DisclaimerUnofficial, and not affiliated with Anthropic. Nearly all of this is read straight out of what ships: npm bundles, captured prompts, published docs. Anthropic's own notes go in verbatim, marked as theirs. The rest is my reading, and every entry carries the strings behind it. If one looks wrong, vote it down and say why.

Distinct error type for retry-worthy API failures

Under the hood
Useful1 Signal1
API Client

Retries can now match a dedicated retryable error type separate from timeouts.

What

The bundled API client gained an error class with the default message Retryable error. and an optional underlying cause, giving retries a type to match on separately from timeouts.

Evidence

Retryable error.

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
