Story

The June 21 release reworks the mid-stream stall notice to read "Waiting for API response · will retry in …" instead of the alarming "No response from API · Retrying in …," and only after 20 seconds of silence rather than 10. Tiny change, real effect: it stops triggering false-alarm anxiety during long reasoning runs where brief silences are normal. The kind of UX detail that only matters if you live in the tool, which is exactly why it matters.
