fix(anthropic): recover rejected thinking without local prefix validation

[lidge-jun]

Summary

Recover the exact Anthropic/Bedrock thinking-signature conversation-binding rejection once on translated Responses HTTP paths. HTTP 400 and initial HTTP-200 stream errors rebuild without the rejected signed/redacted payloads through the existing pacing and send-budget owner. Ordinary delivery, hosted search, image/video iterations and empty-completion retries share one guard. Completed hosted tool results remain in history; semantic output, side effects, cancellation, exhausted budgets and a second refusal prevent replay.

Carries #7098's recovery, bounded selective rejection memo and faithful in-memory search history without its local prefix validator, prefix hashes or observer chain. Successful delivery can memoize only the rejected opaque payloads, preserving newly issued thinking. The recovery remains disabled for legacy sidecars under enforced spend when earlier physical-send receipts cannot be proven. No native Messages beta/body contract changes are included.

Includes contributor #7221's owner-inventory registration by merge commit, preserving its original commit and authorship. The merge with current dev preserves both owner-inventory entries, the combined test-layout maps and Zen's structured rate-limit type/code handling. The final focused selection includes all test files found by rg -l -g "*.test.ts" opencode-zen tests. The branch includes dev (0036a88503, including #7095, #7261, #7262 and #7235) and preserves signed progress ordering, native-reasoning retention, account-refusal handling and sidecar usage attribution. Signed progress created during a hosted search stays signed in the internal history so a later binding refusal remains recoverable. The progress/search integration test now exercises actual adapter parsing and replay capture. Optional capture-budget pressure invalidates only the capture and preserves healthy final answers; further hosted searches still require a lossless snapshot. Later media-iteration send refusals preserve their non-retryable 429 identity after tool execution.

• bun run privacy:scan — passed; only synthetic upstream/search fixtures were used.
• git diff --check origin/dev...HEAD — passed.
• Owner-inventory red/green: bun test tests/responses/responses-core-modules.test.ts failed before test(responses): register thinking recovery owner for #7147 #7221 (9 pass / 1 fail, missing owner). The corrected inventory passes in the final 29-file focused run, including the new dev owner from fix(responses): reclaim least recently used idle WebSocket at capacity #7095.
• The two new HTTP/SSE progress-recovery cases failed before the internal-history correction (0 pass / 2 fail), then passed after it (2 pass / 0 fail, 22 assertions).
• Final focused run below — 883 pass / 0 fail, 15,054 assertions, 29 files. The deliberate overlap option was limited to isolated, one-worker focused checks while other release lanes held the shared broad-test lock.

• bun install --cwd docs-site --frozen-lockfile — passed; bun run --cwd docs-site build rerun on the final merged head — passed; 577 pages and 81,423 internal links checked.
• bun run test:changed --parallel=2 against merge base 0036a88503 — 30,577 pass / 37 skip / 0 fail; 706,592 assertions; 1,336 files; exit 0. Earlier-head runs were intentionally interrupted (exit 143) before review corrections and dev refreshes, and are not counted as passing.
• Review regressions: four targeted cases failed before correction, covering capture admission, finish reservations, healthy adapter completion and later media refusal identity. All four now pass (22 assertions). The healthy-adapter control was separately rerun with the old replay implementation and failed, then restored to the fixed source.

The import-graph run covers 1,336 files; a separate full local suite was omitted because active release worktrees share the broad-test runner. The focused set explicitly covers source inventories, golden layout maps, file-size limits and Lab isolation that Bun's import graph cannot reliably discover. The 37 skips include opt-in real-client wire tests and platform-specific checks. No live Anthropic, Bedrock, search or media service was contacted.

Hosted PR CI for this head is tracked in run 38994132436. Current-head functional jobs must finish successfully before merge; older-head, queued, cancelled and skipped jobs are not passing evidence. Prior independent review covered the original carried runtime, and CodeRabbit verified and resolved both follow-up findings in f7a60f0f2f. Normal maintainer review remains required.

