feat(llm): native Anthropic Messages API wire protocol "anthropic" - #47
Conversation
… query path Two gaps showed up on a CPU embed backend (Qwen3-Embedding-8B, the documented ~23 tok/s) with a ~10k-token block (issue damienmoon/ctx#1): 1. backfillOneEmbedding was called only at the top of runDreamLoop, so with dream.enabled=false (the default) or Dream switched off at runtime nothing embedded pending blocks in the background. runEmbedBackfillLoop is now its own goroutine, started regardless of Dream: a successful pick loops at once, an empty pick waits embed_backfill.interval (default 15 s), 0 = arm off, polled for a hot re-enable. The dream loop keeps its inline call; the tx-wrapped FOR UPDATE SKIP LOCKED pick makes two pickers safe (Welle-49). 2. backfillPending had a count cap (sync_cap) but no time budget: one slow block consumed the caller's whole deadline (120 s on the CLI client), the question's own embed was never admitted and the query answered 500, and the failure was memoized as class wire although the backend was only slow for this caller. embed_backfill.sync_budget (seconds, default 30, 0 = unbounded) bounds the whole pre-search loop per request; each wire call runs under what is left. A block that overruns it, or dies with the request context, is memoized with the new class caller_timeout: next_attempt_at = now(), the query path never picks it again (EmbedFailureQueryPathExcludedPredicate), the background arm picks it at once, and a later wire failure there reclassifies it as wire with the ordinary backoff. Also: the "german detected" log line is now "non-english heuristic matched" (the heuristic fires on Swedish, Danish and Finnish too; the translation was right, the label was not). Tests (Rot/Grün through the production functions): - handler: TestBackfillPending_SyncBudget_Integration — SyncBudget=0 holds the request for the backend's full delay (red); SyncBudget=300ms returns inside the budget with the parent context intact, the backend sees the cancel, the memo is caller_timeout and due now, a second backfillPending makes no wire call, the background predicate still sees the block; a request cancel mid-embed classifies caller_timeout, not wire. - events: TestEmbedBackfillArm_RunsWithoutDream_Integration — the arm embeds a pending block with DreamEnabled=false, picks a caller_timeout block at once, and Interval=0 turns it off. - compose and description gates: TestComposeDeclaresEveryRegistryKey and TestKeyDescriptionsComplete pass with the two new keys. Run on 2026-10-09 in golang:1.27-alpine with CTX_TEST_PG_IMAGE=localhost/ ctx-db:38fdb74f: go build ./..., go vet -tags=integration, go test -short for config/store/handler/events (one pre-existing failure, TestRebuildViaWorker_ TimeoutKillsHangingChild, fails identically on the unpatched checkout in this container), and the backfill integration suites of handler, events and store all green.

The comments and the operations paragraph said "issue damienmoon/ctx#1", which on GitHub reads as a reference into a repository that does not exist there. The issue lives on the author's Forgejo, a read-only mirror of the GitHub fork: https://force-push.me/damienmoon/ctx/issues/1. Comments only; no code changes.

embed_backfill.sync_budget and embed_backfill.interval are two new typDuration keys. TestValidateRejectsNegativeOnEveryDurationKey pins the count as a drift guard (45 before this branch) and failed in CI. Both keys are covered by the generic V17 sign walk, which the test exercises per key; the pin moves to 47 in the commit that explains why, as the comment above it asks.

…he pick Rebase onto root 4d14549, which gave backfillOneEmbedding an owned []string parameter: the peek and the FOR UPDATE SKIP LOCKED pick now carry the iterated tenant's scope window as a conjunct, because the router resolves its embed chain with that tenant's backend visibility (newRouter(cfg, bt.scope) -> Pool.Chain -> VisibleTo). Without the window a block of tenant U is embedded on a tenant-private backend of tenant T whenever T's turn comes up. The dream loop on root already passes bt.owned; the dedicated arm still called the old three-argument signature and the branch did not compile. backfillArmOnce now takes the whole backgroundTenant and hands bt.owned to backfillOneEmbedding, exactly like runDreamLoop. owned == nil (the default tenant before its entitlement rows exist) stays the unbounded legacy pick, so a single-tenant install is unchanged. Test: TestEmbedBackfillArm_RunsWithoutDream_Integration gains arm_stays_inside_the_iterated_tenants_scope_window (fixture as in TestBackfillTenantScope_Integration: global backend plus a private backend of T, one pending block in scope U). While the arm iterates only T, the block stays pending and neither backend sees a wire call; once U joins the rotation, the block is embedded over the global backend. Red with the arm passing nil instead of bt.owned: the T-only phase embedded U's block ("pending = 0 while only tenant T is iterated"). Review finding M3 (rebase).

