Add proper retry configuration for jobs

Configure Sidekiq retries and dead-lettering; use backoff for transient failures and idempotent jobs.

Why this matters

Improves resilience and prevents infinite failure loops.

Side-by-side examples engineers can pattern-match during review.

Avoid

class SyncJob
  include Sidekiq::Worker
end

Prefer

class SyncJob
  include Sidekiq::Worker
  sidekiq_options retry: 5, dead: true
end

Bad

no retry strategy

Good

sidekiq_options retry: 5

Idempotent Right to Erasure across all stores
Provide a single idempotency-keyed erasure workflow that scrubs PII in primary DB, caches, search indices, and object storage; emit an audit event with erasure_request_id. (GDPR Art. 17)

Add error handling for external service calls
Wrap HTTP/SDK calls with timeouts and catch transport/errors; log context and map to domain failures.

Add try-catch blocks around external API calls
Surround network and IPC calls with try/catch for IOException and timeouts; map to domain errors and log context.
