Claude Code v2.1.236

Artifact tool stops retrying after three identical rejections

You'll notice
Useful3 Signal1
Artifacts

The Artifact tool stops looping after three identical failures and reports the problem to you.

What

When the Artifact tool fails the same way on the same target three times, the error text now tells Claude to stop retrying and report the problem to you instead of looping.

Details
  • Failures are fingerprinted by action plus file_path, url and thread_id; schema validation errors count too.
  • On the third identical rejection the returned error gains a stop-and-tell-the-user prefix.
  • Logs tengu_artifact_reject_breaker, which was also added to the telemetry event allowlist.
Evidence

tengu_artifact_reject_breaker

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