retryWithBackoff retried all errors blindly, wasting ~35s on
deterministic failures like workflow validation 401s.

Fixes anthropics#1081
