Retry with Backoff
CHALLENGE
Difficulty: intermediate+25 XP
Implement GetWithRetryAsync: up to maxAttempts attempts; retry on 5xx responses and HttpRequestException; NEVER retry other statuses. Delay between attempts with backoff (baseMs << (attempt-1), capped at capMs โ the harness provides a fake async delay recorder). Return the first success; after exhausting attempts return "failed".
``csharp
static Task<string> GetWithRetryAsync(HttpClient http, string path, int maxAttempts, int baseMs, int capMs, CancellationToken ct = default);
