969969`Socket is closed` means the connection carrying a streaming response was closed while the response was still arriving. The most common cause is a corporate proxy on Windows dropping an established tunnel mid-response.

971Depending on how far the response had progressed, Claude Code retries the request, keeps what Claude produced, or ends the turn:
972 
973* If Claude hasn't completed any part of the response yet, including its thinking, Claude Code treats the failure as a dropped connection and [retries the request automatically](#automatic-retries), so the turn continues, even if some text had started streaming.
974* If Claude has finished thinking but hasn't started any text or tool call, Claude Code re-issues the request up to two times in quick succession, then ends the turn with `Connection lost before a response was produced` if the connection keeps dropping at that point. Before v2.1.227, that message read `Connection closed while thinking, before producing a response`.
975* If Claude has completed a block of text or a tool call, or has started one after finishing its thinking, but hasn't finished the response, Claude Code keeps what Claude completed and shows an [incomplete-response notice](#the-response-above-may-be-incomplete). It still runs any tool calls Claude completed and continues the turn from their results.
976* If the socket closes after Claude has finished the response, Claude Code ends the turn normally with the complete response.
971Depending on how far the response had progressed, Claude Code retries the request, keeps what Claude produced, or ends the turn. See [Automatic retries](#automatic-retries).

978973Before v2.1.214, Claude Code didn't retry this failure, and the turn stopped with an error containing `Socket is closed`.
