Known breaks in Cline from github.com/cline/cline, with quoted workarounds and fixed-in versions where they exist.
Pulled from public GitHub issues updated in the last 45 days and filtered for always-on problems: install and update breakage, crashes and hangs, gateway/daemon trouble, auth, and headless setups. Ranked by engagement, weighted toward always-on, self-hosting, install/update, crash, auth, MCP and daemon problems (cosmetic desktop-UI issues are down-weighted). Workarounds and "fixed in" versions are quoted only when the issue or its top comments state them. Severity is an automatic estimate from labels, keywords, and engagement, not an official rating.

A remote MCP server that speaks streamable HTTP (or SSE) is replaced under a live Cline session — a restart, a deploy/rollout, a session-TTL sweep. From that moment on, every tool call to that server fails, for the rest of the session…
