ultrareview: free run consumed when server-side rate-limited (run crashed before producing findings)

What happened
Ran /ultrareview on a PR. The run crashed and returned {"error":"Review crashed before producing findings. See session logs for details."}. Subsequent message in the terminal: API Error: Server is temporarily limiting requests (not your usage limit) · Rate limited.
The crashed run consumed one of my 3 free ultrareview executions — I now have 1 free remaining despite only one successful run having completed.
Expected behavior
A run that crashes due to server-side rate-limiting (not user usage limit) before producing any findings should be refunded — the user did not receive the deliverable.

Environment
- Claude Code: latest (post-2.1.86 ultrareview research preview)
- Plan: Max (\$200)
- OS: Linux (Fedora 43)
Asks
- Refund the consumed free run.
- Consider treating \
error.code == rate_limited\server-side as non-billing for ultrareview (no findings = no charge).