…path
With embed_backfill.sync_budget=0 the inline embed ran under the bare
request context, and a client that went away mid-embed was still
classified caller_timeout. The query path excluded that class for
good, so with embed_backfill.interval=0 and Dream off the block was
never embedded again: nobody picked it up. The PR table row
"sync_budget=0, interval=0 -> pre-PR behavior" did not hold.
Two conditions, one per key:
- caller_timeout is classified only while a budget is active. It is a
statement about the budget ("handed to the arm"); with sync_budget=0
a request cancel keeps ClassifyEmbedError's wire class on the backoff
curve, exactly as before the PR.
- backfillPending uses EmbedFailureQueryPathExcludedPredicate only while
the arm runs (embed_backfill.interval > 0, global-only, so the request
snapshot reads what the arm runs on). With the arm off it keeps the
plain predicate and retries a caller_timeout block (due at once)
within its budget, so the hand-off never leaves a block to nobody.
Both keys at 0 are now the pre-PR query path byte for byte: no budget,
wire class on cancel, plain predicate.
Tests (TestBackfillPending_SyncBudget_Integration):
- budget_zero_request_cancel_stays_wire: red before this commit with
memo class "caller_timeout" due at once, green with "wire" on the
backoff curve.
- arm_off_query_path_repicks_a_caller_timeout_block: red with
backfilled = 0, green with the block embedded in one wire call.
- budget_cuts_the_slow_block_and_hands_it_to_the_arm now sets
Interval = 15 s, since the hand-off it asserts needs a running arm.
Review finding M1.

backfillOneEmbedding peeks the oldest pending block. When no embed backend was trusted for that block's floor-adjusted sensitivity, it returned (false, nil) without a memo, and the next pick peeked the same block again. Every younger block waited behind it for good, including a caller_timeout block, which after the query path's hand-off only the background arm still takes, and the scheduler logged one WARN per pick forever. With the arm on by default, a credentials-default block on a host whose only embed backend is no-credentials was enough to stop all background embedding. Two ways out were on the table: - Memoize the block (class sensitivity_ineligible on the finite backoff curve). Rejected: that class is an infinity class in RecordEmbedFailure and in the cutover's memo copy, so the regular backfill would carry two meanings for one class. A block the audit lowers from the credentials default would wait out its backoff, up to backoff_cap (24 h by default). And a large unservable backlog would rewrite its memo rows on every backoff period. - Narrow the pick to what the chain can serve. Chosen. On an empty chain for the peeked block, embeddableConjunct probes the weaker levels strictest-first. Chain eligibility is downward-closed in rank, because the only sensitivity gate in Pool.Chain is Trust.Allows, a rank threshold. The first level that resolves is the ceiling. The pick then gains "sensitivity = ANY(levels up to the ceiling)" and "scope <> ALL(scopes whose floor lifts above it)", and peeks again in the same call. Nothing is written, so the memo-free contract of store.EmbedFailureSensitivityIneligible holds as designed: eligibility is recomputed from the live chain on every pick, a trust change or a lowered sensitivity takes effect on the next one, and a pool outage (not even public resolves) stays the memo-free no-op it always was, still with its WARN. The extra chain probes run only when the oldest block is unservable; the normal path is unchanged. This changes the shared function, so the dream loop's inline backfill gets the same skip. That is intended: the dream loop had the same head-of-line hazard. Tests (TestBackfillTrustHeadOfLine_Integration, new): - arm_reaches_a_caller_timeout_block_past_an_ineligible_oldest: oldest block credentials, the only backend no-credentials, a younger personal block with a caller_timeout memo. The arm embeds the younger block, and the credentials block stays pending with no memo row. Red before: still pending after 5 s. - one_call_embeds_past_the_ineligible_head: one backfillOneEmbedding call (the dream loop's unit) reaches the younger block; the follow-up call is an empty pick, still memo-free. Red before: backfilled=false. - scope_floor_lifts_a_block_out_of_reach: an internal block in a scope floored at credentials no longer blocks a plain internal block. Red before: backfilled=false. - pool_outage_stays_memo_free: the only embed backend disabled, so nothing is picked or memoized. Green before and after; it pins the design constraint.

After an oversize memo (pre-wire estimate or HTTP 400 exceed_context_size) backfillOneEmbedding reported "nothing backfilled", and the dedicated arm waited a full embed_backfill.interval before the next pick. The memo had already moved the block out of the pick and said nothing about the backend, so the wait bought nothing: 1000 oversize blocks ahead of an embeddable one cost about 4 h at the 15 s default. The pick body is now backfillStep and returns a backfillOutcome: idle (nothing picked, the pick released, or no chain), embedded, parked (block-specific oversize memo committed), or failed (wire-class memo committed). The arm loops at once on embedded and parked, and waits the interval on idle and failed. A wire memo keeps the wait on purpose: the backend is suspect, so it is probed once per interval instead of the backlog being walked into wire memos against it. That is the same rule Pfad A follows when it breaks after a wire failure. backfillOneEmbedding stays as a thin wrapper (true iff embedded), so the dream loop and the existing pick tests are unchanged. The dream loop keeps its pacing: after a memo it falls through to its dream cycle, as before. Tests (TestEmbedBackfillArm_Pacing_Integration, Interval = 1 h so any interval wait outlasts the test): - parked_blocks_let_the_arm_go_on_at_once: three pre-check oversize blocks and one wire-400 oversize block ahead of an embeddable one. The young block is embedded within seconds and four infinity memos are written. Red before: "young block still pending after 5 s". - wire_memo_keeps_the_interval_wait: a backend answering 500 sees one embed call in 1.5 s with two blocks pending. Green before and after; it pins the pacing choice. Review finding m3. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
… one poll embed_backfill.interval is a hot key, but the arm's idle wait was a single time.After(interval) taken when the wait began. Lowering an hour-long interval to 15 s left the arm asleep for the rest of the hour. Only the off state (interval = 0) was polled. The idle wait now runs in slices of at most backfillArmPoll (15 s) and re-reads the key between slices, through the iterated tenant's snapshot like the loop head. The key is global-only, so every tenant sees the same value. The wait ends once now - start reaches the current interval, so lowering it shortens the running wait and raising it lengthens it. A switch to 0 ends the wait and the loop head takes over with its off-poll. backfillArmPoll becomes a var for the dreamYieldWait reason, so the test can shorten it. Test: TestEmbedBackfillArm_IntervalHotReload_Integration. The arm idles on a 1 h interval, then the store is replaced with interval = 100 ms (Validate-clean generation, poll 50 ms) and a block is seeded. Red before: "pending = 1 3 s after lowering the interval from 1 h to 100 ms". Green: embedded within the poll. Review finding (hot reload of interval).

