Summary

Absorbs #2082 by @yzxcj797, with two corrections.

The defect. AgentRouter answers 400 content-blocked when the first user message is not in English (#2074) while the identical English request returns 200. The gateway inspects the opening user content, so an Anthropic system string never reaches the filter — the framing has to sit in that turn.

Correction 1 — exact host, not a substring. The original tested hostname.includes("agentrouter"), which also matches notagentrouter.example and agentrouter.org.attacker.example. A prompt mutation keyed on a provider's identity has to be keyed on that identity exactly, or an unrelated destination silently receives an injected instruction block. This matches agentrouter.org or a real subdomain of it.

Correction 2 — do not rewrite the user's text. The original spliced the marker into the user's own string:

firstUser.content = `${AGR_PREAMBLE_MARKER}\n\n${firstUser.content}`;

That edits what the user wrote. Logs, retries, and any upstream that echoes the turn then show a sentence the user never typed as if they had — the hidden user-turn mutation flagged in #1804. The framing is now its own leading text block, so the original content survives byte-for-byte. It still adds content to the user turn, which is unavoidable for a filter that reads the first user message, but it is now additive and attributable rather than a silent edit.

Idempotence is keyed on the leading block being exactly the marker rather than a substring test, so a user who quotes the marker later in their own prompt does not suppress their own framing.

One behavior worth naming rather than hiding: an assistant-only request is synthesized into a (continue) user turn upstream of this code, so the preamble lands on that synthetic turn. Pinned by a test.

No package.json change — the version bump in #2082 was inherited from the release line its branch was cut from, and it was the entire reason GitHub marked the PR CONFLICTING. The Anthropic hunks themselves merge cleanly.

Closes #2082. Fixes #2074.

Verification

  • bun run typecheck — clean.
  • bun test --isolate tests/anthropic-agentrouter-language-framing.test.ts — 10 pass / 0 fail.
  • RED-first. Reverting only src/adapters/anthropic.ts fails 7 of the 10. The 3 that stay green are the lookalike-host and direct-Anthropic cases — they pass on unpatched dev precisely because dev frames nobody, which is what makes them the guard against the substring predicate rather than a restatement of it.
  • bun run test (full suite) — 13529 pass / 10 skip / 0 fail across 857 files.
  • bun run privacy:scan — passed.

Assertions compare the text sequence rather than whole blocks, so they stay about the framing and do not go red the next time the cache_control policy is tuned.

Checklist

  • Scope stays focused and avoids unrelated cleanup.
  • Docs or release notes were updated when needed.
  • Security-sensitive changes were reviewed for secrets, auth, and unsafe defaults.

The host predicate is the security-relevant surface here and it was tightened, not loosened; two spoof shapes are pinned by tests.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added AgentRouter-specific language framing for supported Anthropic requests.
    • Added User-Agent: opencode metadata to the free provider.
    • Applied provider registry headers consistently to inference and model-discovery requests.
    • Preserved saved subagent models in selections even when temporarily unavailable.
  • Bug Fixes

    • User-defined headers now override registry headers regardless of capitalization.
    • Prevented duplicate AgentRouter framing while preserving message content and ordering.
  • Tests

    • Expanded coverage for header behavior, language framing, model retention, and configuration persistence.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔴 Critical · up to 53a5f

The production change adds exact-host, additive framing for AgentRouter requests, but the current head is not merge-ready because a modified test file cannot load due to a duplicate declaration, and several checked-in planning documents still contain contradictory or incomplete source-of-truth details.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Exercise the required framing branches with valid wire shapes.

The idempotence test rebuilds fresh unframed input on each attempt. It does not execute the exact leading-block check.

The structured-content test covers only text blocks. Add an image-only content fixture to cover content without a text part.

The assistant fixtures use strings. messagesToAnthropicFormat iterates assistant content parts, so these fixtures do not test preservation of an assistant tail before the synthesized "(continue)" user turn. Use [{ type: "text", text: "OK" }] and assert that the final user message contains [PREAMBLE, "(continue)"].

Also applies to: 65-76, 101-125

#2074 실화임. AgentRouter가 첫 유저 메시지가 영어 아니면 400 content-blocked. Anthropic system은 필터에 안 들어감. 오프닝 유저 턴에 프레이밍이 있어야 함. #2082를 가져오면서 구멍 둘을 막음.

