+- Resolve every agent runtime directory as one physical child of `~/.elydora`; reject separators, traversal segments, cross-platform reserved names, symbolic-link directories, and linked identity configs before writes or recursive removal. Validate stored directory identity before changing host CLI configuration, and require an explicit agent ID when discovery is ambiguous.
 - Interpret `max_retries` as retries after the initial attempt and reject negative or non-integer values.
 - Automatically retry RFC-idempotent methods; retry non-idempotent methods only when the transport proves the request was never sent.
 - Honor valid `Retry-After` delay-seconds and HTTP-date values, and release retryable responses before sleeping.
