Tip: Auto-Retry Now Recovers API Drops Mid-Thinking — Stop Babysitting Long Reasoning Runs

Releasebot·low signal

Claude Code's auto-retry was extended so an API connection drop during the thinking phase automatically retries instead of failing with 'Connection closed while thinking.' Combined with the v2.1.179 mid-stream recovery, long extended-thinking runs and unattended `-p` automations are now meaningfully more resilient to flaky networks — fewer wasted reasoning passes and fewer manual restarts on overnight or CI-driven agent jobs.
