The v0.4.0-era CI failure was a runner network blip — `napi build` invokes cargo,
whose fetch of index.crates.io hit "Could not resolve host: index.crates.io" and
failed the Node-on-macOS job, forcing a manual re-run. The earlier flake-hardening
(setup-node/setup-python + rust-cache retries) only covered toolchain download and
cache restore, not the registry fetches inside the actual build/publish steps.
Set tool-level network retries as workflow env so every cargo/napi/maturin/
wasm-pack/npm/pip invocation in every job inherits them — including the nested
cargo calls inside napi/maturin/wasm-pack:
- CARGO_NET_RETRY=10 (default 3): cargo classes DNS-resolve / connect / timeout
errors as spurious and retries with backoff; 10 attempts ride out a transient
blip instead of failing the job.
- CARGO_NET_GIT_FETCH_WITH_CLI=true: more robust git-dep fetches.
- npm_config_fetch_retries=5 / maxtimeout=120s: npm ci/install registry retries.
- PIP_RETRIES=5 / PIP_DEFAULT_TIMEOUT=120: pip install resilience.
Applied to ci.yml, release.yml and bench.yml (the workflows that build). No more
manual re-runs for transient registry flakes.
