 ### Fixed
 
+- Fixed interrupted reasoning blocks being incorrectly stripped when they contained a valid signature
 - Fixed interrupted thinking being lost in LLM provider requests after user interrupts by properly stripping trailing reasoning blocks from assistant turns while preserving them in the UI and session history.
 - Fixed the live todo HUD going stale during long tool-use loops by introducing a mid-run reconciliation reminder that prompts the agent to update incomplete items.
 - Fixed resumed OpenAI and OpenAI-Codex sessions losing encrypted reasoning and native assistant turns during rehydration.
