Iii Dead Letter Queues

This handles dead letter queue patterns for the iii framework, similar to what you'd get with SQS DLQ or RabbitMQ dead letter exchanges. Jobs move to the DLQ after exhausting retries with exponential backoff, preserving the original payload, error, and metadata. You can redrive failed jobs via the built-in function or CLI, which resets attempt counters for a fresh retry cycle. The key discipline here is investigating and fixing the root cause before redriving, otherwise you just replay the same failures. Works with Builtin and RabbitMQ adapters. With 17.5K stars on the parent repo and solid audit passes, it's a mature approach to handling queue failures without losing messages.
