What

Three specific one-line messages replace a single generic one, so a bad value points at its own source: "Invalid auth token · Fix external auth token", "Invalid ANTHROPIC_CUSTOM_HEADERS · Fix the environment variable", and "Invalid request header from the environment · Fix the environment variable".

Details
  • Which message you get depends on whether the offending value came from ANTHROPIC_CUSTOM_HEADERS or from another header source.
Evidence

Invalid ANTHROPIC_CUSTOM_HEADERS · Fix the environment variable

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