Agent Quick Fix

Repair against the current Claude API contract, then keep the change narrow and source-backed.

Product: Claude API
Current-contract area: Zero-data-retention organization cannot use a newer model
Likely root cause: Identical requests work in one organization and return HTTP 400 in another.
Repair direction: Verifier checks current model ID, accepted payload, structured output/tool parsing, and behavior under retries.

Symptom

Identical requests work in one organization and return HTTP 400 in another.

Why This Happens

SDK types may still accept fields that the selected hosted model rejects; model retirement, tokenizer, thinking, and tool behavior are external and fast-moving.

Common Wrong Fixes

Changing local code without checking the current external contract.
Retrying the same install, build, or API call with no version/source change.
Applying a broad unsafe bypass when a narrow compatibility fix is available.
