fix(claude-agent-sdk): replace the ToS-violating claude -p turn with Anthropic's own harness

[robin-bially]

⚠️ What this PR is fixing, stated plainly

We shipped a provider that was against Anthropic's terms. This PR is the correction. The chain, in order:

1. What 2.65.0 shipped was against the terms. That row went out as claude-cli and had OpenCodex build a one-shot claude -p turn: the caller's prompt replaced the harness system prompt, the session was off, the harness's tools were stripped, and a client that is not Claude Code drove the loop. A Claude subscription is licensed for Anthropic's own harnesses, and that construction spent it as an API behind a thin CLI veneer for a third-party agent. It is the usage accounts get suspended over, and the loss lands on the operator's account rather than on OpenCodex.
2. Meridian's route is safer, and this PR takes it. Meridian does not build the request either — it puts Anthropic's own harness on the request path. This provider now does the same through the Claude Agent SDK: the harness owns the session, the prompt and the sign-in, the caller's instructions are appended to the harness preset instead of replacing it, and the client's tool catalog is served through an in-process MCP server that captures calls instead of executing them. Nothing impersonates Claude Code and OpenCodex forges no request.
3. Safer is not clean, and this PR does not claim otherwise. The client is still not Claude Code, so the row stays a grey area. anthropic-apikey remains the only route here without an interpretation question: console billing, and the plan's automated-access clause covers a key.

Why this is not a cosmetic rename: it is the difference between users who keep their account and users who get locked out, and the construction 2.65.0 shipped sits on the wrong side of it. The rename stops the id from naming the old transport; the rebuild moves the turn off it. Whether a subscription-for-a-foreign-client row should exist at all, and whether the neighbouring forged track keeps shipping beside it (src/providers/claude-cli-identity.ts, which replays a claude-cli/<ver> identity against the Messages API), stay maintainer decisions under MAINTAINERS.md.

Summary

• Rename the provider id, with a migration. The row shipped in 2.65.0 as claude-cli (feat(provider): add a Claude Code CLI subscription provider #5712): an id that named the transport it used to be — a hand-built claude -p turn — and that collided with src/providers/claude-cli-identity.ts, the module which forges a claude-cli/<ver> user agent for the Messages-API rows. The registry row is now claude-agent-sdk ("Claude Agent SDK (subscription)"), and the adapter key and module follow. The retired id keeps resolving through DEPRECATED_PROVIDER_ALIASES, and claude-provider-rename-migration moves the saved row, an explicit adapter string on a custom-named row, and every cross-config reference shape the shared rewriter owns (routed strings, bare ids, keyed maps). It refuses with a warning when the destination row already exists or a keyed map collides, because two rows can describe two different sign-ins; the projection runs first in the shared startup pass so later repairs see the canonical id.
• The turn now runs through Anthropic's harness, with the client's tools. The adapter no longer builds a claude -p command: it calls the Claude Agent SDK's query(). The harness keeps its own system-prompt preset with the caller's instructions appended, the turn is the harness's session, built-in tools stay off (tools: []), no CLAUDE.md, skill, hook, plugin or MCP source from the machine is loaded (settingSources: [], strictMcpConfig: true), and persistSession: false keeps another client's conversation out of the operator's ~/.claude transcripts. The request's tool catalog is served to the model by an in-process MCP server (type: "sdk") that advertises the request's own JSON Schema, captures calls and never answers one, so approval, sandboxing and execution stay with the client. Nothing travels through argv any more — no staged prompt file, no --mcp-config path, no second executable.
• One new runtime dependency, an optional one, flagged for review. @anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk under optionalDependencies (a regular dependency until the review round) plus its platform package — the Claude Code build it drives (~230 MB unpacked per platform; the same binary the claude npm package installs). Its peer dependencies (@modelcontextprotocol/sdk, zod) are already runtime dependencies of this repository. MAINTAINERS.md requires explicit security review for dependency installation; this PR does not claim that review, and hygiene reports unsponsored_surface on package.json and bun.lock for exactly this reason — the check clears with the maintainer-sponsored label once a maintainer has completed that review, and until then the draft flag stays set by the gate: that review, and nothing else on this list, is what this PR is waiting for. A compiled single-file build cannot resolve a package path from inside $bunfs, so it drives the claude on PATH instead and reports cli_not_found when it is missing — both paths are documented in the provider guide.
• The first review round's findings are fixed, each with a regression. A retired adapter string
  (adapter: "claude-cli" on a row the projection refused) now resolves through the same deprecation
  table as the provider id, instead of failing as an unknown adapter at request time; a row that carries
  the retired NAME on another adapter - the operator's own provider - is left alone with its transport,
  its billing and every reference to it, and a warning says so; the harness runs in an empty per-turn
  scratch directory instead of process.cwd(), so the preset's working-directory and git-status
  context cannot describe the machine OpenCodex runs on, and the directory is removed once the harness
  is gone; and the SDK is optional, so an install that omits optional dependencies does not carry its
  ~230 MB.
• Docs, the structure map and the test layout follow the rename and the new transport. tests/claude-integration/ keeps its claude-cli file: that one pins the CLI client path, not this provider.

