 Retry is configured at the queue level in your contract definition. Add `retry` to your queue definition:
 
 ```typescript
 import { defineQueue, defineExchange, defineContract } from "@amqp-contract/contract";
 
-const dlx = defineExchange("orders-dlx", "topic", { durable: true });

-The retry mechanism uses RabbitMQ's native TTL and Dead Letter Exchange pattern, so it doesn't block the consumer during retry delays. See the [Error Handling and Retry](https://btravers.github.io/amqp-contract/guide/worker-usage#error-handling-and-retry) section in the guide for complete details.
