feat: add retry with exponential backoff for notification delivery

Notifications were fire-and-forget: if Slack, Mattermost, or ntfy was
temporarily down, changes were silently lost. This adds automatic retry
with exponential backoff and jitter to all notification endpoints.

Implementation:
- New retry.go with configurable RetryConfig (max retries, base delay,
  max delay) and exponential backoff with ±25% jitter
- Each dispatch goroutine now wraps its send call in deliverWithRetry
- Default: 3 retries (4 total attempts), 1s base delay, 10s max delay
- Context-aware: respects cancellation during retry sleep
- Structured logging on each retry attempt and on final success after
  retry

All existing tests continue to pass. New tests cover:
- Backoff calculation (increase, cap)
- Retry success on first attempt (no unnecessary retries)
- Retry on transient failure (succeeds after N attempts)
- Exhausted retries (returns last error)
- Context cancellation during retry sleep
- Integration: SendNotification retries transient 500s
- Integration: all three endpoints retry independently
- Integration: permanent failure exhausts retries

-# Repository Rules
-
-Last Updated 2026-01-08
-
-These rules MUST be followed at all times, it is very important.
-
-* Never use `git add -A` - add specific changes to a deliberate commit. A
-  commit should contain one change. After each change, make a commit with a
-  good one-line summary.
-
-* NEVER modify the linter config without asking first.
-
-* NEVER modify tests to exclude special cases or otherwise get them to pass
-  without asking first. In almost all cases, the code should be changed,
-  NOT the tests. If you think the test needs to be changed, make your case
-  for that and ask for permission to proceed, then stop. You need explicit
-  user approval to modify existing tests. (You do not need user approval
-  for writing NEW tests.)
-
-* When linting, assume the linter config is CORRECT, and that each item
-  output by the linter is something that legitimately needs fixing in the
-  code.
-
-* When running tests, use `make test`.
-
-* Before commits, run `make check`. This runs `make lint` and `make test`
-  and `make check-fmt`. Any issues discovered MUST be resolved before
-  committing unless explicitly told otherwise.
-
-* When fixing a bug, write a failing test for the bug FIRST. Add
-  appropriate logging to the test to ensure it is written correctly. Commit
-  that. Then go about fixing the bug until the test passes (without
-  modifying the test further). Then commit that.
-
-* When adding a new feature, do the same - implement a test first (TDD). It
-  doesn't have to be super complex. Commit the test, then commit the
-  feature.
-
-* When adding a new feature, use a feature branch. When the feature is
-  completely finished and the code is up to standards (passes `make check`)
-  then and only then can the feature branch be merged into `main` and the
-  branch deleted.
-
-* Write godoc documentation comments for all exported types and functions as
-  you go along.
-
-* ALWAYS be consistent in naming. If you name something one thing in one
-  place, name it the EXACT SAME THING in another place.
-
-* Be descriptive and specific in naming. `wl` is bad;
-  `SourceHostWhitelist` is good. `ConnsPerHost` is bad;
-  `MaxConnectionsPerHost` is good.
-
-* This is not prototype or teaching code - this is designed for production.
-  Any security issues (such as denial of service) or other web
-  vulnerabilities are P1 bugs and must be added to TODO.md at the top.
-
-* As this is production code, no stubbing of implementations unless
-  specifically instructed. We need working implementations.
-
-* Avoid vendoring deps unless specifically instructed to.  NEVER commit
-  the vendor directory, NEVER commit compiled binaries.  If these
-  directories or files exist, add them to .gitignore (and commit the
-  .gitignore) if they are not already in there.  Keep the entire git
-  repository (with history) small - under 20MiB, unless you specifically
-  must commit larger files (e.g. test fixture example media files).  Only
-  OUR source code and immediately supporting files (such as test examples)
-  goes into the repo/history.

+
+- **Summary counts** for monitored domains, hostnames, ports, and

+- **Domains** with their discovered nameservers.
+- **Hostnames** with per-nameserver DNS records and status.
+- **Ports** with open/closed state and associated hostnames.
+- **TLS certificates** with CN, issuer, expiry, and status.
+- **Recent alerts** (last 100 notifications sent since the process
+  started), displayed in reverse chronological order.
+
+Every data point shows its age (e.g. "5m ago") so you can tell at a
+glance how fresh the information is. The page auto-refreshes every 30
+seconds.
+
+The dashboard intentionally does not expose any configuration details
+such as webhook URLs, notification endpoints, or API tokens.
+
+All assets (CSS) are embedded in the binary and served from the
+application itself. The dashboard makes zero external HTTP requests —
+no CDN dependencies or third-party resources are loaded at runtime.

