Add retry logic to handle GitHub API eventual consistency errors that can occur after creating a new pull request. Follow-up API calls for milestones, labels, assignees, and reviewers may fail with a 422 "Could not resolve to a node" error before the PR is fully propagated. - Add generic `retryWithBackoff` helper in `src/utils.ts` with exponential backoff (default 2 retries, starting at 1s delay) - Wrap post-creation API calls in `src/github-helper.ts` with `withRetryForNewPr()`, which only retries for newly created PRs - Use `@octokit/request-error` `RequestError` type for precise error matching (status 422 + "Could not resolve to a node" message) - Add unit tests for `retryWithBackoff` covering success, retry, exhaustion, and non-retryable error scenarios - Update `dist/index.js` bundle and `package.json` dependencies
