Catch non-stale transient transport errors in the polling loop.

.disabled only retries stale pooled-connection errors. Other transient errors, such as timeouts or connection loss, escape PluginHTTPClient.data and abort pollTranscription before the next iteration. Catch transient transport errors at this boundary and continue polling. Rethrow cancellation and non-transient errors.

Continue polling after transient transport errors.

pollResult does not catch errors from PluginHTTPClient.data(for:retry: .disabled). With this policy, non-stale transient URLError values can be rethrown, escape pollResult, and terminate REST transcription. Catch only transient transport errors around this request and continue the loop. Rethrow cancellation and non-transient failures.

Keep transient transport retries in pollJob.

PluginHTTPClient with .disabled retries only stale pooled-connection errors. It throws other transient transport errors, and pollJob does not catch them. One such error can therefore abort transcription instead of advancing to the next poll iteration. Catch only transient transport errors around the status request and continue polling. Re-throw cancellation and non-transient errors.
