Patch Changes

• 8600d25: Add fast-loop detection with automatic cache recovery to ShapeStream. When the client detects rapid requests stuck at the same offset (indicating stale client-side caches or proxy/CDN misconfiguration), it clears the affected shape's cached state and resets the stream to fetch from scratch. If the loop persists, exponential backoff is applied before eventually throwing a diagnostic error.
• 1e1123b: Fixed isControlMessage type guard crashing on messages without a control header (e.g. EventMessages or malformed responses). The function previously used a negation check (!isChangeMessage()) which misclassified any non-change message as a ControlMessage, causing TypeError: Cannot read property 'control' of undefined in Shape.process_fn. Now uses a positive check for 'control' in message.headers, consistent with how isChangeMessage checks for 'key' in message.
• e172d4b: Increase default retry backoff parameters to reduce retry storms when a proxy fails, aligning with industry-standard values (gRPC, AWS). initialDelay 100ms → 1s, multiplier 1.3 → 2, maxDelay 60s → 32s. Reaches cap in 5 retries instead of ~25.
