Add a new state machine that allows operators to retry processing of all uninstallable packages with a single button click. The workflow reads the uninstallable packages report, triggers reprocessing for each package, and updates the inventory report. Changes: - Add RetryUninstallablePackages state machine - Add retry button to backend dashboard - Update operator runbook with troubleshooting guide - Wire inventory canary into orchestration

Adds a one-click workflow for operators to retry processing of all uninstallable packages. When packages fail to install during documentation generation, they're tracked in a report but previously required manual intervention for each package.
What Changed
New State Machine:
RetryUninstallablePackages- Reads the uninstallable packages report from S3, triggers the existingReprocessDocumentationPerPackageworkflow for each entry, handles failures gracefully, and runs an inventory update after completion.Dashboard Integration - Added "Retry Uninstallable Packages" button to the backend dashboard overview and as a primary action button on the uninstallable packages report widget.
Operator Documentation - New troubleshooting section covering investigation steps for missing package documentation, including uninstallable packages, corrupt assemblies, and transliteration errors. Documents the retry workflow and expected behavior.
Why This Matters
Before: Operators had to manually trigger reprocessing for each uninstallable package individually, which was time-consuming and error-prone when dealing with multiple packages.
After: Single button click retries all uninstallable packages automatically, with clear documentation about expected behavior and potential alarms.
Expected Behavior
When triggered, the workflow may cause temporary alarms (
Orchestration/Resource/ExecutionsFailedandOrchestration/DLQ/NotEmpty) as some packages may still fail on retry. The inventory report updates incrementally via the scheduled canary, so changes may take a few hours to fully reflect in the dashboard.By submitting this pull request, I confirm that my contribution is made under the terms of the Apache-2.0 license
