/ultrareview consumed a free credit despite crashing before producing findings

What happened

Ran /ultrareview <PR#> against a PR in one of my repos. The CLI reported:

Free ultrareview 2 of 3. Ultrareview launched (~5–10 min, runs in the cloud).

After ~5–10 minutes the task notification arrived with:

{"error":"Review crashed before producing findings. See session logs for details."}

The run crashed server-side before generating any findings, but the free credit counter still decremented ("2 of 3" → only 1 free review remaining).

Expected

A run that crashes before producing findings should not consume a free credit.

Repro

  1. Run /ultrareview <PR#> against a GitHub PR.
  2. Wait for completion.
  3. If the result is Review crashed before producing findings, observe that the free credit counter still decremented.

Environment

  • Date: 2026-05-01
  • Platform: macOS (Darwin 25.3.0), zsh
  • Model: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context)

I have the session URL and repo/PR identifiers — happy to share them privately with whoever picks this up.

Ask

Refund the consumed free credit and/or surface server-side crash details so users can tell whether the failure is recoverable
