◆GitLabGoal-aligned

Webhook retries flood the agent on Meta 503s

Production incident write-up: when Meta returns 503, our webhook receiver retries with no backoff, multiplying load. Proposes exponential backoff + idempotency key. Linked to 3 Sentry issues.

◆GitLabGoal-aligned

feat: exponential backoff + idempotency key on webhook receiver

Implements the fix proposed in #88. Retries now back off 1s→32s with jitter; idempotency key dedupes Meta redeliveries. Adds 8 tests covering the 503 storm scenario.
