Implement new composite action to automatically retry failed workflow runs with configurable limits and retry modes (all/failed-only). Features: - Python script with GitHub CLI integration for workflow management - Configurable max retries and retry modes (all vs failed-only) - Smart retry logic: only retries failure/timed_out/cancelled workflows - Returns status, retry count, and retry flag as outputs - optional filtering to only retry when specific jobs or steps fail - automatic step summary generation in GitHub Actions UI Filtering on specific jobs or steps: - job-name: Only retry if specified job failed (ignores other failures) - step-name: Only retry if specified step failed (searches all jobs) - Both: Only retry if step failed in specific job Add automatic step summary generation in GitHub Actions UI with: - Workflow information (name, branch, status, run ID with link) - Retry details (count, max retries, mode, whether retried) - Context-specific messages with visual indicators (emojis) - Helpful notes for each scenario (retry triggered, max reached, etc.)
