+- Deprecated `StreamChatNetworkError.isRequestCancelledError` in favor of `type == StreamChatNetworkErrorType.cancel`.

 🐞 Fixed
 
 - Fixed `StreamChatClient.sync` letting a failure from its final `updateLastSyncAt` write escape to the caller; it is now handled by the method's own error handling, like every other sync failure.

 - Fixed `ChannelClientState.watcherCount` staying stale during a session.
 - Fixed watchers not being removed from `ChannelClientState.watchers` on `user.watching.stop`.
 - Fixed a `StateError` (`Cannot add new events after calling close`) thrown when the client is disposed while a reconnect recovery is still in flight.
-
+- Fixed `StreamWebSocketError.toString()` using a `WebSocketError(...)` prefix instead of the class name; it now also includes `code`, and `StreamChatNetworkError.toString()` now surfaces the transport `type` when known.
+- Fixed `Channel.name`/`image`/`extraData` setters throwing after a *failed* initialization; they now only throw once the channel is successfully initialized.
+- Fixed `Channel.initialized` staying errored after a failed init; it now reflects a subsequent successful (re)initialization.
+- Fixed `Message.deleteMyReaction` dropping an entire reaction group when its summed scores reached zero even though other users' reactions kept the count positive; the group is now retained as long as its count stays above zero.
+- Fixed reaction groups derived from legacy `reaction_counts`/`reaction_scores` payloads being discarded when their score total was zero or negative despite a positive count.

 - Added support for predefined filters for `QueryChannels` on `StreamChatClient` (`StreamChatClient.queryChannels` and `StreamChatClient.queryChannelsWithResult`).

 - Added an `upsert` flag to `ChannelClientState.updateMessage` and `ChannelClientState.updateThreadInfo` (defaults to `true`). Pass `false` to update a message only if it's already loaded in the state, skipping unknown messages instead of adding them.

 ⚠️ Deprecated
 
 - Deprecated `ChatPersistenceClient.getChannelStates` and `ChatPersistenceClient.updateChannelQueries` in favor of the unified `queryChannelStates` / `saveChannelQueries`. The deprecated methods stay overridable so downstream subclasses keep working unchanged.
-- Deprecated `StreamChatNetworkError.isRequestCancelledError` in favor of `type == StreamChatNetworkErrorType.cancel`.
 
 🐞 Fixed
 
 - Fixed a deprecation warning from `equatable` causing CI analysis to fail.
-- Fixed `StreamWebSocketError.toString()` using a `WebSocketError(...)` prefix instead of the class name; it now also includes `code`, and `StreamChatNetworkError.toString()` now surfaces the transport `type` when known.

-- Fixed `Channel.initialized` staying errored after a failed init; it now reflects a subsequent successful (re)initialization.
 - `ComparableField` now folds diacritics/ligatures and ignores case when comparing strings, so `SortOption` on fields like `name` no longer pushes lowercase or non-ASCII names (`jhon`, `Łukasz`, `Øystein`) to the end of client-sorted lists ([#2601](https://github.com/GetStream/stream-chat-flutter/issues/2601)).
 - Fixed `message.updated` and soft `message.deleted` events being incorrectly upserted into `ChannelState.messages` (and thread reply lists) when they targeted a message outside the currently loaded window.
-- Fixed `Message.deleteMyReaction` dropping an entire reaction group when its summed scores reached zero even though other users' reactions kept the count positive; the group is now retained as long as its count stays above zero.

+- Added `StreamChannelState.retry()` to re-run a failed channel initialization, for use as the retry action in `StreamChannel.errorBuilder`.
+- Added `DefaultStreamChannelBuilders`, an inherited widget that supplies default loading and error builders to descendant `StreamChannel`s (resolved via `loadingBuilderOf`/`errorBuilderOf`).
 
 🐞 Fixed
 
 - Fixed `StreamChannelListController` crashing with a null-check error when its local sort ran over a channel disposed mid-query (e.g. a client disconnect/logout racing an in-flight `loadMore`); such channels are now sorted last instead.
+- Fixed `StreamChannel`'s default error state exposing raw error details; it now shows a safe error state (icon, message, and a Try Again button wired to `retry()`) that adapts to the failure type.
