/**
 * Retry helper for GoTrue admin reads (`auth.admin.listUsers` /
 * `auth.admin.getUserById`).
 *
 * Under a rapid burst of admin mutations (bulk ban/unban/delete) immediately
 * followed by the auto list-refresh, GoTrue's admin endpoints intermittently
 * return an EMPTY or TRUNCATED HTTP body. supabase-js then fails to parse the
 * response and throws `Unexpected end of JSON input` (or returns an
 * empty/transient `error`). The underlying request actually succeeded a moment
 * later, so a small bounded retry turns these flaky failures into reliable
 * reads without changing happy-path behaviour.
 *
 * IMPORTANT: only TRANSIENT failures are retried. Legitimate not-found (404) and
 * validation (4xx) errors are returned immediately so genuine failures still
 * surface as proper 4xx/5xx responses upstream.
