- #35121: Treat memory quota exceeded as a non-retryable tool-loop failure

The three members all concern stopping an agent or tool loop from retrying failures that would recur deterministically, with two focused on memory quota exceeded and one on tool retries more generally. Based only on the titles, they appear to be closely related, but their specific changes and outcomes are not stated.
