Docs: clarify whether `retries: 1` means 'do it once' or 'do it twice'

Naïve reading of the docs would suggest retries: 1 means 'do it once, and then retry it once if it failed'.

Is that what it means? Or is it 'do it once and then stop'?

That's what it do, from my experience. I think it's correct and inferable from the name itself (retries), however I agree that it can be said explicitly in docs.
