feat(FN-1462): fix compact-and-retry path to not mark task as failed on successful recovery

- Add return statement after successful context compaction and resume
- When compact-and-resume succeeds (promptWithFallback completes without error),
  executor now returns early instead of falling through to failure path
- This allows the finally block to clean up without marking the task as failed
- Add logging for recovery success and failure paths
- Add regression tests for context limit error detection
- Pattern is conservative: requires both 'context window' and 'exceeds' present
