 ## [Unreleased]
 
+## [0.12.5] - 2026-08-03

+### Fixed
+- **The cable took up to 30 seconds to reconnect.** The retry was a flat 30s
+  interval, and because a disconnect tears the consumer down, Action Cable's own
+  much faster reconnection monitor was discarded with it. Any transient blip or
+  dev-server restart therefore cost half a minute with no cable at all: no
+  presence, no collaboration, no file-change push. Replaced with a jittered
+  backoff from 1s to a 8s ceiling, reset on a successful connect. Measured
+  against a real server restart: **2.8 seconds** from the server answering again
+  to the cable being back, where the flat interval could take the full 30.
+- **Collaboration broadcasts flooded the development log.** The Action Cable log
+  filter matched `Mbeditor::` and `mbeditor_editor`, but a broadcast line names
+  only the stream — `Broadcasting to mbeditor_collab:…` — so every keystroke and
+  cursor move was logged with the base64 CRDT payload inlined.
+- **The browser console filled with failed requests when the server became
+  unreachable.** A dropped VPN, a closed lid or a stopped server left the file
+  tree polling every 10s, git status every 5s and the git line tint every 10s,
+  all failing forever — and the browser logs every failed request itself, which
+  no amount of JavaScript can suppress. The only fix is to stop making them.
+
+  Background polls are now skipped before the request is issued once two
+  consecutive *network-level* failures have been seen (an HTTP error does not
+  count — a 500 proves the server is there), and a single probe on a 1s→30s
+  backoff decides when it is back. Requests you initiate are never blocked; they
+  fail fast with a real error rather than hanging until the 30s timeout.
+  Measured with the server down: two failed requests, then silence, instead of
+  an unbounded stream.
