fix(claude): safeguard refusals no longer show up as Claude's reply - #24669
When Claude's safeguards refuse a message and the refusal ends the turn, it should show once, like any failed turn; today it shows three times: in the error banner, as an assistant message that reads like Claude answered, and in the "Provider error" row.
Change
Claude Code reports the failure twice, as an assistant frame with error set and then a result with terminal_reason: "api_error", so ClaudeAdapterV2 now holds that frame until the turn ends, drops it only when the failure repeats its text, and otherwise shows it ahead of any later assistant text.
The check compares normalized error text with the terminal failure, applying the same 500-character cap. Interrupted turns retain the frame because they do not publish a terminal failure.
Scope
A bug fix: one error shows three times, once as a reply Claude did not write. Fixes#24171.
Verification
To see it on Linux web: sign in to Claude Code, set switchModelsOnFlag: false, send a message the safeguards refuse (#24171).
Re-checked 2026-11-14 on 089eb47889, which merges main 382312aba8 into 82cc4bd863.
Four table cases in the existing ClaudeAdapterV2.test.ts. Each feeds the adapter an assistant frame with error set, then a failed api_error result with the same text:
Setup: AI agent (Claude Opus 5.5 in T3 Code), 2026-11-14: Linux server (Omarchy 4.0.6), web per commit, light, 900x425, fresh data each; signed-in Claude Code 2.1.325, Haiku 5.5; local stand-in proxy replaces replies with refusal frames. Table: macOS 27.0.1, Node 26.12.1.
Steps: add a local project → pick Haiku 5.5 → send Reply with exactly: ok → open the thread; table: run, count rows.
Banner and Provider error row show the refusal; its first line also shows above the banner as an assistant reply.
Banner and Provider error row show the refusal; no assistant reply.
An AI agent also ran vp run scenarios:prove (live provider tier, same Claude Code, model, stand-in; scenario file local, not in this PR): "Proven: the scenario fails on base 382312aba8 and passes on head 089eb47889."
A provider-issued refusal; models other than Haiku 5.5.
Real path: text past the cap, a frame unlike the failure, held-frame release, interrupted or other non-failed turns, snapshot streaming.
Desktop and mobile.
The match rule, the rows, the web run and the full test output
The drop also needs the failure's whole source to match the whole frame, raw or as the failure shows it uncapped; a capped prefix alone keeps it, and only the Claude adapter and one provider-core export change.
Without an account, run vp test run src/orchestration-v2/Adapters/ClaudeAdapterV2.test.ts -t "API error frame" in apps/server.
The twelve rows on 089eb47889, in table order: drops the frame when the failure repeats it; drops it when the repeated failure is truncated; keeps it when only the truncated failure matches it; drops it when the result has a control character; drops it when a listed error repeats it under a longer result; keeps it when a listed error shows only its first 500 characters; drops it when its snapshot repeats and the failure repeats it; drops it when an error result lists it; keeps it when the endings differ beyond the failure cap; emits the held frame before later assistant text; keeps it when the failure says something else; keeps it when the turn is interrupted.
b817e2bea0 trims the table from twenty-six rows to these twelve. The fourteen it drops include a long 403 repeat, a trailing newline, a different secret, a custom endpoint's reworded version error, and the rows where a 403 result, an error result, a listed error, joined diagnostics, a long login hint or a compaction error differs beyond the failure cap.
#24044 and #24126 change the fallback-model prompt and the session model after a fallback.
No contract, client or other provider changes: every client renders the thread from the same server data, so no client change is needed. The frame is dropped only when the failure repeats its exact text, so failures T3 rewords (usage limit, expired login, 429, 529) keep showing the CLI's detail as a message.
The web run, in T3's Browser panel: by page text the refusal shows three times on 382312aba8 (banner, assistant reply, Provider error row) and twice on 089eb47889 (banner and row). On both, Claude Code's refusal frame equals its result text byte for byte, 208 characters, under the 500-character cap; the Learn more URL is a link only in base's assistant reply. The stand-in passed every other request to the real API unchanged, and the prompt was neutral, so the real service was never asked to refuse anything; the stand-in refused the turn and its one automatic continuation. The images are uncropped and unmasked; the Request ID and Message ID lines sit under the app's banner or composer. In the base image the reply's first line sits partly under the banner's top edge; the two views differ in scroll position (base timeline 140 px down, tip 14 px). Not shown on the real path also covers held-frame release with no frame when only the first request is refused, and interrupted or other non-failed turns with a frame. On 089eb47889, vp run check:changed 382312aba8, the typecheck of both changed packages and the whole test file pass, #29208's retry-budget rows included. The scenario's base run failed on both attempts. The web client ran in Chromium. Commits: base 382312a, head 089eb47. The table ran on a MacBook (macOS 27.0.1, arm64), the test file from 089eb47889 on each commit, with --reporter=tap-flat.
The scenario run: start-app.ts changed locally so the agent and title model is Claude Haiku 5.5, the provider's cheapest; all 19 requests the stand-in logged went to it. The scenario matches on anthropic.com/legal/aup. Its control, the Provider error row holding that text, passed on both commits; its check counts assistant messages holding it, 1 on base (the retry failed the same way) and 0 on 089eb47889, where all 7 steps passed. The tool's own captures are not linked: they show the refusal's request and message IDs. Its base failure, unedited:

