Hey, thanks for the report. I can see the repeated “Connection lost. Attempting to reconnect.” messages in the screenshot. Right now the CLI doesn’t handle network switches very well, like changing Wi‑Fi.

This is a known gap in the CLI retry and resiliency logic. The team is aware and it’s planned, but there’s no ETA yet. Your report helps us prioritize it.

As a temporary workaround, if you hit this state, stop the CLI process and restart it after the network switch is finished. Not ideal, but it should unblock you.

Let me know if you run into anything else.
