Allow zero retries or remove ge=0.

If 0 disables retries, use int with ge=0. PositiveInt rejects max_retries=0 with a greater_than validation error.

Do not accept a shield configuration that always aborts capability assembly.

When shields contains a valid Granite Guardian configuration, _agent_capabilities calls this branch and the unhandled NotImplementedError prevents agent setup. Implement the capability before accepting granite_guardian, or reject this provider during configuration validation until it is supported.
