This PR implements retry logic for scenarios where the LLM returns an empty response.
Previously, an empty response would result in an error and immediate termination of the
cecliexecution. Now, users can enable retries for these cases via a new configuration option.Changes:
--retry-on-emptyargument tocecli/args.py(default:False).EmptyResponseErrorincecli/coders/base_coder.pyto specifically handle empty LLM responses.send_messageincecli/coders/base_coder.pyto catchEmptyResponseErrorand perform retries if--retry-on-emptyis enabled, using the existing exponential backoff strategy.cecli/coders/base_coder.pyto detect empty responses and raiseEmptyResponseError.This ensures better resilience when dealing with flaky LLM providers or local models (like Ollama) that might occasionally time out or return empty content.
Fixes CLI-49
