 ### Fixed
 
+- Fixed auto-retry transient error detection to treat `Network connection lost.` as retryable, so dropped provider connections retry instead of terminating the agent ([#3317](https://github.com/badlogic/pi-mono/issues/3317))
 - Fixed compact interactive extension startup summaries to disambiguate package extensions and repeated local `index.ts` entries by using package-aware labels and the minimal parent path needed to make local entries unique ([#3308](https://github.com/badlogic/pi-mono/issues/3308))
 - Fixed git package dependency installation to use production installs (`npm install --omit=dev`) during both install and update flows, so extension runtime dependencies must come from `dependencies` and not `devDependencies` ([#3009](https://github.com/badlogic/pi-mono/issues/3009))
 - Fixed `tool_result` / `afterToolCall` extension handling for error results by forwarding `details` and `isError` overrides through `AgentSession` instead of dropping them when `isError` was already true ([#3051](https://github.com/badlogic/pi-mono/issues/3051))
