Add opt-in watch auto-reconnect helper with checkpoint resume #6

@rawkode

Description

@rawkode

Problem

src/client/watch.rs documents that watch streams do not reconnect automatically.

Impact

Transient network/server failures require manual reconnect logic in every consumer, increasing duplication and risk of dropped change events.

Proposed change

  • Provide an opt-in watch helper/wrapper that:
    • reconnects on transient failures with bounded backoff,
    • resumes from the last checkpoint token,
    • surfaces non-retryable failures immediately.
  • Keep current behavior as default for users who do not opt in.
  • Add tests covering reconnect and checkpoint resume flow.

Acceptance criteria

  • New opt-in API exists for automatic reconnect + resume.
  • Reconnect uses backoff and resumes with the most recent checkpoint token.
  • Non-retryable errors are surfaced without infinite retry.
  • Tests validate reconnect behavior and no-duplication/no-gap resume expectations.
