In `@docs/providers/anthropic.mdx`:
- Around line 193-196: Update the structured-output documentation near the
Anthropic schema-enforcement description to note that refusals and responses
stopped at max_tokens may not satisfy the schema. Instruct clients to inspect
the response status and content before parsing message.content as schema-valid
JSON.
In `@internal/providers/anthropic/structured_output.go`:
- Line 123: Update sanitizeAnthropicSchema to retain minItems values 0 and 1
while removing or rejecting all other values; do not unconditionally drop
supported minItems constraints. In docs/providers/anthropic.mdx lines 183-185,
revise the documentation to state that only unsupported array constraints are
dropped.
- Around line 205-206: Update sanitizeAnthropicSchema so the object-closing
logic around isObjectSchema and additionalProperties preserves allOf composition
semantics: merge compatible branches before applying the restriction, or reject
compositions that cannot be represented rather than making valid schemas
unsatisfiable. Add a test covering an allOf composition with branches requiring
different properties.
- Around line 205-206: Update sanitizeAnthropicSchema so every object property
is included in required before applyAnthropicResponseFormat forwards the schema
to Anthropic; represent optional properties with nullable types while preserving
existing required properties. If a property cannot be normalized safely, reject
the schema instead of emitting an invalid output_config.format.schema.
- Around line 173-175: Update sanitizeAnthropicSchema so schemas containing both
oneOf and anyOf preserve the oneOf constraint by appending an anyOf wrapper for
the sanitized oneOf entries to allOf, while retaining existing allOf entries.
Keep the current oneOf behavior when anyOf is absent, and add a regression case
covering both keywords through applyAnthropicResponseFormat.

…chemas Anthropic accepts minItems 0 and 1 and rejects any other value, so minItems is now preserved for those two and dropped otherwise instead of always being stripped. A oneOf that cannot be merged with a sibling anyOf is logged when dropped, and the structured-output docs cover the non-JSON exception paths.

In `@docs/providers/anthropic.mdx`:
- Around line 182-183: Update the Anthropic provider documentation near the
schema sanitization guidance to state that response_format.json_schema.schema is
sent as output_config.format.schema, sanitization preserves property names,
enum, const, and pattern values, and compiled schemas may be cached separately
for up to 24 hours without the same PHI protections; warn users not to include
PHI in schema definitions.
- Around line 197-198: Update the documentation for sanitizeAnthropicSchema to
state that only local, non-recursive $ref/$defs references are supported;
external references, recursive schemas, and allOf containing $ref are rejected
by Anthropic.
In `@internal/providers/anthropic/structured_output.go`:
- Around line 106-107: Update sanitizeAnthropicSchema to reject or remove
unsupported pattern constructs before forwarding schemas to Anthropic, including
lookarounds, backreferences, word boundaries, and complex large-range
quantifiers; return the established gateway validation error when rejecting
values, and ensure only Anthropic-supported patterns are retained. Update
docs/providers/anthropic.mdx at lines 185-187 to document this pattern
limitation.

…ine rejects Lookarounds, backreferences and word boundaries make Anthropic 400 the request before the model runs, so they are dropped like the other validation-only constraints. Docs also state the $ref limits Anthropic enforces.

response_formaton an Anthropic model used to fail with400 chat field response_format is not supported by Anthropic translation, so any OpenAI-compatible client asking for JSON broke the moment it was routed to Claude. Anthropic has had native structured outputs for a while, so GoModel now adapts instead of refusing.User-visible impact:
{"type": "json_schema", ...}is sent as Anthropic's nativeoutput_config.format. Content comes back as the JSON text withfinish_reason: "stop"— the same shape OpenAI returns. Streaming is unaffected, and tools can be sent alongside it.{"type": "json_object"}becomes a system-prompt instruction (Anthropic's native format accepts onlyjson_schema). The instruction names backticks explicitly because Haiku 4.5 otherwise fences the object in ```json.additionalProperties: false, validation-only keywords Anthropic rejects (minimum,maxItems,uniqueItems,not,if/then/else, …) are dropped,oneOfis relaxed toanyOf, and unknown stringformatvalues are removed. The walk is keyword-aware, so a property literally namedminimumsurvives.verbosityhas no Anthropic equivalent; it is now dropped with aslog.Warnrather than returning a 400, matchingdropUnsupportedSamplingParameters/relaxForcedToolChoice./v1/responsesshares the chat translation path, sotext.formatandtext.verbosityget the same treatment.
