fix: retryFailedStep plugin works in debug/verbose mode

- Remove debugMode check that prevented retries when --verbose or --debug flags are used
- Add regression test to ensure retries work correctly in debug mode
- Resolves issue where plugin was disabled in debug mode without clear reason

Fixes #4384