호스트는 hostname.includes("agentrouter") 금지. agentrouter.org랑 그 서브도메인만. 유저 문자열에 마커를 이어붙이지 말 것 (#1804). 앞 텍스트 블록으로 따로. 원문은 바이트 그대로. 멱등은 선두 블록이 마커와 완전 일치. 인용하면 자기 프레이밍이 안 사라짐. assistant-only는 위의 (continue) 합성 턴에 붙음. 테스트 있음. #2082의 package.json 범프는 충돌 원인이었고 이번엔 없음.

같은 플랜 덤프랑 oauth/index.ts registry.ts router.ts가 #2160이랑 겹침. 스택이면 #2160 먼저. 아니면 파일 빼기. types.ts/config.ts 안 건드림. 분할에 깔림 없음. #2082 리베이스하지 말 것. #2074는 머지되면 닫으면 됨.

점수는 58임. 맞는데 2.28. 플랜 덤프 빼면 더 보기 좋음.

해결방안: #2160 머지 후 이 PR. 플랜 파일 제거. 비영어 첫 턴 400 재현 유지.

The AgentRouter framing fix is directionally valuable, and the exact-host plus additive-block corrections are better than the original proposal. I am requesting changes because the current branch is not a focused or current merge unit.

Two blockers remain:

  1. 53a5f73d4 is 30 commits behind the current dev head. Rebase onto the latest dev and rerun exact-head CI.
  2. This PR should contain the AgentRouter change in src/adapters/anthropic.ts and its focused regression test. Instead, the 19-file diff also carries the complete backlog-planning set, the opencode-free header work, and the unrelated subagent-roster work. Split those inherited commits out so review and rollback boundaries match the stated Anthropic defect.

Once the branch contains only the framing fix, is based on current dev, and its focused/full checks pass at that exact head, it should remain a strong merge candidate for #2074.

…non-English

AgentRouter answers 400 content-blocked when the first user message is
not in English (#2074) while the identical English request returns 200.
The gateway inspects the opening user content, so an Anthropic system
string never reaches the filter -- the framing has to sit in that turn.

Two corrections on top of @yzxcj797's #2082.

The host test was hostname.includes("agentrouter"), which also matches
notagentrouter.example and agentrouter.org.attacker.example. A prompt
mutation keyed on a provider's identity has to be keyed on that identity
exactly, so this matches agentrouter.org or a real subdomain of it.

The original spliced the marker into the user's own string. That edits
what the user wrote: logs, retries, and any upstream echo then show a
sentence the user never typed as if they had. The framing is now its own
leading text block, so the original text survives byte-for-byte.

Idempotence is keyed on the leading block being exactly the marker
rather than a substring test, so a user who quotes the marker later in
their prompt does not suppress their own framing.

The stacked-base change fixes the previous ancestry/scope problem, and the exact-host plus separate-block implementation is directionally correct. One current prompt-boundary blocker remains.

The unresolved test finding on tests/anthropic-agentrouter-language-framing.test.ts is valid. Because this code injects content into the outbound first user turn, add regressions for: (1) an already-present exact leading preamble block staying single/idempotent, (2) image-only structured user content receiving the preamble without losing or reordering the image block, and (3) assistant-only input represented with content-part arrays, asserting that the assistant tail is preserved and followed by the synthesized user turn [PREAMBLE, "(continue)"].

The current focused file passes 10/10, but those three branches are the safety boundary for this provider-specific prompt mutation. Push the tests, rerun exact-head CI, and re-request review. The parent #2134 blocker must also be resolved before this stack can land.

…t shape

Review on lidge-jun#2162 asked for the three branches that are the actual safety
boundary here: this code writes into the outbound first user turn, so
"does it ever duplicate, drop, or reorder what the caller sent" has to be
pinned per content shape rather than only for a plain string.

Adds: an already-framed turn stays single and ordered; image-only content
keeps its image block behind the preamble rather than losing or
reordering it; assistant-only block content keeps its tail and is
followed by the synthesized [PREAMBLE, "(continue)"] user turn.

All three pass against the existing implementation, which is the point --
they are guards on a prompt mutation, not a fix.
