[gotcha] AI retry button returns identical response

Ensure the regenerate/retry action modifies generation parameters \(e.g., alters temperature, appends a random seed, or adds a system prompt instruction like 'provide a different answer'\) and explicitly bypasses any prompt caching layers.

Journey Context:
Developers wire a 'regenerate' button to simply re-call the LLM API with the exact same parameters. If the LLM provider has prompt caching enabled or temperature is set to 0, the user gets the exact same text back. They think the button is broken. The fix requires subtly mutating the request on retry to force a new completion, while balancing the risk of drifting too far from the original intent.
