What

The retry loop for remote MCP servers that failed transiently now snapshots the signed-in account before backing off and abandons the queued retries if it changed, because those rows belong to the previous account. This applies on every retry, with no flag.

Details
  • The loop only re-attempts servers whose remembered connect result was actually discarded, and skips the round trip entirely when none were.
  • The reconnect path captures the account before its retry timer and returns early if it no longer matches.
  • The connector-connect path likewise discards results superseded by a newer attempt.
Evidence

[MCP] Retry: identity changed during backoff, stopping (these rows belong to the previous account)

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