The context fetch folded a timeout, an HTTP error and a refused key into
one sentence that ended "enter_project() as needed" -- read as optional,
so a session could start with no recent milestones or open tasks and no
way to know what prior work existed. The fetch now names the cause and
the elapsed time, retries once (6s) only where a retry can change the
answer, and the fallback states enter_project as the first step, with
the marker's project id when there is one.
