What
When a request to the artifact service fails inside the cloud relay, Claude is now told the outcome is unknown and to re-read before retrying, rather than being told the operation failed. That stops it repeating a write that may already have applied.
Details
- Failures on the relay path are reported as
relay_request_errorinstead ofrequest_error. - Retry-after handling now applies only to a genuine 429 from the artifact service, not to a relay response.
- The read-back and publish calls dropped their per-call host, auth and status-validation options.
- New telemetry for repairing nested HTML:
nested_repair_depth_capandnested_repair_miss.
Evidence
db write outcome unknown (relay request failed) — it may have applied; read back before retrying, read-back relay HTTP
