/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
- Run
/ultrareview <PR#>against a GitHub PR. - Wait for completion.
- 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
