chore: replace always-on faraday-retry with opt-in RetryConfig

 - Regenerated from the latest chat OpenAPI spec. New endpoints: `Moderation#analyze`, `Moderation#bulk_action_appeals`, `Moderation#get_setup_session`, `Moderation#upsert_setup_session`; `Feeds#get_or_create_follow`, `Feeds#get_or_create_unfollow`, `Feeds#get_user_interests`; `Chat#create_segment`, `Chat#update_segment`, `Chat#add_segment_targets`; `Common#cancel_import_v2_task`; `Video#report_client_call_event`, together with the request and response models backing them.
 - New webhook event types `moderation.image_analysis.complete` and `moderation.text_analysis.complete`, parsed into `ModerationImageAnalysisCompleteEvent` and `ModerationTextAnalysisCompleteEvent`.
 - Structured logging (CHA-2957): the existing `logger:` kwarg on `GetStreamRuby::Client.new`/`Configuration` now drives 4 events: `client.initialized` (INFO, once at construction), `http.request.sent` and `http.response.received` (DEBUG, the latter fires for every response including 4xx/5xx), and `http.request.failed` (ERROR, transport failures only, no HTTP response received). Query values and top-level JSON body keys for `api_key`/`api_secret`/`token`/`password` are always redacted to `<redacted>`; no headers are ever logged. New `log_bodies:` option (default `false`) opts into logging request/response bodies (still key-redacted) and emits one WARN at construction. New `GetStreamRuby::LogRedaction` module (`redact_query`, `redact_json_body`, `redact_message`).
+- New opt-in retry policy (CHA-2959): `GetStreamRuby::RetryConfig` (`enabled:`, `max_attempts:`, `max_backoff:`) passed via the new `retry_config:` option on `Client.new`/`Configuration`. Disabled by default. When enabled, only `GET`/`HEAD` requests are retried, and only on HTTP 429 (unless `unrecoverable`) or a transport error, honoring `Retry-After` (clamped to `max_backoff`, no jitter) or otherwise waiting a full-jitter delay up to `min(max_backoff, 2**attempt)`. Each retried attempt logs `http.request.failed` at DEBUG with a `retry.attempt` field.
 
 ### Changed

 - `ChannelInput#config_overrides` and `ChannelDataUpdate#config_overrides` are now typed as `ChannelConfigOverrides` (the override-specific field set) instead of the full `ChannelConfig`.
 - `LLMRule#description` and `TargetResolution#bitrate` are now optional.
 - The former "connection pool" INFO line (CHA-2956) is now `client.initialized` and carries the structured-logging field set above (adapter identity is no longer part of it; a silent adapter fallback still always WARNs, see `warn_pool_fallback`). Its old `$stdout` fallback is removed: with no `logger:` configured, the SDK now produces zero log output.
+- **Breaking**: removed the always-on `faraday-retry` middleware (and the `faraday-retry` runtime dependency). It used to silently retry `GET`/`HEAD`/`PUT`/`DELETE`/`OPTIONS` requests up to 3 times on a timeout exception only (never on 429 or other HTTP status codes). Retries are now opt-in via `retry_config:` (see Added), apply only to `GET`/`HEAD`, and additionally cover 429. Pass `retry_config: GetStreamRuby::RetryConfig.new(enabled: true)` to restore retry-on-timeout behavior.

+## Retries
+
+Retries are opt-in via `retry_config:` and disabled by default (the client makes exactly one attempt; errors surface unchanged). When enabled, only `GET`/`HEAD` requests are retried, and only when they fail with HTTP 429 (unless the error is marked `unrecoverable`) or a transport-level error (connection reset, timeout, DNS failure, TLS handshake failure). Writes, 5xx responses, and other 4xx responses are never retried.
+
+```ruby
+client = GetStreamRuby::Client.new(
+  api_key: '...', api_secret: '...',
+  retry_config: GetStreamRuby::RetryConfig.new(enabled: true, max_attempts: 3, max_backoff: 30.0)
+)
+```
+
+`max_attempts` caps the total number of attempts (default 3). `max_backoff` caps the wait between attempts (default 30.0 seconds). A 429 with a `Retry-After` header waits exactly that long, clamped to `max_backoff`, with no jitter. Otherwise the wait is full jitter: a random delay between 0 and `min(max_backoff, 2**attempt)` seconds.
+
 ## Logging
 
 Pass a stdlib `Logger` via `logger:` to get structured, single-line log events. With no `logger:`, the SDK produces zero output; the SDK never sets the logger's level either, that's the caller's call.
@@ -182,7 +195,7 @@ Four events are emitted:
 - `client.initialized` (INFO, once at construction): SDK version and the effective client config (pool size, timeouts, gzip, whether a custom `http_client`/`log_bodies` is set).
 - `http.request.sent` (DEBUG, before each request).
 - `http.response.received` (DEBUG, after any response including 4xx/5xx — those are just data, not a failure).
-- `http.request.failed` (ERROR, transport failure only: no HTTP response was received at all, e.g. connection reset, timeout, DNS failure, TLS handshake failure).
+- `http.request.failed` (ERROR, transport failure only: no HTTP response was received at all, e.g. connection reset, timeout, DNS failure, TLS handshake failure). When [retries](#retries) are enabled, each retried attempt also emits `http.request.failed` at DEBUG with a `retry.attempt` field (1-indexed) before its backoff sleep; a 429 retry omits `error.type` (the paired `http.response.received` already recorded the status), a transport-error retry includes it.
 
 Query values for `api_key`/`api_secret`/`token` are always redacted to `<redacted>`, and the same keys are redacted (shallowly, top-level only) in JSON body logging. No headers are ever logged. Request/response bodies are not logged by default; pass `log_bodies: true` to opt in (values for the keys above are still redacted). Enabling it emits one WARN at construction as a reminder that your logs will now contain body content.
