# Arbi v2.17: Reply detection that understands a no

> Out of office is not a reply, and neither is a polite decline that you still want counted separately. Sequences now classify what came back instead of only noticing that something did.

- Released: 2026-07-30
- Area: Sequencing
- Canonical: https://neuroscale.ai/releases/2.17

## Changes

- **New**: Replies are classified as interested, declined, referred, or automatic, and each one stops the sequence differently.
- **New**: A decline can write a follow-up date, which puts the candidate back in your queue rather than closing them out.
- **Improved**: Out of office replies no longer count against a step's reply rate in analytics.
- **Fixed**: Threads with more than twenty messages now render the full history in the inbox instead of truncating at the tenth.
