Fading. No reports and thumbs-up in the last 7 days and 1 the week before, down from 103 a week at the late-September peak. Not fixed, but the vendor replied, Nov 5.

Auto mode classifier gives no verdict, blocking tool calls. Bash and Edit calls fail with "no verdict (error)" or "temporarily unavailable" while read-only tools still work; recovery is intermittent.
