Research direction

Start by locating the processor's single-phrase path and the LLM request failure handling described in the issue. Trace how a failed request currently becomes NOT_ENTAILMENT, then verify that failures are retried with exponential backoff and that processing stops when a request cannot be completed, rather than returning default evidence-free results.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

`Run the processor on a single phrase.

    If LLM fails to respond, we return a default NOT_ENTAILMENT with no evidence.
    If LLM tries to rephrase the input, we log a warning and correct it.

`

Engine should retry with exponential retries and stop if a request cannot be completed. This will ensure all sentences are evaluated instead of assuming NOT_ENTAILMENT
