What
When something fails for a passing reason, Claude Code can try again. Before, it waited the same fixed time before each retry. Now it follows a list of waits, one per attempt, and the length of that list sets how many retries happen. A default list is used unless a part of Claude Code supplies its own.
Why
This changes how long Claude Code waits between retries and how many times it tries after a temporary failure.
How sure we are
Something disagreesSomething we can check disagrees with this entry, or the writer said they could not settle it.
The writer flagged doubtThe default wait list and which parts of Claude Code use their own are not known.
