A host can refuse a timeline read for as long as it likes. Codex does this whenever another writer holds the thread: every catch-up fails with "already has an active writer" until the other session lets go. The app retried that on a fixed 1s timer with no ceiling, so an idle window sat there issuing a request and logging a warning every second, indefinitely. The refusal is normal lifecycle; the traffic was the bug. Catch-up and subscription retries now double from 1s to a 30s ceiling, resetting on success, reconnect, delivery-mode change, and visibility change so recovery stays immediate once the condition clears. Backing off alone would leave the user waiting up to 30s with no way in, so both failure surfaces get a retry they can press. Background retries stay silent; a retry the user asked for is a fallible user action and owns its pending state, so "retrying" is a status the sync model publishes rather than a React boolean. The blocking "Failed to load agent" screen was the worse half: its load effect self-gates on the error state, so a refused first resume was terminal until the user navigated away. Its retry resets the state to idle, which re-arms the effect.
Welcome to your Expo app 👋
This is an Expo project created with create-expo-app.
Get started
-
Install dependencies
npm install -
Start the app
npx expo start
In the output, you'll find options to open the app in a
- development build
- Android emulator
- iOS simulator
- Expo Go, a limited sandbox for trying out app development with Expo
You can start developing by editing the files inside the app directory. This project uses file-based routing.
Get a fresh project
When you're ready, run:
npm run reset-project
This command will move the starter code to the app-example directory and create a blank app directory where you can start developing.

Dictation debugging
Set EXPO_PUBLIC_ENABLE_AUDIO_DEBUG=1 before running npx expo start to render the in-app audio debug card. Pair it with the server-side STT_DEBUG_AUDIO_DIR flag so every dictation includes a copyable path to the saved raw audio file.
