fix(test_audit_citations): tolerate transient network tracebacks
`test_cli_runs_without_crash_on_empty_tree` failed on the 9d16720 GitHub Actions run with: TimeoutError: The read operation timed out The docstring already says exit codes 0/1/2 are acceptable to cover "soft failure (rate limit, network) — acceptable", because the auditor resolves roots relative to its REPO_ROOT constant (not cwd), so even an empty `tmp_path` tree triggers live arXiv / Crossref calls against the real repo's src/ and docs/. But the test's blanket `assert "Traceback" not in result.stderr` contradicted that intent — Python's default handler prints a traceback for any uncaught network exception, which the auditor doesn't wrap in its top-level try/except. Fix: only fail on a traceback whose tail names something OTHER than a known transient network failure (TimeoutError, URLError, HTTP 429 / 503 / 504, ConnectionReset, socket.timeout, ssl.SSLError). A real crash (KeyError, AttributeError, etc.) still fails the test. This is a test-only change. The auditor itself is unchanged. Local: 32/32 auditor tests pass (including the previously-flaky one).
