+ * This class is designed to provide a fallback mechanism. If an initial inference
+ * request fails (e.g., due to server unavailability or a model-specific error),
+ * this action will be triggered. It reads an alternative server URL from the
+ * ParameterSet and instructs the TritonClient to reconnect to this new server
+ * for the retry attempt. This action is designed for one-time use per inference
+ * call; after the retry attempt, it disables itself until the next `start()` call.
