Source Intelligence

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.

Structured Output Retraction Error Messages

What

When a model fallback causes structured output to be retracted and no retry succeeds, Claude Code now surfaces a more specific error message instead of the previous "the cloud agent called StructuredOutput but every attempt failed schema validation."

New message: "the cloud agent called StructuredOutput but no attempt produced a surviving valid output (failed schema validation, or retracted by a model fallback)"

Evidence

Updated error string (search for "retracted by a model fallback and no retry produced a valid result")

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