The arm tests start runEmbedBackfillLoop directly. Deleting `go s.runEmbedBackfillLoop(ctx)` from Run would leave all of them green, and a deployment with dream.enabled=false would be back at "nothing embeds in the background", the original issue. TestEmbedBackfillArm_WiredIntoRun_Integration boots the whole Run with DreamEnabled=false over a real test database (DSN for the NOTIFY listener, the embed backend as a context_backends row because the boot backlog reloads the pool from the database, interval also set in the env so both config paths converge). It asserts the end result: the pending block gets its embedding. Nothing else in Run embeds pending blocks: the dream loop is off, and the re-embed migration arm is inert without an active migration. So the block is reachable only through the arm's goroutine. Red: with the Run line commented out, "pending = 1 30 s after Run with DreamEnabled=false". Green: embedded within the first pick (about 4 s including the boot). Review finding m4. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
docs/operations.md: - The backfill-memo paragraph claimed "ClearEmbedding does NOT currently clear the block's failure memo". Wrong since W04-3: ClearEmbeddingTx, behind ClearEmbedding (manage-update, MCP update) and behind UpsertBlock's real-content-change path, deletes the block's backfill memo (migration_id IS NULL) in the same transaction that nulls its vectors. A content edit that shrinks an oversize-parked block makes it pickable on the next cycle. - The arm paragraph now states the hardened contract: per-tenant scope window, pacing (embedded or parked: at once; empty pick or wire memo: interval), the 15 s slices that apply a hot interval change, the memo-free skip past blocks no eligible embed backend can serve, and the independent opt-outs (sync_budget=0 keeps wire on a request cancel; interval=0 keeps caller_timeout blocks in the query path's pick; both at 0 is the pre-arm behavior). It also names the mixed case sync_budget > 0, interval = 0, Dream off: a block that never fits the budget is cut by every query and stays unembedded until the arm or Dream is switched on. - Remaining risk, named: one arm embed of a large block can hold a CPU embed backend for minutes, and an interactive embed on the same backend waits behind it (the dispatch layer overtakes waiting background acquires, not running prefills, unless the target opted into preempt_background). Recommendation: a dream-embed backend, to which the scheduler's embed chain switches as soon as any row carries that role, while the query path stays on embed. Code comments and key descriptions: - Run: the "Backfill stays single-threaded" comment predates the arm. Pending embeddings now have the arm plus each dream worker's inline pick, kept on distinct blocks by FOR UPDATE SKIP LOCKED. - config.go SyncBudget/Interval and descriptions.go: the same pacing and opt-out contract in one line each. Review findings M1, M2, m3, M4 (docs), hot-reload, and the stale ClearEmbedding claim. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The embed-backfill arm, the query-path sync budget and the caller_timeout hand-off, plus the hardening that ships with them. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…ation 155 A fourth wire protocol, "anthropic", for the native Anthropic Messages API (POST /v1/messages). This commit adds the constant and the row shape the wire needs; the wire itself follows in go/internal/llm. Validation (422 on create and update, protocol-bound so openai/ollama rows keep their freedoms): api_key_ref required (the key travels as x-api-key), locality external, num_ctx > 0 (no window discovery on this wire — synthesis would fail closed on promptguard.ErrUndeclaredWindow), provider_class generic, no embed/dream-embed/rerank roles (the Messages API has no such endpoints; embed.go would silently dispatch them onto the Ollama path), effort in extra_body or model_map params limited to low|medium|high|xhigh|max, and the /v1 root guard extended (the wire appends /v1/messages itself). Migration 155 widens the CHECK on context_backends.protocol. The baseline declared it inline and unnamed, so the DO block resolves the name from pg_constraint by table and definition (the pattern 113 and 114 already use) before re-adding it as context_backends_protocol_check. Manifest: the schema contract records column types, indexes, functions, triggers, rules and hypertables — no CHECK clauses — so a regeneration after 155 changes only generated_against.migration_max (155) and migration_count (43). Those two fields are bumped by hand here because the generator needs Docker (testcontainers), which the authoring seat does not have; the integration job's contract check verifies the manifest against the live chain. Tests: TestValidateAnthropicHappyPath, TestValidateAnthropicRules (one mutation per rule, plus the valid effort set and the protocol-boundedness check). docs/architecture.md names the protocol.