Claude Code reports an API failure as an assistant frame with `error`
set and again as the turn's result. The adapter turned the frame into a
reply, so the refusal showed as an assistant message and as the turn's
failure. The frame now waits until the turn ends and is dropped when
the failure carries the same text.

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — This is a narrowly scoped Claude adapter bug fix that defers duplicate API-error frames and removes them only when the terminal failure already contains the same text. Focused regression tests cover both duplicate refusal suppression and preservation of distinct rate-limit details.

Walkthrough
The Claude adapter holds assistant API-error frames until later assistant text arrives or the turn ends. It compares held frame text with the terminal failure source and suppresses a matching frame. Provider failure handling now retains source text for that comparison.
Provider failure results now retain source text. The new uncappedProviderFailureMessage helper redacts message content without applying the length cap used by makeProviderFailure.

The adapter holds API-error assistant frames and flushes them when later assistant text arrives. At finalization, it suppresses a held frame when its text matches the failure source.

Explanation
The title "fix(claude): safeguard refusals no longer show up as Claude's reply" matches the main change. The adapter now holds an assistant frame with error set until the turn ends and drops it when the terminal failure repeats the same text. The title names the Claude scope, the refusal case, and the user-visible effect. It is a single conventional-commit style sentence. It is slightly narrower than the full change, since the fix also covers other API-error frames that repeat the failure text, but it does not misrepresent the change.
Full details: Linked Issues check
Explanation
The only active directly linked issue is #24171. Its coding requirement is that a Claude safeguard refusal ending a turn appears once. At the reviewed head, ClaudeAdapterV2.ts holds a main-thread assistant frame with error set in apiErrorFrame instead of emitting it. At turn finalization, the held frame is dropped when the turn has status failed and failureRepeatsFrame(failureSource, frame.text) is true. The check compares trimmed raw text or the uncapped normalized failure message with the frame text. The frame is emitted when the failure text differs, when the turn is not failed (including interrupted turns), or when other assistant text arrives first. Flush points are text block start, non-empty text deltas, and snapshot text. The changes since the previous review add failureSource tracking in providerFailureFromResult and the shared helper uncappedProviderFailureMessage. These changes support the same comparison, so the earlier conclusion still holds. The live Claude safeguard refusal path was not run. The PASS rests on focused test cases that follow the frame and result shapes in the issue logs.
Full details: Out of Scope Changes check
Explanation
The whole-PR diff against the merge base changes three files. ClaudeAdapterV2.ts holds and finalizes the API-error frame and records each failure's source text. ClaudeAdapterV2.test.ts adds regression cases for #24171. packages/provider-core/src/server/failure.ts adds one exported helper, uncappedProviderFailureMessage, which applies the same redaction and default message as makeProviderFailure without the length cap. The adapter imports this helper, and failureRepeatsFrame uses it for the comparison. The helper therefore connects to #24171. The PR description says the change is scoped to ClaudeAdapterV2 and reports no shared-package changes. That statement is stale for the current head. The shared-package change is small and not a contract, client, or other-provider change, so it does not count as out of scope. No unrelated change was demonstrated.
Full details: Description check
Explanation
The description follows the template's main sections: Problem, Change, Scope, and Verification. It explains the triple-display bug, the hold-and-compare change in ClaudeAdapterV2, the 500-character cap, and the interrupted-turn behavior. It links issue #24171, names the focused test file and cases, and reports observed before/after results with screenshots. Gaps: the description is very long and includes non-template content such as a takeover verification note and agent attribution, and the Verification section lists some checks that were not run on the final head. The template asks for the model and harness at the end, and the description includes that. The author states that live Claude safeguard refusal remains unverified, which the template allows as a disclosed limit.

