Cline SDK v0.0.72: durable session state across aborts, MCP startup no longer blocks

Reliability release for the Cline SDK centred on interrupt and restart semantics: prompts queued during a turn survive an abort, session context persists across aborts and hub restarts, and failed queued turns now report run.failed instead of completing silently. A hung or unconfigured MCP server can no longer stall session creation, and LiteLLM traffic moves from the Responses API to Chat Completions.

  • Queued prompts preserved across user aborts and self-aborts; edits made inside the abort window are applied, not dropped
  • Session context durable across aborts and hub restarts — interrupted sessions resume with prior state
  • Failed queued turns reported as run.failed rather than silently completing
  • Hung MCP server no longer blocks session creation; never-configured stdio servers get a 30s initialize budget
  • Remote SSE MCP: 401 raises an OAuth authorization prompt instead of failing; pre-registered OAuth clients supported where dynamic registration is unavailable
  • LiteLLM routed through Chat Completions instead of the Responses API
  • Mid-stream network interruptions before any model output are retried instead of failing the turn
  • Vertex ADC token refresh uses the configured fetch (works behind proxies/custom transports)
  • Checkpoint diffs include files untracked at snapshot time; checkpoints picked up when git is initialized mid-session
  • Plugin settings/contributions centralized in the hub with host-aware snapshots and atomic toggles
  • Scheduled run reports carry headers, schedule metadata, durations, and lifecycle error details
