- Added `retry.maxDelayMs` to the settings schema and interfaces, with a default cap for provider backoff delays.
- Updated session auto-retry logic to fail fast when a requested wait exceeds the cap without fallback, emitting terminal auto-retry failure state.
- Propagated retry state and failure data into task progress and rendering so children show retry/wait details and reminder prompts stop after terminal errors.
The status-line path segment was selecting theme.icon.scratchFolder for scratch directories regardless of opts.stripWorkPrefix, while the CHANGELOG promised both behaviors honor the option. Icon selection now uses the same opts.stripWorkPrefix !== false gate as the scratch path stripping, so disabling stripWorkPrefix keeps the regular folder icon even when the project directory is inside a scratch root.
- Updated the status-line path segment to detect project directories under OS scratch roots and strip the scratch root when rendering.
- Switched scratch-root paths to use the new icon.scratchFolder glyph and registered that symbol across theme variants.
- Added tests covering scratch-root trimming, nested scratch subpaths, and non-scratch fallback icon behavior.
- Added getOpenAIReasoningModel to wrap the bundled gpt-5-mini model with a non-gpt-5 name in tests.
- Replaced all OpenAI responses test model constructions using gpt-5-mini with the new helper to bypass reasoning-model branching during payload assertions.
- Added loop-mode command handling in interactive mode, including enable/disable toggling, repeated auto-submission scheduling, and Escape-based cancellation.
- Propagated loop mode state to the status line via a renamed `mode` segment that now renders plan or loop status, and updated presets/theme assets for the new loop icon.
- Migrated persisted status-line segment usage from `plan_mode` to `mode` in configuration defaults and normalization so legacy settings continue to load.
- Added symlink and path alias resolution to session directory handling for consistent behavior across aliased home and temp directories.
- Improved status line path display to strip display roots using canonical path resolution, correctly handling symlink-equivalent directory aliases.
- Added support for quoted paths in grep, ast_grep, and find tools to properly handle directory names with spaces.
- Improved ast_grep error messaging when no matches found with parse errors to suggest narrowing path/glob or setting language.
- Extracted path utility functions (resolveEquivalentPath, normalizePathForComparison, pathIsWithin, relativePathWithinRoot) to shared utils package.
- Added comprehensive test coverage for symlink alias resolution in status line path rendering and session directory handling.
