Description

Expected Behavior

When a pod fails to pull its image with a "pull QPS exceeded" ErrImagePull error, it might be better to let k8s retry the pull instead of failing. k8s doesn't seem to properly distinguish between permanent and temporary ErrImagePull errors, so I suspect Tilt just fails the job assuming the failure is fatal.

Current Behavior

Failed to pull image "registry.gha-prod.svc.cluster.local:5000/solana-contract:tilt-d0187147de2228a4": pull QPS exceeded

Research direction

Start by tracing how Tilt handles Kubernetes ErrImagePull failures, especially the reported "pull QPS exceeded" case. Verify whether temporary image-pull failures can be retried without treating permanent failures as successful, and confirm the behavior against the Kubernetes 1.21.2+k3s1 context described here.
