Problem

A gateway at a custom ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL (for example CLIProxyAPI before v8.0.63) can replace Claude Code's version with an older one. Anthropic then rejects the model with "Claude Code 2.1.280 does not support this model … Run 'claude update'". T3 showed that advice unchanged even though the installed Claude Code was already new enough, which misled users and the agent in the thread.

Change

The Claude adapter keeps the claude_code_version that Claude Code reports in system/init. If a "does not support this model" error names an older version than that, and a custom API endpoint is configured, the turn error names both versions and says the endpoint rewrote the version:

The custom API endpoint gateway.example.test reported Claude Code 2.1.280, but this session runs Claude Code 2.1.322. Running claude update will not fix this; the endpoint or a proxy behind it rewrote the version.

Without a custom endpoint, or when the installed version really is older, the original message is unchanged. The custom-endpoint rule that drives the provider's "Custom API endpoint" status moves into customClaudeApiEndpointHost so both use the same check. Claude settings are only read on this error path.

Scope and approval

Bug fix for #33958. Claude adapter only; no contract or client change.

Verification

• Three rows added to the existing "reports terminal API error text" table in ClaudeAdapterV2.test.ts: custom endpoint with newer installed version (new message), no custom endpoint (unchanged), installed version really older (unchanged). The first failed on main and all pass now; the whole file passes (351 tests). The provider's custom-endpoint tests in ProviderRegistry.test.ts pass.
• vp run check:changed origin/main: format, lint, knip, graphql and typecheck pass. One test fails: ClaudeSkills.test.ts › merges plugin enablement and selects installs in native registry order. It fails the same way on unmodified main on this macOS machine, with an isolated HOME too, and this PR does not touch it.
• Not checked: a real turn through a rewriting gateway.

Fixes #33958

When the session version is below the error’s required version, claudeRewrittenVersion still returns the gateway’s older reported version, causing the caller to replace the error and discard the CLI upgrade requirement. The regex captures only the reported version; capture the required version too and only rewrite when the session meets it, otherwise retain the original error.

Approvability

Verdict: Would Approve

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — This changes custom-endpoint version errors to explain the mismatch rather than recommend updating Claude. Its reach is limited to diagnostics; the supplied Medium finding about suppressing a valid upgrade requirement remains subject to the separate blocking gate.

Needs human approval because:

Walkthrough

The adapter now tracks the Claude Code version reported by the SDK and compares it with versions in unsupported-model errors. When the reported version is older and a custom endpoint host is available, the failure hint identifies the host and both versions.

Changes: Claude version mismatch handling

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Resolve custom endpoint hosts apps/server/src/provider/Drivers/ClaudeSkills.ts, apps/server/src/provider/ClaudeProvider.ts	A shared helper resolves eligible custom endpoint hosts. Provider status detection now uses this helper.
Track and compare Claude Code versions apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Adapters/ClaudeAdapterV2.ts	The adapter records the Claude Code version from the SDK init message and detects qualifying unsupported-model errors that report an older version.
Build and test the mismatch hint apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Adapters/ClaudeAdapterV2.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Adapters/ClaudeAdapterV2.test.ts	When a custom endpoint host is available, the failure hint identifies the endpoint and reported and session versions. Permission-denied, authentication, and usage-limit hints retain precedence. Tests cover custom endpoint, missing endpoint, and version cases.

Explanation

The changes stay within #33958. The adapter logic and tests implement the endpoint version-mismatch guidance. customClaudeApiEndpointHost centralizes the existing custom-endpoint check for the adapter and provider status. No unrelated contract or client change is shown.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

The change implements the main #33958 mismatch case. It stores claude_code_version, detects a reported version below the session version, and rewrites the message for a custom endpoint. The tests cover the rewritten case and unchanged cases. However, #33958 also requires the matching-version guidance to retain the update advice and name the Claude Code binary path that T3 runs. The unchanged path in ClaudeAdapterV2.ts does not add that path.

Resolution

Update the matching-version error guidance to include the actual Claude Code executable path. Add or update an automated test for the matching-version case. Keep the raw API error in the failure details.

Include launch settings in the endpoint lookup.

When --settings sets ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL, the SDK can use that endpoint while the mismatch hint uses a different user or process endpoint. The hint can name the wrong host or retain the misleading claude update advice. Resolve the endpoint from the effective SDK settings, with managed settings taking precedence over --settings.

Evidence

Real web app, Chromium, 1280×800 CSS pixels, light theme, fresh synthetic state on each commit. Actual Claude Code 2.1.322 uses a local endpoint returning HTTP 400 invalid_request_error: reported version 2.1.280, minimum 2.1.290, and instructions to run claude update. Create a Claude thread, send “Check the endpoint version.”, and inspect the resulting banner and Provider error.

Base repeats the endpoint's upgrade instructions. Head's banner and Provider error name the endpoint and both versions and explain that updating will not fix the rewrite. The original provider reply remains visible in the transcript.

Supplemental head control: raising the required minimum to 2.1.400 preserves upgrade advice for installed 2.1.322. Control recording.
