fix: add null check for regex match to prevent "Cannot read properties of undefined" error

- Added proper null check for match[1] before accessing it in Task.ts line 1835
- Added comprehensive test coverage for 429 retry logic with Gemini error details
- Fixes issue #6096 where undefined match result caused runtime error
