DisclaimerUnofficial, and not affiliated with Anthropic. Nearly all of this is read straight out of what ships: npm bundles, captured prompts, published docs. Anthropic's own notes go in verbatim, marked as theirs. The rest is my reading, and every entry carries the strings behind it. If one looks wrong, vote it down and say why.

 * **Cloud platform detection**, preserving platform-specific model ID formats (for example, the `anthropic.` prefix on Amazon Bedrock) and skipping changes for features that are unavailable on partner-operated platforms
 * **Breaking parameter changes**, such as removing `temperature`, `top_p`, and `top_k` for Claude Opus 4.8 and Claude Opus 4.7, and converting `thinking: {type: "enabled", budget_tokens: N}` to `thinking: {type: "adaptive"}`
 * **Prefill replacement**, converting assistant-message prefill patterns to [structured outputs](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/build-with-claude/structured-outputs) where applicable
-* **Beta header cleanup**, removing headers that are GA on the target model (for example, `effort-2025-11-24`, `fine-grained-tool-streaming-2025-05-14`, `interleaved-thinking-2025-05-14`) and switching back from `client.beta.messages.create` to `client.messages.create`
+* **Beta header cleanup**, removing beta headers that the target model doesn't require (for example, `effort-2025-11-24`, `fine-grained-tool-streaming-2025-05-14`, `interleaved-thinking-2025-05-14`) and switching back from `client.beta.messages.create` to `client.messages.create`
 * **Effort calibration**, recommending an `output_config.effort` starting point for the target model (for example, the default `high` on Claude Opus 5, and `xhigh` for coding and agentic use cases on Claude Opus 4.8 and Claude Opus 4.7)
 * **Prompt-behavior tuning**, flagging length-control, tool-triggering, subagent, and instruction-following prompts that may behave differently on the target model
 * **Silent default handling**, opting back into thinking summarization (`thinking.display: "summarized"`) when reasoning is surfaced to users on Claude Opus 4.8 and Claude Opus 4.7