chatWithFormat gains a third leg: ProtocolAnthropic dispatches to
chatAnthropic (anthropic.go), POST {base_url}/v1/messages with x-api-key
and anthropic-version headers (core headers set last, after
extra_headers, as setChatHeaders does). The request carries the system
prompt as a top-level text block with cache_control ephemeral, the user
prompt as the single message, max_tokens from NumPredict (16000 when the
caller sets none — the field is required on this wire), and
output_config.effort resolved from the role's model_map params
(Options.Extra) over the row's extra_body over the explicit default
medium. No sampling parameter is ever marshalled: the Claude 5 models
answer 400 to temperature/top_p/top_k, and the OpenAI-compatible layer ctx
used until now needed a stripping sidecar for exactly that. The think
toggle is ignored (thinking cannot be disabled on Opus 5.5; effort is the
depth control), logprobs are never requested (the decide primitive falls
back through its existing ErrNoLogprobs memo), and ChatJSON is a
documented no-op (output_config.format needs a JSON schema ctx does not
have; the pipelines' parsers stay the validator, the CTX_DREAM_JSON_MODE=off
contract). Other extra_body keys merge top-level, row over params.
Response: text blocks joined, thinking blocks skipped; PromptTokens is the
TOTAL prompt (input_tokens + cache_read + cache_creation — Anthropic's
input_tokens is the uncached remainder) so llmlog's prompt_tokens stays
comparable across wires; the two cache counters travel in new
ChatResponse fields and reach llmlog metadata through
ApplyProviderTelemetry (cache_read_input_tokens /
cache_creation_input_tokens, written only when non-zero so other wires'
rows stay byte-identical); the message id lands in provider_request_id;
cost stays NULL. stop_reason is mapped onto the vocabulary the consumers
read (end_turn→stop, max_tokens→length, tool_use→tool_calls,
refusal→content_filter, unknown raw, absent ""), because dream's cap
detection compares against "length" and the chat harness against
"tool_calls" — a raw pass-through would hide both. Non-2xx answers wrap
httpx.StatusError as on every wire (429 → RateLimit with Retry-After,
529 overloaded → Gateway failover, 401 → Auth, 400 → BadRequest, 500 →
ServerFault) with the provider's error type folded into the message.
Tests (httptest fakes, no live key): request shape and headers, effort
precedence, extra_body merge, JSON no-op, max_tokens fallback, empty
system omitted, response decode incl. cache counters and telemetry,
stop-reason table, error classification; anthropic rows in the wire-path
and finish-reason tables; the MW6 dispatch invariant gains the seventh
wire site (llm/anthropic.go pinned, Σ acquires == Σ wire contacts).

ChatStreamBackend is the new protocol dispatch of the streaming path: it
takes the Backend (ChatStream took host/key/model loosely and never read
b.Protocol) and routes ProtocolAnthropic to chatStreamAnthropic
(anthropic_stream.go), everything else to ChatStream as before — ollama
rows included, which always streamed over /v1/chat/completions. The chat
harness (chat/engine.go runStream) calls it; ChatStream stays exported as
the openai implementation its tests drive.
The anthropic leg feeds the same StreamEvent/StreamResult contract: a
dedicated SSE parser keys on the data frame's own "type" (message_start →
prompt + cache counters; content_block_start tool_use → pending call and
the ToolCallName event; text_delta → ContentDelta; input_json_delta →
arguments fragments, assembled into the object form ToolCall carries;
message_delta → mapped stop reason and output_tokens; message_stop →
done; error → *StreamError with the provider's error type; ping,
thinking_delta and signature_delta ignored). Lenient ending as on the
openai parser: EOF after message_delta is a complete turn, EOF before it
is a hard error.
Message mapping: system rows lift into the cached top-level system block,
an assistant row with tool calls becomes [text?, tool_use…] (unparseable
arguments replay as {} — the executor already answered them ok:false), a
tool row becomes a user turn with a tool_result block, and consecutive
same-role turns fold into one message (the API requires alternation; a
parallel-call turn yields several tool rows). ToolDef becomes
{name, description, input_schema}; no tool_choice (a 400 on Claude Opus
5.5; auto is what the openai wire sends too).
StreamResult gains the cache counters and the message id; recordLLM
writes them into the web-chat llmlog row (metadata.cache_read_input_tokens
/ cache_creation_input_tokens / provider_request_id) through the shared
ApplyCacheTelemetry.
Tests: three hand-written fixtures from the Messages API event reference
(content with thinking + ping, two tool calls with fragmented
partial_json and an empty-input call, mid-stream overloaded_error);
lenient and hard endings; 529 → ClassGateway via errors.As; callback
abort; the full tool round-trip request shape (headers, cached system,
folded tool results, input_schema, effort, forbidden keys absent); the
dispatch across openai/ollama/anthropic rows; message edge cases. The
MW6 dispatch invariant drives the eighth wire site (llm/anthropic_stream.go
pinned, Σ acquires == Σ wire contacts holds at 8/8 and 10/10).

