Bug Report: ChatGPT Web agent intermittently fails after tool calls with “Something went wrong while generating
`Steps to Reproduce`
  1. Open ChatGPT Web on Pop!_OS Linux.
  2. Start an agent task using tools/connectors, such as GitHub.
  3. After several tool/app responses, ChatGPT stops with: “Something went wrong while generating the response…”
  4. Click Retry.
  5. Retry appears to restart the whole task instead of resuming the failed tool step.
  6. Refresh the page instead.
  7. After refresh, the pending tool action/allow prompt appears and the workflow can continue.
`Expected Result`

Retry should resume the failed or pending tool step. If tool permission is needed, the allow prompt should appear without requiring a page refresh.

`Actual Result`

Retry restarts the task. Refreshing the page reveals the pending tool action/permission prompt and allows the agent to continue.

`Environment`

Environment: OS: Pop!_OS Linux -- Tools/connectors involved: GitHub connector / agent tool calls -- Browser: Google Chrome 144.0.7559.96 -- Frequency: Intermittent, but recurring during tool-heavy workflows
