Subject: [PATCH 01/12] feat(core): add error classification for retryable vs
 non-retryable failures

Add classifyError() to categorize errors without retrying deterministic
request errors (400, 401, 403, 404, 422). Only retry transport/
provider failures: 429, 408, 409 (transient), 500-599, and network
errors (ECONNRESET, ETIMEDOUT, socket closed, etc.).

Also export isRetryableNetworkError() for use in retry logic.

Subject: [PATCH 02/12] fix(core): remove overly-broad '409' message check in
 isTransientConflict

The message.includes('409') fallback made ALL 409 errors appear
transient, preventing deterministic conflict classification. Only actual
transient indicators (lock/contention/conflict) should trigger it.

Subject: [PATCH 04/12] fix(core): fix retry.test.ts deadlocks with fake timers
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Remove `await` from `expect(promise).rejects.toThrow()` calls that are
followed by `vi.runAllTimersAsync()`. In vitest 3.2.4, awaiting the
assertion promise before advancing fake timers creates a deadlock: the
inner promise can't reject until timers advance, but timers can't advance
while the microtask queue is blocked by the await.

Also add explicit `initialDelayMs: 10` to tests using default options
(7 attempts × 1500ms default = 76s of fake time, triggering the 5s
test timeout), and reduce abort-signal test delay from 10s to 100ms.

Subject: [PATCH 06/12] fix(core): address PR #3798 review round 2

- Remove 'conflict' from isTransientConflict keywords (too broad: matches
  standard HTTP 409 reason phrase "Conflict"). Keep only 'lock' and 'contention'.
- Fix 409 test to use proper Error instance instead of plain object
  (getErrorMessage returns "[object Object]" for plain objects, masking the bug).
- Scope isTransientCapacityError to 429/529 only. 408 and network errors are
  no longer persistent-retryable since they can indicate permanent config issues
  (wrong endpoint, firewall) that would hang unattended jobs for hours.
- Update isTransientCapacityError tests to match new scope.
- Document accepted retryable categories in geminiChat.ts shouldRetryOnError.

Subject: [PATCH 07/12] fix(core): prevent duplicate MCP processes from
 concurrent discovery
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Adds an in-flight discovery guard to McpClientManager.discoverMcpToolsForServer()
that prevents concurrent re-discovery of the same server. Without this guard,
overlapping calls (e.g. from health-check reconnect + incremental discovery)
could spawn duplicate MCP child processes because the disconnect→connect
sequence is not atomic.

Changes:
- Add inFlightDiscoveries Set to track per-server discovery in progress
- Early-return if discovery is already in flight for the same server
- Clean up failed clients in catch block so subsequent retries can proceed
- Stop health check timer during re-discovery disconnect path
- Clear inFlightDiscoveries in stop() for completeness
- Add 2 tests: concurrent discovery deduplication + in-flight cleanup

Closes #3817

Subject: [PATCH 08/12] fix(core): address PR #3819 review comments
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

retry.test.ts:
- Remove erroneous await before expect().rejects.toThrow() in ~15 fake-timer
  test locations that caused deadlocks (await blocked before runAllTimersAsync)
- Update 408/409/network-error tests to use explicit classifyError-based
  shouldRetryOnError instead of relying on defaultShouldRetry (see below)

retry.ts:
- Narrow defaultShouldRetry to only retry 429/5xx, matching original behavior.
  Previously it delegated to classifyError which also retried 408, transient
  409, and network errors — silently expanding retry behavior for all callers
  using the default (baseLlmClient.generateJson, client.generateContent).
  Callers that want broader retry (geminiChat) now use classifyError directly
  via a custom shouldRetryOnError.

mcp-client-manager.ts:
- Fix TOCTOU race: move inFlightDiscoveries.add() to immediately after the
  has() guard and before await disconnect(), preventing concurrent calls from
  slipping through during the async gap.
- Wrap new McpClient() + connect/discover in try/finally so discoveryDone()
  runs even if the constructor throws, preventing permanent entry leaks.
- Clean inFlightDiscoveries in disconnectServer() to prevent stale entries
  from blocking future discoveries.
- Guard reconnectServer() against running when a discovery is already in
  flight, preventing false "Successfully reconnected" logs.

geminiChat.ts:
- Update comment to clarify isSchemaDepthError/isInvalidArgumentError are
  independent safety nets not covered by classifyError.
- Remove redundant if (status === 400) return false (classifyError handles it).
- Remove unused getErrorStatus import.