The operator surfaces of the new wire protocol.
backend-test: probeBackendURL branches on the protocol before the
provider class — an anthropic row probes GET {base_url}/v1/models with
x-api-key + anthropic-version (no Bearer header); the generic branch
would have hit the bare root with a Bearer header, which the API answers
404 (reported as unreachable) or 401. The 1-token chat probe runs through
llm.Chat as before and so takes the anthropic wire automatically.
ctx backends seed: the chat leg accepts protocol anthropic and is
validated on the spec, before any secret is sealed — the embed leg
rejects it (the Messages API serves no embeddings), a keyless leg and a
leg without num_ctx (no window discovery on this wire) fail with the
reason. The same rules the server enforces as 422s, one layer earlier.
ctx init: the protocol prompt names anthropic; choosing it turns the
single-host wizard into a two-host one — it asks the chat model's
context window (default 100000), a separate embedding host and its
protocol (ollama default), and goes straight to the no-echo key prompt
instead of the "does the host need a key?" detour.
Web UI: 'anthropic' in the PROTOCOLS enum of the backend dialog.
Tests: seed error table (anthropic on embed / keyless / no num_ctx) and
the mixed-protocol happy path; the wizard flow with the scripted ask
(window default, separate embed host, key sealed once, not echoed, not
attached to the embed row); the handler probe against an httptest fake
(path, headers, base_url/auth ok).
Docs: operations.md (Backends — the two-host SeedSpec example and the
spec-level rules; Models & hardware; the CTX_DREAM_JSON_MODE row's
anthropic clause; the Migration 155 section with the downgrade note),
README's engine-agnostic sentence.

chatOptions builds the stream call's Options by hand (the harness owns NumPredict and the think toggle, so it never runs applyModelParams) and copied only temperature and top_p from the chat role's params. The anthropic wire resolves output_config.effort from Options.Extra["effort"] first — the slot applyModelParams fills on the non-stream path — so a row's model_map.chat.params.effort was honoured by synthesis and dream but silently ignored by web chat, which sent extra_body.effort or the default medium instead. docs/api.md promised the params-over-extra_body precedence for both. Found by the adversarial review; the existing tests injected Options.Extra by hand and never went through chatOptions. chatOptions now lifts params.effort into Options.Extra. Test: TestChatOptionsCarriesModelMapEffort (and the nil slot without the param). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…the tail Follow-ups from the three-way review of the anthropic wire against the claude-api reference, the tests and the docs. Each one is a request the Messages API would have answered 400 to, or a cache write paid for nothing. Thinking blocks ride along. The Claude 5 models think on every answer and require the FINAL assistant turn of a tool loop to start with its thinking block (empty text under the default display, the signature carries it). The parser now re-assembles thinking (thinking_delta + signature_delta, sealed on content_block_stop) and redacted_thinking blocks into StreamResult.ProviderBlocks; the harness puts them on the assistant ChatMsg it appends for the next iteration (ChatMsg.ProviderBlocks, json:"-" so the OpenAI wire never sees it, not persisted — later turns replay without them, which the API accepts for non-final turns), and anthropicMessages emits them first in the assistant turn. Without this the second iteration of every tool-using turn was a 400. Orphaned tool_use is repaired. A turn interrupted between the model's tool call and the tool's result leaves an assistant tool_use without a tool_result in the persisted history, and the API rejects that on every later turn of the session. anthropicMessages now answers every unanswered tool_use with a synthetic is_error tool_result before the next user text (and at the end of the history). Tool calls without ids — an openai-wire row earlier in the session; llama.cpp streams calls without one — get synthetic ids, matched in order to the tool rows that follow. Prompt cache actually hits. Every pipeline ends its system prompt with promptguard.Rule(nonce), fresh per call; one cached block carrying it would be written on every call and read never (cache_creation > 0, cache_read == 0, a pure 1.25x surcharge). anthropicSystem splits the rule into a second, unmarked block, so the stable prefix is the breakpoint. The stream path additionally sends the top-level automatic cache_control, so the growing history is read from cache across iterations and turns. Smaller: message_delta usage copies each input counter only when it is itself present, so a delta carrying input_tokens alone cannot zero the cache counters; a nameless tool_use block (proxy artefact) is dropped instead of dispatched as an empty call; StreamError exposes its provider error type and backends.Classify maps the anthropic types inside a mid-stream error event onto the classes the equivalent status codes get (overloaded_error → gateway failover, rate_limit_error → rate limit, authentication_error → auth, invalid_request_error → bad request, api_error → stop) — OpenRouter's numeric codes keep the stop default; handleFrame split into per-event methods (cyclop); the package doc names the model floor (effort is always sent) and why raw net/http over the Go SDK. Tests: thinking/redacted blocks carried and placed first (fixture now opens with the thinking block Opus 5.5 always sends), orphan and empty-id repair, per-field usage, nameless tool_use, top-level cache_control on the stream path and its absence on the non-stream path, the promptguard split (byte-identical prefix across nonces), StreamError classification.

…mbed key
ctx init, anthropic branch: a non-numeric context window ("100k") no
longer falls back to 100000 silently — the step aborts with the reason
before any secret is sealed or any row written (a typo'd window would
have seeded a tenth of the prompt budget the operator meant). The
separately asked embedding host gets the same "does it need an API key?"
question the single-host flow has, so a keyed openai embedding service
can be seeded next to the Anthropic chat row.
probeBackendURL: the comment claimed the chat probe never runs after a
401 on /v1/models; it does (the row counts as reachable) and 401s the
same way, billing nothing — the comment now says so.
Tests: TestInitBackendsStepAnthropicRejectsBadWindow; the wizard flow
test answers the new embed-key question.