Verification

• bun run typecheck clean.

• 39 tests in tests/providers/claude-agent-sdk-adapter.test.ts: option assembly (preset kept and appended to, tools and settings off, no persisted session, no permission bypass), the fail-closed preflight paths, streaming, and the capture-bridge contract (init handshake, exact catalog names, call cap, tool_choice, incomplete calls).

• 136 pass / 0 fail across provider-registry-parity, claude-provider-rename-migration, model-rename-migration, alibaba-region-startup, adapter-registry-authority, adapter-tool-conformance, test-layout and test-layout-tooling, plus the 9 tests of the file-size ratchet.

• bun test tests/providers tests/adapters tests/test-layout.test.ts tests/test-layout-tooling.test.ts on this head (7,817 tests) and in a pristine origin/dev worktree checked out at the same base 5518653a9 (7,792 tests): 225 failures on both sides, and the failure lists are identical line for line (the diff over the 450 (fail) lines is empty). They all sit in the account-pool, quota-window and reset cluster this machine shows under load (Anthropic pool and reset expiry, Kiro evidence, two-lock xAI refresh, Grok config injection), none in a file this PR touches; tests/providers/xai/xai-refresh-lock.test.ts, run alone, passes 10/10. This branch adds 25 passing tests and no new failure.

• bun run structure:check, bun run privacy:scan and the file-size ratchet pass. The deprecated-id table moved to src/providers/deprecated-provider-aliases.ts because src/providers/registry.ts sits at its 232-line cap and Math.min means the cap cannot move.

• Live against the machine's signed-in subscription (Claude Code 2.1.282, claude-sonnet-5): a direct adapter turn answered "pong" in 4.5 s with usage {input 2, output 4, cache_read 3289, cache_creation 5894}, and a tool turn produced tool_call_start → tool_call_delta → tool_call_end for the request's own wire name followed by done(stopReason: "tool_use", endTurn: false), with no harness process left behind. Through the running proxy (/v1/messages, seeded from providerConfigSeed): text turn HTTP 200 in 1.52 s, tool turn HTTP 200 in 1.93 s returning {"type":"tool_use","name":"echo","input":{"value":"hello"}} with stop_reason: "tool_use".

• Rebased ten times as dev moved fast: onto 0f4c8d4a0, 82cb66e82, ca74738bc, bc90209a4, e807e1e27,
  af38c9566, 5518653a9, 06d7914e6, 7d8459388 and 7f9f0e53d, each time because the branch had fallen outside the
  gate's 10-commit tolerance for the latest dev claim. Eight of the ten moved no code: git diff origin/dev...HEAD was byte-identical before and after, and the last two report = for all eight commits in
  git range-diff 7d8459388..87e9d9296 origin/dev..1c3995929 — that head is 28 files and 3,278 diff lines.
  The sixth and the eighth needed real changes of the same class: the sixth is described next, the eighth
  after it.

• The sixth rebase needed one real change, and it is the class AGENTS.md warns about: each branch
  correct at its own head, the union not. dev landed #5945, which replaced the coding-agent parse
  state single open-call slot (openToolCallId) with per-block buffering (openToolBlocks,
  toolBlockStarts), so a tool_use block is emitted when it closes rather than when it starts. The
  adapter completeness invariants compared the starts it had already emitted against the completed
  count, and under the new state those are equal by construction — a block that opened and never
  closed stopped failing the turn. Both call sites now read toolBlockStarts against
  completedToolCalls, the pair the sibling CodeBuddy turn reads, and the parallel batch that pairing
  depends on has its own test. The existing fail-closed test is what caught it on the rebase.

