v2.1.185

Summary

Claude Code v2.1.185 is a minimal patch: the stream-stall hint message is reworded from “No response from API · Retrying in …” to “Waiting for API response · will retry in …”, and the trigger delay doubles from 10s to 20s. No functional changes.

Implications

• Agent layer: The 20s threshold increase suggests the team is tuning for real-world API latency distributions that exceed the prior 10s assumption — relevant for long-context and multi-agent workloads where backend response times routinely spike.
• Floor/trust: Rewording from “No response” to “Waiting” shifts the framing from failure to expectation — a small signal that the tool is normalizing longer inference waits as part of standard operation.