+- [Go HTTP Server Conventions](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/prompts/raw/branch/main/prompts/GO_HTTP_SERVER_CONVENTIONS.md)
+
+---
+
+- Cross-project documentation (such as this file) must include
+  `last_modified: YYYY-MM-DD` in the YAML front matter so it can be kept in sync
+  with the authoritative source as policies evolve.
+
+- **ALL external references must be pinned by cryptographic hash.** This
+  includes Docker base images, Go modules, npm packages, GitHub Actions, and
+  anything else fetched from a remote source. Version tags (`@v4`, `@latest`,
+  `:3.21`, etc.) are server-mutable and therefore remote code execution
+  vulnerabilities. The ONLY acceptable way to reference an external dependency
+  is by its content hash (Docker `@sha256:...`, Go module hash in `go.sum`, npm
+  integrity hash in lockfile, GitHub Actions `@<commit-sha>`). No exceptions.
+  This also means never `curl | bash` to install tools like pyenv, nvm, rustup,
+  etc. Instead, download a specific release archive from GitHub, verify its hash
+  (hardcoded in the Dockerfile or script), and only then install. Unverified
+  install scripts are arbitrary remote code execution. This is the single most
+  important rule in this document. Double-check every external reference in
+  every file before committing. There are zero exceptions to this rule.
+
+- Every repo with software must have a root `Makefile` with these targets:
+  `make test`, `make lint`, `make fmt` (writes), `make fmt-check` (read-only),
+  `make check` (prereqs: `test`, `lint`, `fmt-check`), `make docker`, and
+  `make hooks` (installs pre-commit hook). A model Makefile is at
+  `https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/prompts/raw/branch/main/Makefile`.
+
+- Always use Makefile targets (`make fmt`, `make test`, `make lint`, etc.)
+  instead of invoking the underlying tools directly. The Makefile is the single
+  source of truth for how these operations are run.
+
+- The Makefile is authoritative documentation for how the repo is used. Beyond
+  the required targets above, it should have targets for every common operation:
+  running a local development server (`make run`, `make dev`), re-initializing
+  or migrating the database (`make db-reset`, `make migrate`), building
+  artifacts (`make build`), generating code, seeding data, or anything else a
+  developer would do regularly. If someone checks out the repo and types
+  `make<tab>`, they should see every meaningful operation available. A new
+  contributor should be able to understand the entire development workflow by
+  reading the Makefile.
+
+- Every repo should have a `Dockerfile`. All Dockerfiles must run `make check`
+  as a build step so the build fails if the branch is not green. For non-server
+  repos, the Dockerfile should bring up a development environment and run
+  `make check`. For server repos, `make check` should run as an early build
+  stage before the final image is assembled.
+
+- Every repo should have a Gitea Actions workflow (`.gitea/workflows/`) that
+  runs `docker build .` on push. Since the Dockerfile already runs `make check`,
+  a successful build implies all checks pass.
+
+- Use platform-standard formatters: `black` for Python, `prettier` for
+  JS/CSS/Markdown/HTML, `go fmt` for Go. Always use default configuration with
+  two exceptions: four-space indents (except Go), and `proseWrap: always` for
+  Markdown (hard-wrap at 80 columns). Documentation and writing repos (Markdown,
+  HTML, CSS) should also have `.prettierrc` and `.prettierignore`.
+
+- Pre-commit hook: `make check` if local testing is possible, otherwise
+  `make lint && make fmt-check`. The Makefile should provide a `make hooks`
+  target to install the pre-commit hook.
+
+- All repos with software must have tests that run via the platform-standard
+  test framework (`go test`, `pytest`, `jest`/`vitest`, etc.). If no meaningful
+  tests exist yet, add the most minimal test possible — e.g. importing the
+  module under test to verify it compiles/parses. There is no excuse for
+  `make test` to be a no-op.
+
+- `make test` must complete in under 20 seconds. Add a 30-second timeout in the
+  Makefile.
+
+- Docker builds must complete in under 5 minutes.
+
+- `make check` must not modify any files in the repo. Tests may use temporary
+  directories.
+
+- `main` must always pass `make check`, no exceptions.
+
+- Never commit secrets. `.env` files, credentials, API keys, and private keys
+  must be in `.gitignore`. No exceptions.
+
+- `.gitignore` should be comprehensive from the start: OS files (`.DS_Store`),
+  editor files (`.swp`, `*~`), language build artifacts, and `node_modules/`.
+  Fetch the standard `.gitignore` from
+  `https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/prompts/raw/branch/main/.gitignore` when setting up
+  a new repo.
+
+- Never use `git add -A` or `git add .`. Always stage files explicitly by name.
+
+- Never force-push to `main`.
+
+- Make all changes on a feature branch. You can do whatever you want on a
+  feature branch.
+
+- `.golangci.yml` is standardized and must _NEVER_ be modified by an agent, only
+  manually by the user. Fetch from
+  `https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/prompts/raw/branch/main/.golangci.yml`.
+
+- When pinning images or packages by hash, add a comment above the reference
+  with the version and date (YYYY-MM-DD).
+
+- Use `yarn`, not `npm`.
+
+- Write all dates as YYYY-MM-DD (ISO 8601).
+
+- Simple projects should be configured with environment variables.
+
+- Dockerized web services listen on port 8080 by default, overridable with
+  `PORT`.
+
+- `README.md` is the primary documentation. Required sections:
+    - **Description**: First line must include the project name, purpose,
+      category (web server, SPA, CLI tool, etc.), license, and author. Example:
+      "µPaaS is an MIT-licensed Go web application by @sneak that receives
+      git-frontend webhooks and deploys applications via Docker in realtime."
+    - **Getting Started**: Copy-pasteable install/usage code block.
+    - **Rationale**: Why does this exist?
+    - **Design**: How is the program structured?
+    - **TODO**: Update meticulously, even between commits. When planning, put
+      the todo list in the README so a new agent can pick up where the last one
+      left off.
+    - **License**: MIT, GPL, or WTFPL. Ask the user for new projects. Include a
+      `LICENSE` file in the repo root and a License section in the README.
+    - **Author**: [@sneak](https://sneak.berlin).
+
+- First commit of a new repo should contain only `README.md`.
+
+- Go module root: `sneak.berlin/go/<name>`. Always run `go mod tidy` before
+  committing.
+
+- Use SemVer.
+
+- Database migrations live in `internal/db/migrations/` and must be embedded in
+  the binary.
+  - `000_migration.sql` — contains ONLY the creation of the migrations tracking
+    table itself. Nothing else.
+  - `001_schema.sql` — the full application schema.
+  - **Pre-1.0.0:** never add additional migration files (002, 003, etc.). There
+    is no installed base to migrate. Edit `001_schema.sql` directly.
+  - **Post-1.0.0:** add new numbered migration files for each schema change.
+    Never edit existing migrations after release.
+
+- All repos should have an `.editorconfig` enforcing the project's indentation
+  settings.
+
+- Avoid putting files in the repo root unless necessary. Root should contain
+  only project-level config files (`README.md`, `Makefile`, `Dockerfile`,
+  `LICENSE`, `.gitignore`, `.editorconfig`, `REPO_POLICIES.md`, and
+  language-specific config). Everything else goes in a subdirectory. Canonical
+  subdirectory names:
+    - `bin/` — executable scripts and tools
+    - `cmd/` — Go command entrypoints
+    - `configs/` — configuration templates and examples
+    - `deploy/` — deployment manifests (k8s, compose, terraform)
+    - `docs/` — documentation and markdown (README.md stays in root)
+    - `internal/` — Go internal packages
+    - `internal/db/migrations/` — database migrations
+    - `pkg/` — Go library packages
+    - `share/` — systemd units, data files
+    - `static/` — static assets (images, fonts, etc.)
+    - `web/` — web frontend source
+
+- When setting up a new repo, files from the `prompts` repo may be used as
+  templates. Fetch them from
+  `https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/prompts/raw/branch/main/<path>`.
+
+- New repos must contain at minimum:
+    - `README.md`, `.git`, `.gitignore`, `.editorconfig`
+    - `LICENSE`, `REPO_POLICIES.md` (copy from the `prompts` repo)
+    - `Makefile`
+    - `Dockerfile`, `.dockerignore`
+    - `.gitea/workflows/check.yml`
+    - Go: `go.mod`, `go.sum`, `.golangci.yml`
+    - JS: `package.json`, `yarn.lock`, `.prettierrc`, `.prettierignore`
+    - Python: `pyproject.toml`

