What
A new error class marks a resume that will never succeed, so the retry machinery gives up instead of looping.
Details
- AgentResumePermanentlyRefusedError sits alongside AgentResumeTransientError.
- The observer restarts fresh on it and logs the error name.
- The wake router drops queued events for the affected agent.
- The resume subscriber no longer swallows the error silently.

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
