Every error code in /errors.json, and on its page as Markdown, now has retryWhen: same_request (send the same request again, after Retry-After when the answer has it), later (only once something outside the request has changed), after_fix (change the request first) or never (don't send it again; read the current state). The values are read from each code's own advice, and the top of /errors.json explains them in Swedish and English. retryable and retry stay as they are.
