Retry up to 5 times with exponential backoff (5s, 10s, 20s, 40s, 80s)
when the Kiro backend returns ThrottlingException or HTTP 429.
Previously these errors were sent as a fatal StopReason, causing the
agent loop to abort immediately.
Bare JSON scalars (0, true, null, "string") and arrays pass
json.Valid() but the Kiro API rejects them in the json field with
ValidationException. Once such a tool result is in session history,
every subsequent request fails, making the session unrecoverable.
Restrict the json path to content starting with '{' so only actual
JSON objects are sent that way; everything else uses the text field.
- Add ContextLength(ctx) int to Backend interface; each backend fetches
from its API (OpenAI /v1/models, Ollama /api/show, CodeWhisperer
ListAvailableModels) with caching. Falls back to 128k default.
- Add Models(ctx) []string to Backend interface for model discovery.
- Add /models command to list available models.
- Auto-compact before each turn when estimated tokens >= 75% of context length.
Move internal/backend and internal/config to pkg/ so external consumers
can import them. Remove cmd/ollie and internal/tui — they now live in
the separate ollie-tui repo which imports ollie as a library.
