feat(requests): show why a request failed

[fallenbagel]

Description

A failed request gives no indication of why it failed. Whether Sonarr was unreachable, the series could not be identified, or its seasons are numbered differently than Sonarr expects, the request looks identical and offers the same retry which for some of those causes cannot possibly succeed.

Seerr now shows the recorded reason on the request's status, offers a search for a different listing when a show's seasons are numbered differently than TheTVDB, and disables the retry for that case since replaying it runs the identical check and fails identically.

How Has This Been Tested?

• Tested manually in browser against a failed request, checking the reason appears on hover for each of the recorded causes, that the search action only appears for a season-numbering mismatch, and that the retry is greyed out with an explanation in that case and untouched in every other.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Request components now show localized failure reasons in tooltips. Failed requests disable retry when the failure cannot be resolved by retrying and expose a listing search action for season-numbering mismatches.

Changes

Request failure guidance

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Failure reason formatting and messages src/utils/requestFailureHelpers.ts, src/i18n/globalMessages.ts, src/i18n/locale/en.json	Failure reasons map to localized messages with Radarr or Sonarr service names. Helpers determine retry and alternate-listing availability.
Failure reason display src/components/RequestBlock/index.tsx, src/components/RequestCard/index.tsx, src/components/RequestList/RequestItem/index.tsx	Failed and declined badges now show formatted failure reasons in tooltips.
Retry and listing actions src/components/RequestCard/index.tsx, src/components/RequestList/RequestItem/index.tsx	Retry controls disable when retry cannot resolve the failure. A listing search button appears for season-numbering mismatches.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 4a143

Failed requests now provide explanatory guidance, but keyboard users cannot reach that guidance on status badges or unavailable retry controls. This accessibility regression should be fixed before merge.