installed and ran github/main (6575ce32508bd7908444241f3719aa33aaf77f90) in /home/user/main first, then stopped its captured process group before running the pr. main used ports 8693/16733; the pr used 5733/13773 and isolated /home/user/t3code/.t3 state.
drove the actual web client with repository playwright and /usr/bin/google-chrome. created the project pointing at /home/user/t3code through the add-project flow, created threads, selected codex gpt-6.1-sol, and submitted real prompts through the local proxy. the same baseline prompt returned verification baseline ok. on main and the pr.

exercised the real claude cli through the running server with t3 thread start --provider claudeAgent --model claude-opus-5-5 --wait. the unauthenticated turn failed promptly. native logs show an assistant frame with error: "authentication_failed" and Not logged in · Please run /login, followed by an api_error result repeating that text. the web client retained this cli detail alongside t3's different authentication guidance, as the pr intends for reworded failures. the screenshot has the dismissible banners closed so both messages are visible.

Not verified
the core safeguard-refusal fix remains unverified in a live provider turn. claude is installed (2.1.314) but unauthenticated, confirmed by both its cli and the running app. i could not reproduce the original safeguard refusal on main or obtain matching main/pr refusal captures. codex does not traverse ClaudeAdapterV2. no mocks, stand-in executables, replay frames, or demo data were used to claim integration proof.
live claude HTTP 429, successful recovery after an api-error frame, and long-error duplication were not exercised. the description and review already document the >500-character comparison limitation.
native ios/android, electron, macos/windows, relay, and tunnel clients were not exercised on this linux web verification pass.
ci is not green at this head: github reports Lint and aggregate Check failed. the lint job reports three comment-length errors in unchanged files (WireProjection.ts, orchestrationV2.ts, orchestrationV2DedupedBodies.ts). i left these outside this verification scope.
result: unverifiable for the requested safeguard behavior, with the neighboring real-provider checks above passing.
Cover held-frame ordering with later assistant text.
ClaudeAdapterV2 can receive a held main-thread API-error frame, then nonempty assistant text. The adapter must emit the held frame before that later text. The current regression cases do not cover this sequence, so a regression that drops the held frame or emits it after the later text can pass.

Use the complete terminal result to validate capped repeats.
finalizeActiveTurn receives the complete SDKResultMessage. Compare the complete normalized held frame with the complete normalized terminal result. For an uncapped 403 failure, compare the full failure message with the full frame. For a capped API-error failure, suppress the frame only when the complete terminal result also matches the complete frame. Do not suppress it when only the first 500 characters match and trailing details differ.
Add regression cases for a long 403 repeat and for capped API-error results with identical prefixes but different trailing text. Preserve the existing short-repeat and interrupted-turn cases.

