When the Resend API returns a 429 with error name rate_limit_exceeded, the CLI now retries up to 3 times before giving up. It reads the retry-after header when available, falling back to exponential backoff (1s, 2s, 4s). The spinner updates to show retry status. Only rate_limit_exceeded is retried. Quota errors (daily_quota_exceeded, monthly_quota_exceeded) are not retried since they will not resolve by waiting. Closes resend#41

Since this is your first cubic review, here's how it works:
- cubic automatically reviews your code and comments on bugs and improvements
- Teach cubic by replying to its comments. cubic learns from your replies and gets better over time
- Add one-off context when rerunning by tagging
@cubic-dev-aiwith guidance or docs links (includingllms.txt) - Ask questions if you need clarification on any suggestion
Migrated retry tests from bun:test to vitest to match upstream's runtime migration (bun -> node, bun:test -> vitest).
Prevents the two constants from drifting out of sync.
