   Thanks for the questions @kennknowles!
   
   **Who is doing the retrying?**
   Retrying happens inside RRIO, in `Repeater.apply()` — not by the runner. 
`Repeater` catches `UserCodeExecutionException` and calls `e.shouldRepeat()` to 
decide whether to retry. The three subclasses (`UserCodeQuotaException`, 
`UserCodeTimeoutException`, `UserCodeRemoteSystemException`) override 
`shouldRepeat()` to return `true`, while the base class returns `false`.
   
   The bug is that `parseAndThrow` only preserved `UserCodeQuotaException` when 
unwrapping `ExecutionException` from `Future.get()`. The other two retryable 
types were being re-wrapped as base `UserCodeExecutionException`, which made 
`shouldRepeat()` return `false` — silently skipping retries for timeout and 
remote system errors.
   
   **Traversing the full causal chain**
   You're right — that's unnecessarily complex. `Future.get()` adds exactly one 
`ExecutionException` wrapper, so inspecting `e.getCause()` is sufficient. I'll 
simplify `parseAndThrow` to: if the cause is already a 
`UserCodeExecutionException` (or subclass), rethrow it directly; otherwise wrap 
it once. This is simpler and automatically handles any future subclasses.
   
   Pushing the simplified version now.