…hropic.com Skipped under -short and without CTX_ANTHROPIC_SMOKE_KEY, so CI never spends tokens. By hand it proves what the httptest fakes cannot: the request shape is accepted by the real endpoint, the prompt cache hits on the second call (stable prefix above 512 tokens, fresh promptguard nonce per call), the thinking block replays through a streamed tool round trip (and what the API says about the same round trip without it), effort low and high are accepted, the 1-token backend-test probe's behaviour on a thinking model, and a bad key classifying as auth. Every probe logs the usage it saw (tokens, cache counters, message id). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Integration-tagged: the full migration chain on the prod-parity image, then the constraint context_backends_protocol_check exists by name, admits 'anthropic' next to openai/ollama/rerank, is the only CHECK on the table that mentions the column (the DO block's catalog lookup stays unambiguous), an anthropic row inserts, and an unknown protocol fails with SQLSTATE 23514 on that named constraint. Ran locally against testcontainers (colima) — PASS in 2.2 s; the schema-manifest generator run on the same image reproduced the hand-bumped manifest.json byte for byte.

…n observed 400 The adversarial review of the last three commits caught an overstatement: docs/api.md, the anthropic_stream.go comments and a test comment said the API "requires" the final assistant turn of a tool loop to start with its thinking block. The claude-api reference asks that a turn whose tool_use still awaits its result KEEP its thinking block and rejects an altered one; live on 2026-10-11 (claude-opus-5-5) a short tool turn came back with no thinking block at all — even with thinking.display summarized and effort high — and the round trip was accepted. The replay mechanism stays (it honours the reference's rule whenever a block is produced, and the fixtures cover that path); the wording now says exactly that. The live smoke test reports when the replay path was not exercised instead of logging an "accepted without the block" line that compared two identical requests, asks for visible reasoning on the tool turn, and its header says that the integration job (which runs without -short) relies on the absent key alone. The Migration 155 integration test also pins that the column's DEFAULT 'openai' survives the constraint swap. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…ay commit
"accepted either way" said two variants were sent when the live run sent
one (no block was produced); the stale header line said thinking deltas
are ignored while the parser accumulates them into the replay block; the
live test's stripped-block log no longer calls a rejection "expected"
(the reference only asks to keep the block). In the live test the second
and the stripped third round-trip call now send the same effort ("high")
as the first — an effort change invalidates the messages cache by itself
and would mask the prefix question — and the second call's NumPredict
rises 1024 → 2048 to match the first, headroom for the high-effort turn.

…ice none The chat harness's closing call (finalCall, after the iteration cap or the tool budget) and every iteration on a row below full trust sent no tools array, while the history still carried tool_use / tool_result blocks and, inside a turn, the previous iteration's thinking block (ProviderBlocks). On the Messages API a replayed thinking block is accepted only while the system prompt, the tools and the earlier messages it was produced under are unchanged; accounts created on or after 2026-08-31 get a 400 otherwise (https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/api/errors#thinking-block-no-longer-matches-the-conversation). Dropping the tools array on the closing call therefore broke exactly the request that has to land. - Full-trust anthropic row, closing call: the same tools array the loop sent plus tool_choice {"type":"none"} (Options.ToolChoiceNone). "none" is accepted on Claude Opus 5.5 / Sonnet 5.5 (https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/api/errors#forced-tool-use-not-supported) and tool_choice is outside the checked prefix (https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/build-with-claude/preserved-thinking). - Anthropic request without tool definitions (row below full trust, tools switched off): ctx's tool definitions still never reach such a row; the tool history is rendered as text for that request and no thinking block is sent (removing all of them keeps the request valid, same reference). - openai/ollama wire unchanged: the closing call still sends no tools array (E4), pinned by H13a, now with toolsEnabled=true. Tests: final_call_anthropic_test.go (fake upstream, body inspected: tools byte-identical to a loop iteration, tool_choice none, thinking replayed; below full trust: no tools / tool_choice / tool or thinking blocks, history as text, alternation kept), TestAnthropicStreamToolChoiceNone, TestAnthropicMessagesWithoutToolsRendersText.