+
+● Excellent. Now I have a complete picture. Let me analyze the situation:
+
+Current state: The existing .prforge/state.json shows phase VALIDATE with all
+previous issues marked as "fixed". The user provided a new review link
+(4215940090) — but looking at the data, the latest review from wenshao is
+4215939438 (the second review). The ID 4215940090 doesn't appear in the API
+results — it may be a review that was superseded or the user may have meant
+the latest review.
+
+Looking at the second review (4215939438, submitted at 05:51:06Z), there are
+new critical issues that the current code on HEAD does NOT address:
+
+1. CRIT: AbortError from timeout/user cancel is indistinguishable from real
+   network errors (line 243/212)
+2. CRIT: Empty array from endpoint produces blank output — silent failure
+   (line 216/200)
+3. SUGG: clearTimeout redundancy in try+finally (line 291/260)
+4. SUGG: response.text() in error path — the try/catch was added but
+   console.error suggestion not applied (line 296/265)
+5. SUGG: response.json() on success path still has no try-catch (line
+   null/278)
+
+Let me read the current source to understand what's actually on HEAD:
+
+Read 1 file (ctrl+o to expand)
+
+● Now I have a clear picture. The current code on HEAD already addresses many
+issues from the first review, but the second review (4215939438) raised new
+issues. Let me check which ones are still open:
+
+1. ✅ AbortError handling (line 232-241) — Already fixed in current code
+2. ✅ Empty array check (line 218-224) — Already fixed in current code
+3. ⚠️ clearTimeout redundancy (line 297 + 358) — clearTimeout is called in
+   both try (line 297) and finally (line 358). The suggestion is to remove the
+   one in the try block.
+4. ✅ response.text() try/catch (line 300-305) — Already fixed
+5. ✅ response.json() try/catch on success path (line 309-316) — Already fixed
+
+So the only remaining item from the second review is the redundant
+clearTimeout. Let me also check the test file:
+
+Read 1 file (ctrl+o to expand)
+
+● Good. Now I have a complete understanding. Let me set up the .prforge/
+directory and update the state, then proceed with the remaining fix.
+
+Analysis of remaining issues from the second review (4215939438):
+
+1. ✅ AbortError handling — already done
+2. ✅ Empty array check — already done
+3. 🔧 SUGG: Redundant clearTimeout — Line 297 has clearTimeout(timeoutId) in
+   the try block, and line 358 has it in finally. The one in the try block is
+   redundant.
+4. ✅ response.text() try/catch — already done
+5. ✅ response.json() try/catch — already done
+
+Now let me set up the artifacts and make the fix:

Subject: [PATCH 09/12] fix(core): remove await before expect().rejects.toThrow
 in fake-timer tests

Remove await from const assertionPromise = expect(promise).rejects.toThrow()
in ~15 locations where the assertion is followed by vi.runAllTimersAsync().
The await blocks the microtask queue before timers can advance, causing
deadlocks in vitest 3.2.4.

Add eslint-disable-next-line vitest/valid-expect to prevent the pre-commit
hook from re-adding the await (the rule doesn't account for this fake-timer
pattern where await must come after runAllTimersAsync).

All 105 retry tests pass.

Subject: [PATCH 10/12] fix(core): address review comments for
 mcp-client-manager race condition

- removeServer() now cleans inFlightDiscoveries and isReconnecting
- reconnectServer() no longer has racy in-flight check; verifies
  server is actually connected before reporting success
- Add test for cleanup state after server removal

Subject: [PATCH 12/12] feat(cli): add Anthropic model listing support (Option
 A)

Implement Option A from PR #3799 suggestion to support Anthropic
model listing via the official /v1/models endpoint.

Changes:
- Add fetchAnthropicModels() in commands/auth/anthropic.ts
  - Uses x-api-key + anthropic-version headers per API docs
  - Returns same { data: [...] } shape as OpenAI-compatible
- Update manageModels.ts to support 'anthropic' source
- Add Anthropic tab to ManageModelsDialog.tsx
- Fix type-safety by removing dangerous casts
