Description
Headless embedders of @cursor/sdk set local.enableAgentRetries: true (the default for this posture) so stalled transport recovers automatically. The SDK does not export reconnect or retry state: there is no public onConnectionStateChange, no stream message, and no status value for RETRYING.
Internal machinery already exists (stall detector, onConnectionStateChange with reconnecting / connected, transport-retry counters). It is not on the public TypeScript surface.
Without that signal, an embedder's idle timeout cannot distinguish model silence from an in-progress SDK reconnect. Idle kills then look like a dead model in post-mortems even when the SDK was retrying.
Please export the existing internal stall detector / connection-state hook (for example onConnectionStateChange and/or a stream status for retrying) so embedders can keep transport retries enabled and still observe them.

Research direction
Start by tracing the internal stall detector, the existing onConnectionStateChange hook, and the transport-retry counters in the TypeScript SDK. Define and expose a public reconnect/retry signal, then verify that an embedder can distinguish model silence from an in-progress retry while local.enableAgentRetries remains enabled.
