A retried attempt that reuses the same approval fails with an error telling it nothing was created and to ask again.\n\n**Details**\n\n- a bounded cache of already-consumed approvals tracks tool-use IDs and evicts oldest entries past its cap\n- the failure is reported as a `create_replayed` error, so the retry goes back through the normal permission prompt\n- only relevant to launches that took the no-prompt path above\n\n**Evidence**\n\n`this approval was already used by an earlier attempt \u2014 nothing was created now; retry so it is asked again`\n\n- Area: Permissions\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5"}
