Stop automatic requests and release the Copilot gate after two error notices on the current head. Keep required checks and unresolved findings blocking, and explain exhausted retries in the live status.

Treat Copilot's "encountered an error" notice as a failed attempt rather than a completed review, allowing one automatic retry per commit. After a second error notice, stop requests for that commit and release the Copilot gate. Required checks and unresolved Copilot findings still apply.
Retry on the next eligible refresh without requiring a new commit, including for PRs already routed to reviewers. A new commit resets the budget, and the status comment explains when retries stop.
