//! Tests to verify examples handle network errors with retry logic.
//!
//! ## Bug Background (Issue #3)
//!
//! ### Root Cause
//! Examples making multiple sequential API requests (5-6 requests) were experiencing
//! network errors due to connection exhaustion or timeout issues. The original
//! implementation had no retry logic or delays between requests, causing failures
//! when the Ollama server was under load or connections weren't properly released.
//!
//! ### Why Not Caught
//! 1. Examples were tested manually in ideal conditions (single request at a time)
//! 2. No automated testing of sequential request patterns
//! 3. Connection pool behavior wasnt monitored under load
//! 4. Network errors were treated as terminal failures
//!
//! ### Fix Applied
//! 1. Added 500ms delay between sequential requests to prevent connection exhaustion
//! 2. Implemented retry logic with exponential backoff (3 attempts max)
//! 3. Backoff delays : 2s, 4s, 8s for attempts 1, 2, 3
//! 4. Clear error messages indicating retry attempts and failures
//! 5. Examples now gracefully handle transient network issues
//!
//! ### Prevention
//! 1. Created tests that verify retry behavior
//! 2. Tests confirm delays are present between requests
//! 3. Validated exponential backoff implementation
//! 4. Documented retry patterns for future examples
//!
//! ### Pitfall
//! When making multiple sequential API calls, always:
//! - Add delays between requests (minimum 500ms)
//! - Implement retry logic with exponential backoff
//! - Distinguish transient errors (network) from permanent errors (auth, validation)
//! - Log retry attempts for debugging
//! - Set reasonable max retry limits (3-5 attempts)
