quak backup usually runs from cron with nobody watching. With the default budget (4 attempts, at most about 3.5 s of waiting), an outage longer than a few seconds fails files until the next run.
src/retry.ts exports UNATTENDED_RETRY_OPTIONS beside the unchanged DEFAULT_RETRY_OPTIONS: 10 attempts, 1 s base delay, 60 s cap. A request that keeps failing waits at most 243 s before it gives up. It is exported from the library for use as ApiClientOptions.retry.
bin/quak.ts loads the backup's session with it. Every request the backup makes goes through that client, so the refresh, the ML data and the downloads all use it. Every other command keeps the default. src/cli-commands.ts is untouched.
README "Retries and timeouts": one table with both budgets, and the backup's worst-case wait. TODO.md: Completed Steps entry.
Not visible in the diff:
The 243 s is the waiting between attempts. Each attempt can also run until its own deadline (30 s for a request, 60 s without bytes for a download).
The ML data request is a POST. It is still repeated only when no connection was ever made: the budget changes how many attempts are made, not what is retried.
test/cli/bin.test.ts runs bin/quak.ts with the session loader swapped for a module mock that records the options and reports no session. test/client/session.test.ts checks that the loader gives those options to the client.

README.md line 435 ("so an outage of a few minutes does not fail files until the next run") and the comment above UNATTENDED_RETRY_OPTIONS in src/retry.ts line 41 ("it rides out an outage of a few minutes") are not true of the code. Each wait is drawn at random below its ceiling, so 243 s is the rare upper end: a request whose attempts fail at once (a 503, a refused connection) gives up after about two minutes of waiting on average, so a two-minute outage still fails about half of those requests and a three-minute one nearly all. Acceptable: state what the budget gives (at most 243 s of waiting, usually about half that) and drop the claim that an outage of a few minutes no longer fails files.

README.md "Retries and timeouts", the sentence after the table: "every request it makes uses the second column instead". The table's columns are Option, Default, quak backup, Meaning, so the second column is Default, and read as written the sentence says the backup uses the default numbers.
