giles db4809b01e host/engine: visible error/retry state for failed fetches + retry on network failure ...

Two engine fixes in web/orchestration.sx (rebuilt into the WASM bytecode) plus the
blog CSS that surfaces them.

1. Retry on NETWORK failure, not just HTTP errors. The fetch error/catch path (the
   real offline / DNS / connection-refused case) previously dispatched
   sx:requestError and stopped — only a non-ok HTTP response with an empty body
   ever reached handle-retry. So "no connection" never recovered. Now the catch
   path calls handle-retry too, so an sx-retry element actually self-heals when the
   connection returns (the cap bounds the backoff interval, not the attempt count —
   it retries forever).

2. Visible failure state. On any failed/aborted fetch the engine adds an `.sx-error`
   class to the element (cleared, with the retry backoff reset, on the next
   success). Without it a stuck retry loop is invisible — the picker just sits
   "Loading…". The blog shell ships CSS so the relate picker shows "Connection
   problem — retrying…" / "offline, retrying…" on .sx-error.

Platform-wide: any sx-get/sx-post element benefits, not just the picker.

Tests: relate-picker.spec.js gains a 6th case — abort relate-options, assert
.sx-error appears, un-abort, assert it clears and the picker repopulates (proving
the retry loop is live). 6/6 browser + 272/272 conformance. WASM web stack rebuilt
(orchestration.sxbc + the static hs-* copies refreshed by the same build).
