Recommended action: Treat it as a hard stop: inspect the last error, narrow the request/add the right files, then send a new message (which resets the counter).
Option: Treat it as a hard stop: inspect the last error, narrow the request/add the right files, then send a new message (which resets the counter). [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: Aider auto-retries after malformed edits, lint errors or failing --test-cmd
Steps:
1. Read the last lint/test/edit error
2. Reduce scope or /drop unrelated files; consider --edit-format whole or architect mode for edit-format failures
3. Send a follow-up message to continue
Expected: The error no longer appears.
