Claude Code v2.1.251 ·

Provider check collapsed to a single first-party test

Detecting a non-Anthropic provider now goes through one helper instead of listing them.

What

Deciding whether a non-Anthropic API provider is in use no longer enumerates Bedrock, Vertex, Foundry and the other provider environment variables; it asks one helper whether the provider resolves to first-party. Same behaviour, one place to change.

Details
  • Adding a provider now only requires updating provider resolution.
Evidence

!fr()

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