📝 Walkthrough

The change adds bounded Anthropic thinking-signature recovery across Responses delivery, hosted search, and image/video sidecars. It adds replay capture, selective rejection memos, send-budget handling, preserved error metadata, tests, and documentation.

Changes: Anthropic Thinking-Signature Recovery

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Replay capture and rejection policy src/adapters/anthropic-replay.ts, src/adapters/anthropic-rejection-memo.ts, src/adapters/anthropic-tool-catalog.ts, src/adapters/anthropic.ts, src/responses/reasoning-replay-cache.ts, tests/adapters/*	The adapter captures validated stream history and fingerprints signed or redacted thinking payloads. Replay storage supports selective or blanket rejection policies.
Responses recovery and delivery src/server/responses/*, tests/responses/responses-anthropic-*, tests/server/inference-client-encoder-delivery.test.ts	Responses dispatch and delivery retry eligible signature-binding refusals. Replay safety, response identity, and send-budget state limit retries. Successful nonempty output is required before memoization.
Hosted-search recovery and history src/web-search/*, tests/responses/responses-web-search-thinking-signature-recovery.test.ts	Hosted search reconstructs Anthropic assistant history, validates tool-call identities, retains declared tools, and handles eligible HTTP and stream failures.
Image/video sidecars and supporting contracts src/images/loop.ts, src/server/responses/sidecar-*.ts, docs-site/src/content/docs/guides/providers.md, structure/*, scripts/test-layout/layout.json, tests/fixtures/*	Image/video sidecars pass recovery state through request rebuilding and account for physical dispatches. Documentation and test inventories describe the recovery contract.

✅ Deterministic PR hygiene checks passed.

[lidge-jun]

Merged current dev (after #7058 landed) in e015627. Conflicts in src/server/responses/adapter-delivery.ts and sidecar-execution.ts were independent additions and both sides are kept: the thinking-signature recovery wrapper and #7058's client tool-catalog restriction. Recovered events still flow through guardEmptyToolCatalogStream / guardEmptyToolCatalogEvents, so the recovery path cannot bypass the explicit-empty catalog check. structure/providers-and-adapters.md keeps #7058's catalog-boundary link and this PR's corrected empty-answer recovery wording.

Local after merge: typecheck clean; 474 tests across the recovery, explicit-empty catalog, advisor wiring, layout, file-size and core/Lab guard files passed; structure:check passed.

Review comments at @src/adapters/anthropic-replay.ts:
- Around line 43-48: Update the replay capture in retain so budget errors
invalidate the optional capture instead of escaping, and stop processing the
current frame when retention fails; apply this at both block and delta call
sites in accept. In finish, move the transient reservation inside the guarded
region and release it only when acquired, so reservation failures also
invalidate the capture without interrupting stream completion. Update the
overflow test to verify accept does not throw, takeAnthropicReplay returns
undefined, and the budget returns to zero.

Review comments at @src/images/loop.ts:
- Line 793: Update the SendBudgetExhaustedError branch in the later-iteration
handling around isTranslatorBudgetExceededError to convert the refusal into the
same structured, non-retryable 429 LoopError used by the eager first-iteration
handler, preserving its status and code for produce(). Keep the
translator-budget error handling unchanged.

Maintainer integration into dev (MAINTAINERS.md maintainer-integration exception) for the 2.88.0 train.

Exact head 48b1474ac99ff89721ff1aae798b92918c4c9e39 includes current dev (0036a88503, with #7095, #7261, #7262, #7235) and contributor #7221's commit. Cross-platform CI 38994132436 (gates, test 1/4-4/4, aggregate ci), Catalog contracts 38994132409, React Doctor 38994132492 and enforce-target 38994680948 completed successfully; CodeRabbit finished with no unresolved threads. Reviewed the recovery boundary: one rebuild without only the rejected opaque thinking payloads, through the existing pacing/send-budget owner, and no replay after semantic output, side effects, cancellation, exhausted budget or a second refusal.
