The 'away summary' recap now stops retrying after repeated failures and avoids overlapping generations
Claude Code can generate a summary recap of what happened while you were away (after the terminal window was blurred/unfocused). This generator now tracks how many times in a row it has failed during a given turn and stops trying again once it fails three times. It also skips starting a new generation if one is already in progress. The way this background work is saved and tracked internally was also reworked.
This prevents the away-summary feature from repeatedly failing and retrying in a loop, or from running duplicate generations at once, making it more predictable when it fails and quieter when it does.
