fix(e2e): wrap chrome-extension BAPI client with retry handler

[jacekradko]

Summary

• The chrome-extension integration tests create their own clerkClient in helpers.ts without the withRetry wrapper, so 429/502/503/504 errors are not retried
• Wraps the client with withRetry() to match the pattern used in testUtils/index.ts

Test plan

• Chrome-extension integration tests pass in CI
• Verify [Retry] log output appears when rate-limited

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes

  • Reduced flaky failures in Chrome extension tests by adding retry logic around client initialization, improving test reliability and stability.

• Chores

  • Added a changelog placeholder entry to track the fix and release notes.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

A new changeset file .changeset/fix-chrome-extension-retry.md was added. In integration/tests/chrome-extension/helpers.ts, the backendCreateClerkClient(...) call inside createTestUser was wrapped with withRetry(...), introducing retry logic around backend Clerk client creation. The resulting clerkClient is passed unchanged into createUserService(...), and the function still returns the same FakeUser. No exported or public declarations were modified.
