Keysat 0178f8f5cc v1.2.0:2 — retry login/signup server action once on transport failure
iOS Safari reuses a keep-alive socket the server closed while the login
form sat idle during typing, so the first Sign In / Create account POST
dies instantly with NSURLErrorNetworkConnectionLost ("The network
connection was lost"). That rejects the server-action call, hitting the
client-side catch in LoginForm/SignupForm and showing "An unexpected
error occurred"; the second tap lands on a fresh connection and works.

Add lib/retryAction.ts: retryOnTransportError() retries the action once
only when the call throws. A returned { error } (bad password, rate
limit) is a real result and passes straight through. A lost-on-a-stale-
socket POST never reached the server, so retrying it once is safe.

/**
* Run a server action, retrying it ONCE if the call rejects at the
* transport layer.
*
* iOS Safari (and Safari generally) frequently drops the first POST sent
* on a keep-alive socket that the server closed while the connection sat
* idle — e.g. while the user typed their credentials. The request fails
* instantly with `NSURLErrorNetworkConnectionLost` ("The network
* connection was lost", -1005); a retry lands on a fresh connection and
* succeeds. This is why a first login/signup tap shows "An unexpected
* error occurred" and the second tap works.
*
* Only a *thrown* rejection is retried. A server action that returns a
* value — including an application-level `{ error }` ("Invalid email or
* password", a rate-limit message) — is a real result and passes
* straight through untouched. A lost-on-a-stale-socket POST never
* reached the server, so retrying it once is safe.
