+//! Exponential backoff builders mirroring Charon's `app/expbackoff` package.
+//!
+//! Charon defines two shared configurations (`app/expbackoff/expbackoff.go`):
+//! `FastConfig` (100ms base, 5s max) for quick retries, and `DefaultConfig`
+//! (1s base, 120s max) for slower loops. Both use a 1.6 multiplier and 0.2
+//! jitter and retry until the surrounding context is cancelled.
+//!
+//! Note on jitter: Charon applies a `±20%` multiplicative jitter, whereas
+//! `backon`'s [`ExponentialBuilder::with_jitter`] adds a randomized delay in
+//! `(0, base)`. This is an approximation, but it matches every existing
+//! Pluto backoff call site, so consolidating here introduces no behavioral
+//! change.
