Previously, 429 errors showed a generic "LLM provider error" message after retries were exhausted. This adds a clear, actionable message for both shell and print UIs, consistent with how 401/402/403 are already handled. Closes MoonshotAI#1383

Reported in #1383 — users hitting rate limits see a generic
LLM provider error: ...message, which doesn't clearly explain the cause or suggest what to do. The 429 case was missing from the status-code-specific error handling that already covers 401 (auth), 402 (membership expired), and 403 (quota exceeded).Changes
