Research direction

Start by comparing the existing desktop RetryBarrier with the VS Code webview barrier and tracing the existing read-only auto-retry status used by the webview. Make the webview display the matching auto-retry stop-reason line without restoring toggling or Stop controls, then verify the result against the same transcript with a 740px side-by-side comparison.

Description

bug

Follow-up from #4968 (final side-by-side on main 7a235ad68d).

After a non-retryable stream error, the desktop RetryBarrier shows "Stream interrupted", the Retry button, and a second line "Auto-retry stopped: " (e.g. authentication). The VS Code webview shows the barrier and Retry but not the stop-reason line, because #5108 (reduced scope, user-chosen option C) keeps only read-only scheduled/countdown status in the webview.

Acceptance: the webview retry barrier shows the same "Auto-retry stopped: " line as desktop for the same transcript, derived read-only from the existing auto-retry status (no auto-retry toggling or Stop controls added back). Side-by-side screenshot at 740px.

Refs #4968, #5108.
