Claude Code v2.1.228 ·

Two new content block types are handled instead of hitting the unknown-type path

Responses can now include mid-conversation model-switch and system blocks without hitting unknown-type handling.

What

Responses can now contain blocks of type fallback (the point where the API switched models) and mid_conv_system. Token accounting, block dispatch and the streaming handler all handle both explicitly, counting them as "other" tokens and returning quietly rather than treating them as unknown. An additional 400-error classifier also now recognises the effort_unsupported upstream error class.

Details
  • The existing output_config text match for that error class remains alongside the new classifier.
Evidence

case "mid_conv_system":

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