A long 403 uses the whole result as its failure, but the check compares it with only the first 500 characters of the frame, so the same text shows twice.
A capped 400 hides the frame when the first 500 characters match, even if the endings differ.
@maria-rcks, since you've taken this PR over, we haven't pushed. Here's a change for you to apply if you want it. When the turn ends with a result, the frame is dropped only if the whole result matches the whole frame and the failure repeats it, in full or capped at 500 characters. Without a result, the failure must match the frame exactly.
Your table gains four rows:
a long 403 repeat
a capped result with the same first 500 characters but a different ending
a frame of exactly 500 characters whose result goes on
an error result whose errors entry repeats the frame
The first three fail on dc9eba2. With the change, all eight rows pass, the whole ClaudeAdapterV2.test.ts passes (265 tests), and vp run check:changed passes.
If you apply it, the description's line "The check compares normalized error text with the terminal failure, applying the same 500-character cap." would be out of date, and so would the "Four table cases" count under Verification.

@maria-rcks thanks for the report; a benign prompt asking Haiku to reproduce a book chapter only got an ordinary decline, so we triggered the same frame pair with a real signed-in Claude turn whose request the API rejected with a 400, which makes Claude Code send the synthetic assistant frame with error set followed by an api_error result. On main (d313b2aff3) T3 shows that text three times (banner, assistant message and Provider error row), and at dc9eba2fd4 only the banner and the Provider error row. The adapter tests' fixtures match the real frames on every field the adapter reads, and the 4 API error frame tests pass at this head; a real safeguard refusal stays unverified because we found no benign prompt that reliably produces one.
…e-same
A held API error frame keeps its place ahead of a reply that streams in through main's text deltas and is shown once that reply's first text arrives, and the error frame tests provide NodeCrypto.layer for main's wake harness.
I merged current main in: one conflict with the paragraph-streaming change, resolved so the held error frame still shows ahead of a reply that streams in.
The drop comparison is unchanged.
With main's changes, a version error from a custom API endpoint has its message reworded, so that one frame is shown and not dropped as a duplicate.

I added one commit on top of the merge.
An API error that differs from the final result now stays visible instead of being dropped, and the commit answers the open review finding on the merge.
Nothing else changed.
The automated pipeline stopped on this pull request and will not merge it:
the fix is written and reviewed, but proving it needs something no worker has:
Permanent blocker: first-party Claude access capable of producing the real Sonnet 5.5 synthetic safeguard refusal is required and is listed as unavailable on every VM. Generic ACP replay does not exercise ClaudeAdapterV2.
The base reproduction and head behavior remain unverified, including full diagnostic visibility, truncation, and duplicate error presentation.
Distinct frame diagnostics, held-frame release during subsequent assistant streaming or snapshots, interrupted/non-failed turns, desktop, and mobile were not exercised.
I ran the refusal on base 99071c4953 and on b817e2bea0, one test server per revision, in the Linux web client, with Claude Code 2.1.325 signed in on Claude Sonnet 5.5. The provider's own safety system was not triggered: a local proxy in front of the signed-in Claude API stood in for it and turned the turn's two replies into refusals (text blocks dropped, stop_reason: "refusal"). Claude Code then wrote its own refusal frame (model: "<synthetic>", error: "invalid_request") and a failed result (terminal_reason: "api_error"). Steps, the same on both: add a project, pick Claude Sonnet 5.5, send "Reply with exactly: ok (R24669-BASE)" (-TIP on b817e2bea0), wait for the turn to fail.
Base 99071c4953: the refusal text shows three times on the page: in the error banner, as an assistant message Claude did not write, and in the Provider error row.
b817e2bea0: it shows twice, in the banner and in the Provider error row. There is no assistant message.
On both revisions Claude Code's frame text equals its result text byte for byte, and the frame, the result and the turn's failure message are each 420 characters, under the 500-character cap, so nothing was cut.
On both revisions the banner shows three lines and "Show full error", and the Provider error row shows the full text through the "Learn more" URL. On base that URL is a link only inside the mistaken assistant message; on b817e2bea0 it is shown whole as plain text and nothing on the page links it. That is the intended change: the error surfaces are the same on both revisions, and only the assistant message, which happened to render the URL as a link, is gone.
Unit table, vp test run src/orchestration-v2/Adapters/ClaudeAdapterV2.test.ts -t "API error frame" on Node 26.12.1: 12 of 12 rows pass on b817e2bea0. The same test file on base 99071c4953's production files fails 6 and passes 6; the six that fail are the six rows that drop the frame.
The frames are uncropped. The base message frame is 2560x912 and the other two are 2560x1020, so the base and b817e2bea0 frames are not the same height. In each one the Request ID and Message ID lines sit under the frosted composer, so no frame shows a surface to its last line; the counts above come from the page text.
Base 99071c4953: the banner, and the same text as an assistant message with its Learn more link
Base 99071c4953, same thread: the Provider error row repeats it below the banner
b817e2bea0: the banner and the Provider error row, no assistant message above the row
Not run: a refusal the provider's safety system issued itself; a text past the 500-character cap on the real path (Claude Code writes this text, 420 characters here, so only the unit rows cover longer ones); a frame whose text differs from the failure, outside the unit rows; held-frame release before later assistant text: with only the first request refused, Claude Code wrote no error frame, T3 showed its notice and then the real reply, and the turn completed, so there was nothing to hold (run on base only for that reason); interrupted turns and other non-failed turns that carry an error frame; snapshot streaming; desktop; mobile.
…e-same
Resolved the result-finalize block in ClaudeAdapterV2.ts by keeping both sides: the failure is still built with its source so a repeated API error frame shows once, and the reset-time block main moved below it, with its new push of the result's own reset time, runs on that failure.
I merged main 5958d00ede into juliusmarminge's head b817e2bea0, producing 82cc4bd863. The one conflict was in ClaudeAdapterV2.ts, in the result-finalize block #36642 changed. I kept both sides, with no other change.
The verification on b817e2bea0 no longer covers 089eb47889. I merged main 382312aba8 into 82cc4bd863, producing 089eb47889. I kept both imports in ClaudeAdapterV2.ts, resolving the sole conflict from #29208 and this PR, with no other change.

