Changes

• Added persisted, bounded exponential chat retry with jitter and reconnect/wake fast paths.
• Matched outbox identity to (conversationID, clientNonce).
• Added truthful permanent-failure presentation and Retry/Remove actions.
• Corrected queue disclosure to mode-0600 plaintext, not encrypted or metadata-only.

• Exact changed paths are listed in /Users/richh/dev/_handoff/tyrell-build8-outbox-delivery.md.

• swift test: exit 0; Swift Testing groups of 250, 69, and 56 tests passed, plus all XCTest suites.
• git diff --check: passed.
• Worktree clean after commit.

Rollback

• Before integration: ignore or delete the isolated branch/worktree after confirming the commit is not needed.
• After integration: revert commit 58ba4a462a0a5bba3a2d6728ec97ebbfe9273ee7 in the integrating branch.
• No app, daemon, server, schema, or fleet runtime was deployed or modified.

Outstanding owner action

• Lead agent must review and cherry-pick the commit into the Build 8 integration worktree, rerun release gates, and deploy through the designated canary only if those gates pass.
