Never ask a call again that its callee answered, whatever its words (issue 774)
The review found that busretry could ask a delivered call again: Conn.request turned a callee's error answer into
errors.New(words), and Undelivered matched the words "no responders" and "jetstream not enabled", so a callee that
answered so during a blackout ran its work twice. A callee's answer is now *busretry.Answered, which Undelivered
never counts: only the transport's own no responders makes a call undelivered. The other busretry sites read or
write through JetStream's API (State, Ask) or the runtime's state verbs, where the words are the transport's.

// Package busretry waits out a bus that answers nothing for a few seconds (issue 774, the sweep of 2026-10-30: bus
// blackouts at every user-list reload). nats-server 2.11's reloadAuthorization rebuilds the accounts, and for a few
// seconds the mesh's account has none of its imports, $JS.API.> among them: every request is answered "no responders"
// and every JetStream call "jetstream not enabled". A write or a call made in that window failed, and was lost.
//
// Only an error that says the request reached no one is waited out (Undelivered): nothing was done, so asking again
// is safe even for a write that is not idempotent. A timeout, or any answer, is never asked again: the request may
// have been delivered. The wait is bounded (Bound, about 30 s, backing off), and said on standard error when it ends
// without an answer.
//
// This is the quick fix. The thorough one is a reload that keeps the account's imports, in the bus's holder.
