Conversation
Roll the pinned SHA forward to pick up the @octokit/plugin-retry wiring, which retries GitHub's transient 5xx responses (including the 'Unicorn!' HTML 500 page) with exponential backoff (~1s/4s/9s, 3 attempts) instead of failing the run on the first transient error.

Bump the pinned action SHA to pick up iainmcgin/cla-github-action@5b54183, which wires
@octokit/plugin-retryinto the action's Octokit clients.Motivation: GitHub's API periodically returns transient 5xx errors (notably the "Unicorn!" HTML 500 page) that previously failed the CLA check immediately and required a manual
recheckcomment. With the new version, the action retries 5xx and network errors three times with exponential backoff (~1s/4s/9s) before giving up. 4xx errors (401/403/404/422/451) are not retried, so genuine misconfiguration still fails fast.
