     * are not a stable contract across HTTP transports, so match the message
     * too, and treat ONLY a recognised timeout as non-retryable — any other
     * network failure (DNS, connection refused, TLS) keeps the existing retry
     * behaviour so this cannot make an unrelated transient failure worse.