…level max_tokens on the anthropic wire was the pipeline's NumPredict — sized for the visible answer (synthesis 500, temporal 300, topiclabel 128, translate 100). Claude Opus 5.5 always thinks and thinking tokens count against max_tokens, so a short budget could end a call at max_tokens with no text (https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/build-with-claude/thinking-troubleshooting, "The response stops with stop_reason max_tokens": "Raise max_tokens to leave room for both thinking and text"). max_tokens is a ceiling, billing follows the tokens generated, so a generous reserve costs nothing by itself. - anthropicMaxTokens(opts, effort) = NumPredict (or the 16000 fallback) + reserve(effort): low 4096, medium 8192, high 16384, xhigh 32768, max 65536, capped at the 128K output ceiling of the Claude 5 models. Same helper on the non-stream and the stream path. - Options.ExactMaxTokens keeps a call at NumPredict verbatim: set by the new llm.ProbeOptions() (the backend-test 1-token probe, handler chatProbe, and the live smoke's probe shape) and by DecideOptions() (decide reads logprobs, which this wire never returns — it only has to stay cheap). - An answer that still ends at the output limit with no text and no tool call returns ErrOutputLimitNoText (max_tokens, effort and output tokens in the message) instead of an empty answer. Chosen at the wire because every pipeline funnels through it and none treats "" + length as an error today (dream's cap-hit retry only runs on a parse failure, the query synthesis would return an empty synthesis). It classifies as the unclassified stop (no failover, no cooldown) and lands in the chain's WARN line and the llmlog row's error. A truncated answer WITH text stays a FinishReason=length response; the probe keeps its empty max_tokens answer as success. Tests: TestAnthropicMaxTokensThinkingReserve, TestAnthropicMaxTokensWithoutTextIsAnError, TestAnthropicStreamMaxTokensWithoutTextIsAnError, TestChatProbeAnthropicKeepsOneToken (red before the probe switched to ProbeOptions: max_tokens=8193 and the empty answer rejected).

…nnot take
validateAnthropic checked only `effort`. Both carriers merge verbatim into
the Messages API body — extra_body top-level, model_map params through
applyModelParams' default branch — so a key that body cannot take was a 400
on every call instead of a 422 at write time, the exact pattern the effort
check already follows ("a typo never reaches the provider as a 400").
Rejected on an anthropic row (422, create and update):
- extra_body: temperature / top_p / top_k (400 on the Claude 5 models,
removed on every model by API version 2026-10-21,
https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/api/versioning);
- both carriers: OpenAI-compatible / llama.cpp / OpenRouter / Ollama dialect
fields (chat_template_kwargs, response_format, reasoning, seed,
frequency_penalty, presence_penalty, logit_bias, stop, format, …) and the
fields the wire builds itself (model, messages, system, stream, tools,
tool_choice);
- output_config that is not an object or carries effort (the effort has
its own key and precedence).
Stays allowed: model_map params that applyModelParams routes into dedicated
Options fields this wire never marshals (temperature, top_p, top_k, min_p,
repeat_penalty, presence_penalty, num_predict, max_tokens, think) — rejecting
them would only break shared model_map habits for no wire effect; and the
extra_body hatch for Messages API fields the wire does not model
(thinking.display, stop_sequences, metadata, a numeric max_tokens override).
Rejecting at write time rather than filtering on the wire matches the
existing validation and keeps a misconfigured row visible instead of
silently half-applied.
buildAnthropicBody now merges an output_config object one level deep into
the wire's own output_config (params first, row last, resolved effort over
both); the flat merge replaced it and dropped output_config.effort.

anthropicMessages tested `m.Content != ""` before building a text block. An assistant turn whose content is only whitespace — typical when an earlier turn of the same web-chat session was served by an openai-wire row that streamed a bare newline ahead of its tool call — became a text block of whitespace, which the Messages API rejects (the reference states minLength 1 for a text block; whitespace-only text is rejected in practice according to error reports, not verified against the live API here). blankText (strings.TrimSpace == "") now guards every place that builds a text block on this wire: system rows, user and assistant turns, the tool history rendered as text (anthropicTextMessages), the system prompt itself and its promptguard split (a blank stable prefix yields the rule block alone instead of a blank cached block). A blank tool_result content is omitted (content is optional on a tool_result). Non-blank text is still sent verbatim, surrounding whitespace included. Test: TestAnthropicMessagesDropWhitespaceText (both history renderings, the system prompt and its split; 10 red assertions before). Review finding 4 (PR #47 hardening).

…utral wording - anthropic.go: the version comment said 2023-06-01 is "the only GA value"; https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/api/versioning lists 2026-10-21 as well. The pin stays 2023-06-01, now with the reason: the wire sends none of what 2026-10-21 removes (document blocks in assistant turns, citations in user text, temperature/top_p/top_k), so the request shape is the same under both, 2023-06-01 is what the wire was verified against live, and a move belongs to the migration guide with the live smoke re-run. - The constant is exported (llm.AnthropicVersion) and SetAnthropicHeaders with it: backend-test's GET /v1/models probe hard-coded "2023-06-01" and ignored the row's extra_headers. It now sends the wire's header set — extra_headers first, version pin and x-api-key on top — so the probe checks what the wire will send. TestBackendTestAnthropicProbe pins it (red before: the row's X-Title never reached the probe). - Contributor's installation name replaced by neutral wording in docs/api.md and anthropic.go. - protocol_anthropic_integration_test.go: "prod-parity PostgreSQL" was only true with CTX_TEST_PG_IMAGE set; the default testdb image is timescale/timescaledb-ha:pg18.

TestAnthropicLiveEffortAndProbe only logged an HTTP error from the backend-test probe shape and passed. backend-test reports a row as reachable only when that call succeeds, so a rejected probe (a 4xx on max_tokens 1, say) is exactly the regression the smoke exists to catch. Any error from the probe is now a t.Errorf with the class backend-test would report. Env-gated, so CI never runs it. Verified without the real API against a local fake upstream via CTX_ANTHROPIC_SMOKE_HOST: a fake answering the probe with 400 passed before and fails now; a fake answering it like Claude Opus 5.5 (empty text, stop_reason max_tokens) passes.

