test: add unit tests for retryWithBackoff

[sapnilbiswas]

Summary

This PR adds a comprehensive Jest test suite for the js/utils/retryWithBackoff.js module, which handles race conditions (like waiting for container bounds) using an exponential backoff strategy. This previously untested file now has 100% test coverage (statements, branches, functions, and lines).

What changed

• Added: js/utils/__tests__/retryWithBackoff.test.js — New Jest test file for testing the backoff and retry behavior.

Test coverage

• Immediate Resolution: Verifies that if check() returns truthy on the first try, it resolves immediately without triggering any delay timeouts.
• Exponential Backoff Scaling: Ensures the delay correctly scales exponentially between attempts (initialDelay * 2^attempt).
• Retry Exhaustion: Checks that exceeding maxRetries properly halts execution and throws an Error with the provided (or default) errorMessage.
• Side-effects Callback (onRetry): Asserts that the optional onRetry callback is invoked with the correct attempt index on each failure.
• Default Arguments & Fallbacks: Ensures fallback to the default Promise-wrapped setTimeout when a custom delayFn is omitted, and tests the default maxRetries (20) and initialDelay (50) values.

How it is tested

• Mocking: Used jest.fn() to mock the check(), onSuccess(), onRetry(), and delayFn() functions to strictly verify invocation counts and arguments.
• Simulating State Changes: Utilized .mockReturnValueOnce() to simulate check() initially failing (returning falsy values) before eventually succeeding on later attempts to test the retry loop.
• Fake Timers: For testing the default delayFn (which uses standard setTimeout), jest.useFakeTimers() and jest.advanceTimersByTime() were used to advance the clock instantly, ensuring the tests remain fast and deterministic without actual asynchronous waiting.
• Error Handling: Used Jest's .rejects.toThrow() to validate that the correct error boundaries are hit when the maximum number of retries is exceeded.

@walterbender PLease have a look when you get time

Tested locally - the added tests cover the retry, backoff, and failure scenarios well.

why a separate file when we already have one on master ?
