Research direction
Begin with CodeceptJS configuration for retryFailedStep and the Playwright helper's BDD/Gherkin execution path. Check whether scenario-level retry is documented or supported; done means an evidence-backed configuration or a clearly scoped implementation path for rerunning whole scenarios.

Description
I'm using CodeceptJS with the Playwright helper and BDD-style Gherkin syntax for writing tests. I want to retry an entire scenario if it fails, rather than retrying individual steps.
For example, if a scenario fails due to a temporary glitch (e.g., network issue or slow response), I want the whole scenario to automatically re-run a specified number of times before being marked as failed.
I've found options like retryFailedStep in CodeceptJS config, but that seems to apply only to individual steps.
Is there a built-in way or a recommended approach to retry failed scenarios in CodeceptJS when using Gherkin?
I'd appreciate any examples or configuration snippets if available.
