What
When Claude fetches from a bring-your-own-checkout remote and every retry attempt saw no progress and no activity from the remote, it now stops retrying and fails fast so the session can be reassigned, instead of burning the full retry budget.
Details
Only applies where the retry path is enabled for the session.
The failure is tagged in telemetry with a giveup reason so silent remotes can be distinguished from other fetch failures.
Evidence
giveup: "mute"
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
