Thought for 4s · read payments.ts · plan backoff

✳I’ll wrap post() in exponential backoff, add failure tests and narrow the error type.

✳TodoWrite Create todos

✳Merged the 3 agents’ changes for backoff, tests and types. All 6 payment tests pass, so I’m opening PR #218.

How do I install it?

Install it from npm with npm i -g @maincode-ai/matilda-code, then run matilda in your repo. The installation docs have the full steps.

Will it change my code without asking?

No. It proposes each change and waits for your approval before it makes it.

Do I need Matilda Desktop too?

No. The CLI works without the desktop app and uses the same context and approvals, and if you use both, they share sessions.

Can I use it in my editor?

We’re building extensions for VS Code and JetBrains, and until they ship you can run Matilda Code in your editor’s terminal.
