fix: address second-round review comments

- Replace httpx.Retry references with correct httpx API usage across all files
  (httpx has no built-in Retry class; use HTTPTransport/Limits instead)
- Fix _check_summary to check first 100 words (not 100 characters)
- Fix template to only show → improvement arrow for non-5 scores
- Clarify hook documentation: hook echoes reminder, does not run evaluator
- Add return type annotation to main()
- Make required parameter keyword-only in _read_file_or_text

 ## Agent Output
 
 ### Summary
-Added `httpx.Retry` transport to the shared `ApiClient` class. All HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) now retry on 429, 5xx, and connection errors with exponential backoff. 42 tests pass. Single PR ready to merge.

 ### Files Changed
-- `src/api_client.py` — Added `RetryTransport` wrapper with `httpx.Retry( total=3, backoff_factor=1.0, status_forcelist=[429, 500, 502, 503, 504] )`
+- `src/api_client.py` — Added `RetryTransport` wrapper with `httpx.HTTPTransport(retries=3)` and exponential backoff configured via `httpx.Limits`
 - `tests/test_api_client.py` — Added 8 tests: happy path, retry on 429, retry on 503, max retries exhausted, timeout, backoff timing assertion, idempotent GET retry, no-retry on 4xx (except 429)
