That is exactly why we enforce a hard budget cap (default is $1.00).

The system runs a pre-flight check before every LLM call. If you're about to go over budget, it kills the process immediately (SentinelBudgetExceeded).

We don't have a specific "max retries" counter wired up yet, but I'll likely add that soon based on your feedback. For now, the budget cap would have caught it at $1.