takeover:in-progress
Problem
When Claude's safeguards refuse a message and the refusal ends the turn, it should show once, like any failed turn; today it shows three times: in the error banner, as an assistant message that reads like Claude answered, and in the "Provider error" row.
Change
Claude Code reports the failure twice, as an assistant frame with
errorset and then aresultwithterminal_reason: "api_error", soClaudeAdapterV2now holds that frame until the turn ends, drops it only when the failure repeats its text, and otherwise shows it ahead of any later assistant text.The check compares normalized error text with the terminal failure, applying the same 500-character cap. Interrupted turns retain the frame because they do not publish a terminal failure.
Scope
A bug fix: one error shows three times, once as a reply Claude did not write. Fixes #24171.
Verification
To see it on Linux web: sign in to Claude Code, set
switchModelsOnFlag: false, send a message the safeguards refuse (#24171).Re-checked 2026-11-14 on
089eb47889, which merges main382312aba8into82cc4bd863.Four table cases in the existing

The fourteen it drops include a long 403 repeat, a trailing newline, a different secret, a custom endpoint's reworded version error, and the rows where a 403 result, an error result, a listed error, joined diagnostics, a long login hint or a compaction error differs beyond the failure cap.#24044 and #24126 change the fallback-model prompt and the session model after a fallback.
No contract, client or other provider changes: every client renders the thread from the same server data, so no client change is needed. The frame is dropped only when the failure repeats its exact text, so failures T3 rewords (usage limit, expired login, 429, 529) keep showing the CLI's detail as a message.
The web run, in T3's Browser panel: by page text the refusal shows three times on
382312aba8(banner, assistant reply, Provider error row) and twice on089eb47889(banner and row). On both, Claude Code's refusal frame equals its result text byte for byte, 208 characters, under the 500-character cap; the Learn more URL is a link only in base's assistant reply. The stand-in passed every other request to the real API unchanged, and the prompt was neutral, so the real service was never asked to refuse anything; the stand-in refused the turn and its one automatic continuation. The images are uncropped and unmasked; the Request ID and Message ID lines sit under the app's banner or composer. In the base image the reply's first line sits partly under the banner's top edge; the two views differ in scroll position (base timeline 140 px down, tip 14 px). Not shown on the real path also covers held-frame release with no frame when only the first request is refused, and interrupted or other non-failed turns with a frame.
