Unclear Whether Claude Code retries the request after this error is not clear.
What
Claude's replies arrive as a stream of small pieces. If one piece announces the start of a new block of content but contains no actual content, Claude Code now stops with the error "Stream event unreadable" and records the problem. Before, it carried on with the broken block.
Why
If a proxy or gateway between you and the API corrupts a reply, you should get a clear error rather than a confusing crash later.
