Description
Currently, an `atLeastOnce` background task will be retried if the Blueboat host process exits during execution, but will NOT be retried in the following circumstances:
- An exception is thrown.
- The **worker** process crashed.
- The 30-second limit is reached.
Supporting retry in these cases requires re-enqueueing the task to Kafka.

Research direction
Start by tracing atLeastOnce background-task execution and the Kafka re-enqueue path. Inspect how exceptions, worker crashes, and the 30-second timeout are handled; done means each of these cases re-enqueues the task for retry.
