fix: retry on transient LLM response body truncation

Addresses intermittent 'unexpected end of JSON input' failures where the
LLM response body is truncated in transit between the proxy and client.

Root cause: network-level truncation where io.ReadAll returns partial data
(observed in 3/50 CI runs through HAI proxy). The response body reading
was already using io.ReadAll correctly, but transient network issues
between the proxy and client can still cause partial reads.

Changes:
- Add Content-Length validation in doRequest: detect when fewer bytes
  arrive than the server declared, triggering a retry
- Add retry logic in Complete: retries once on retryable errors (body
  read failures, content-length mismatches) with a 500ms backoff
- Add parse-level retry in main: if ParseResponse fails, re-requests
  from the LLM once before giving up (defensive, since retries always
  succeed per issue evidence)
- Improve ParseResponse error diagnostics: log raw vs cleaned lengths
  and a preview of the cleaned content to aid future debugging

Does NOT retry on API errors (4xx/5xx) or structural issues — only
transient body read problems.

Closes #47
