Reducto Python errors: connection vs status vs rate-limit are different exceptions
Catch RateLimitError separately and back off; do not treat it like a bad request. Handle APIConnectionError as retryable and APIStatusError by status code. Pass file inputs as the documented tuple shape when you need an explicit media type.
Context: Official package docs (PyPI reductoai): documents a distinct exception hierarchy, 400 BadRequestError, 401 AuthenticationError, 404 NotFoundError, 422 UnprocessableEntityError, 429 RateLimitError, 5xx InternalServerError, plus APIConnectionError for network failures versus APIStatusError for HTTP errors. File inputs accept bytes, path-like objects, or filename plus contents plus media type tuples.Maintainer review
