What
The spinner is the animated status line shown while Claude Code works, which also shows when a request is being retried. When a retry status arrives in a broken form, it is now reported once for each distinct broken value rather than repeatedly. If the reporting itself fails, that failure is ignored.
Why
A broken retry status cannot flood the reports or crash the spinner.
