The retry page's whole point is that httpware surfaces fewer failures to the
caller, but the failed count was rendered in the muted label style, the blip
stops spotlighted the in-flight counters (while the copy said 'compare the ✗
counts'), and the 1.2s blip left httpware recovering only ~5 of ~14 — a weak
contrast.
- ✗ failed is now a prominent stat (bold number, red when >0), wrapped in a
spotlightable element, on all pages
- retry blip stops spotlight the ✗ counts (plain climbing vs httpware ~0)
- tighten the blip to 0.4s so httpware recovers all of it: plain ✗6, httpware ✗0

Follow-up to #109. On the live retry demo the failure count — the whole payoff of the page — wasn't obvious: it used the muted label style, the blip stops spotlighted the in-flight counters (while the copy said "compare the ✗ counts"), and the 1.2s blip let httpware recover only ~5 of ~14 failures.
