- PR #109329: fix(discord): retry standalone sends after rate limits

The members share one theme: the standalone Discord send path (\`hermes send\`) reportedly drops remaining message chunks on a 429 response, and several pull requests propose adding a retry, with at least one honoring \`retry_after\`. The titles do not confirm whether any of these changes were merged or verified.
