Extract magic numbers to named constants and improve documentation

- Add RETRY_DELAY_BASE_MS, FS_SYNC_DELAY_MS, MAX_RETRIES constants
- Improve sleepSync documentation explaining why busy-wait is acceptable
- Add better error messages for partial schema generation failures
- Use constants consistently throughout retry logic