+# Testing Policy
+
+## DNS Resolution Tests
+
+All resolver tests **MUST** use live queries against real DNS servers.
+No mocking of the DNS client layer is permitted.
+
+### Rationale
+
+The resolver performs iterative resolution from root nameservers through
+the full delegation chain. Mocked responses cannot faithfully represent
+the variety of real-world DNS behavior (truncation, referrals, glue
+records, DNSSEC, varied response times, EDNS, etc.). Testing against
+real servers ensures the resolver works correctly in production.
+
+### Constraints
+
+- Tests hit real DNS infrastructure and require network access
+- Test duration depends on network conditions; timeout tuning keeps
+  the suite within the 30-second target
+- Query timeout is calibrated to 3× maximum antipodal RTT (~300ms)
+  plus processing margin
+- Root server fan-out is limited to reduce parallel query load
+- Flaky failures from transient network issues are acceptable and
+  should be investigated as potential resolver bugs, not papered over
+  with mocks or skip flags
+
+### What NOT to do
+
+- **Do not mock `DNSClient`** for resolver tests (the mock constructor
+  exists for unit-testing other packages that consume the resolver)
+- **Do not add `-short` flags** to skip slow tests
+- **Do not increase `-timeout`** to hide hanging queries
+- **Do not modify linter configuration** to suppress findings