The stream parser kept the reasoning blocks of an answer in a separate list and anthropicMessages replayed them FIRST, then the joined text, then the tool_use blocks. That is the API's order only for [thinking, text, tool_use...]. On Claude Opus 5.5 text between tool calls comes back as thinking blocks, so a multi-call turn interleaves thinking with its calls — and the reference rejects thinking blocks in the latest assistant message that were "edited, reordered, filtered out, or reconstructed" (https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/api/errors#thinking-blocks-cannot-be-modified). - The parser records every content block in stream order (text per block, sealed thinking / redacted_thinking, named tool_use) and, for an answer that carried a reasoning block, returns the whole turn as ProviderBlocks (contentInOrder; blank text blocks left out). - anthropicMessages replays such a list verbatim as the assistant turn; the tool_use ids feed the orphan bookkeeping as before. A list holding reasoning blocks only is still placed ahead of the reconstructed text and calls. Not done — persisting the blocks with the assistant row (chat messages do have a metadata JSON column, so no schema change would be needed): a replayed thinking block is accepted only while the system prompt, the tools and every earlier message are unchanged, and the next turn's history is neither — the system prompt carries the date, buildHistory condenses and drops old turns past its budget. Persisted blocks would become 400s on accounts enforced on the prefix check. Follow-up once the history is append-only (or with the thinking-binding-controls beta's drop_block). The cache comment that promised hits "across each turn of the session" is corrected to what holds: within one turn's tool loop; across turns only up to the first difference, and the 5-minute TTL usually lapses between human turns. docs/api.md says the same. Tests: TestAnthropicStreamReplaysContentInAPIOrder (red before: thinking hoisted ahead of the text and between-call thinking moved before both calls), TestAnthropicMessagesReasoningOnlyProviderBlocksLeadTheTurn; the two replay tests now pin the whole-turn ProviderBlocks.

Map timeout_error to the same class as HTTP 504.
The comment states that mid-stream error types classify like their HTTP status. The Messages API also defines timeout_error, which corresponds to HTTP 504. Over HTTP, a 504 classifies as ClassGateway and the chain fails over. Inside an HTTP-200 stream, timeout_error matches no case here. It falls through to the ClassServerFault default and stops the chain.
This difference matters when the error event arrives before the first delta. message_start emits no StreamEvent, so started in engine.runStream stays false. A ClassGateway error could therefore still fail over to the next backend.

Builds on #46 (
fix/embed-backfill-budget): the first three commits here are that PR's; the rest are this one. A deploy of this branch carries both.Summary
ctx learns a third wire protocol,
anthropic: the native Anthropic Messages API (POST {base_url}/v1/messages,x-api-key+anthropic-version). Until now a hosted-Claude install had to reach Anthropic through its OpenAI-compatible layer with theopenaiprotocol, which rejects every sampling parameter on the Claude 5 models (ctx always sendstemperature), and — as observed on my install — dropsresponse_formatsilently and offers neither prompt caching nor effort control, so a stripping sidecar sat in front of it. With this PR the chat-class roles (synthesis, translate, dream, digest, chat) talk toapi.anthropic.comdirectly; the embed/rerank roles stay on a local backend, since the Messages API has no such endpoints.What the wire does:
thinkingfield, notool_choice— the request carriesmodel,max_tokens(from the pipeline'snum_predict), the system prompt as a cached top-level block (cache_control: ephemeral), the messages, andoutput_config.effort.model_mapparams.effort> rowextra_body.effort>medium(the Claude Opus 5.5 default), validated tolow|medium|high|xhigh|max. The chat harness carriesparams.efforttoo (it builds its options by hand and initially dropped it — caught in review).promptguardnonce rule, so that rule goes into a second, uncached block and the stable prefix is the breakpoint; the web-chat stream path adds the top-level automaticcache_controlfor the growing history.cache_read_input_tokens/cache_creation_input_tokensland incontext_llm_log.metadata;prompt_tokensis the total prompt (Anthropic'sinput_tokensis the uncached remainder only).ChatStreamBackend, the new protocol dispatch of the stream path): the Messages API SSE events map onto the existingStreamEvent/StreamResultcontract;ToolDef→input_schema, assistant tool calls →tool_useblocks, tool rows →tool_resultblocks folded into one user turn. Three repairs keep a session alive: the answer'sthinkingblocks (when the model emits any) ride along in memory to the next iteration of the same turn and are replayed verbatim (the reference asks to keep them while atool_useawaits its result), an unansweredtool_usefrom an interrupted turn gets a syntheticis_errorresult, and id-less tool calls from an openai-wire row earlier in the session get synthetic ids.end_turn→stop,max_tokens→length,tool_use→tool_calls,refusal→content_filter); errors classify like every other wire (429 → rate-limit cooldown withRetry-After, 529 → gateway failover, 401 → auth, 400 → bad request), the same for the error types inside a mid-streamerrorevent.output_config.formatneeds a JSON schema ctx does not carry, soChatJSONsends the same body asChatand the pipelines' parsers stay the validator (run Dream withCTX_DREAM_JSON_MODE=off, as the OpenAI-compatible layer already forced).Row shape (422 on create/update):