• The eighth rebase needed that class of change again, this time in the shared path this adapter mirrors.
  dev landed #6022, which hardened the capture path for CodeBuddy: the parse state gained
  strictToolBlockCapture — the flag under which the parser refuses incomplete JSON arguments, refuses a delta
  that belongs to no open block, and treats a same-index start as an implicit stop only once the previous
  arguments are complete — and the per-turn tool-call cap moved from the emitted tool_call_start to the block
  open, because a block is buffered until its stop. An adapter that serves its own capture-only bridge has to
  set that flag and count at the same point, so sdk-turn.ts now does both. The added test opens more blocks
  than the cap allows without closing one: without the move the turn ran on to message_stop and failed there
  for a different reason.

• Full suite on the previous head 4eb25c424 (bun run test, 31,701 tests across 1,744 files), run twice: 31,650 pass /
  38 skip / 13 fail, then 31,640 / 38 / 23. Every failing case sat in three files —
  tests/claude-integration/claude-messages-endpoint.test.ts, claude-models-discovery.test.ts and
  tests/codex-integration/native-codex-toggle.test.ts — and each of them is fully green when run alone on
  the same head (54/54, 13/13, 13/13). The set moved between the two runs instead of repeating, and this
  machine runs a second opencodex instance plus other work: the two runs took 384 s and 404 s against
  293 s for the earlier clean one. That is contention, not this branch; the change-scoped evidence is
  the focused set below. An earlier full run on the 0f4c8d4a0 base also caught a
  direct Chat encoder stream lifecycle > stall watchdog failure that reproduced in a pristine origin/dev
  checkout, i.e. came from dev rather than this branch; it is green at the current tip.

• Focused on this head 1c3995929: typecheck clean; structure:check, privacy:scan and the file-size
  ratchet pass; bun install reports no change to the lockfile; 260 tests green across 13 files — the adapter
  (39), both migrations, the CodeBuddy protocol and bridge suites, the coding-agent JSON-lines scaling
  suite, provider-registry-parity, adapter-registry-authority, adapter-tool-conformance,
  adapter-buffered-tool-conformance, test-layout, test-layout-tooling and the ratchet. The full suite
  was not repeated for this push: eight of the ten rebases are patch-identical, the two that are not each
  change one adapter file plus its test, and the machine is in the contended state behind the 225-failure
  load class above — so the focused set plus the control comparison is the change-scoped evidence for this
  head.

• The review round's fixes carry their own tests: 47 pass across claude-agent-sdk-adapter and
  claude-provider-rename-migration (the refused-row adapter lookup, the foreign claude-cli row,
  the scratch directory that is used and then removed, and a read-only temp directory that fails the
  turn rather than falling back to the proxy's own cwd), plus adapter-tool-conformance and
  provider-registry-parity (70 tests) green on the new alias resolution.

• bun test tests/ci-workflows (1,355 tests): 1,350 pass, 3 skip, 2 fail - a bare pass run removes its preload-owned TEMP root and its fail-run twin, reproduced identically in the pristine origin/dev
  control worktree, so they are this environment and not this branch.

• Live again after the fix, against the signed-in subscription: the tool turn answered in 3.5 s with
  tool_call_start to tool_call_delta to tool_call_end for the request's own name and
  done(stopReason: "tool_use", endTurn: false), zero orphan harness processes, and no scratch
  directory left in the temp directory afterwards.

• End to end on the current head, through a running proxy seeded with providerConfigSeed and the
  /v1/messages surface: text turn HTTP 200 in 2.28 s answering pong, tool turn HTTP 200 in
  2.25 s returning {"type":"tool_use","name":"echo","input":{"value":"hello"}} with stop_reason: "tool_use", and no proxy process left behind. This is the request path #5820 rewrote on dev, so the
  run is repeated after a rebase rather than assumed to still describe the current base. Repeated on
  1c3995929 after the tenth rebase: text turn HTTP 200 in 2.52 s answering pong, tool turn HTTP 200 in
  1.88 s returning {"type":"tool_use","name":"echo","input":{"value":"hello"}} with stop_reason: "tool_use", and the proxy stopped afterwards.

Evidence for the destination

This is not a new OpenAI-compatible service row, so the preset list in contributing.md is answered
against the harness contract instead of a vendor gateway. The destination, the credential path and the
base URL are what 2.65.0 already shipped; what changes is who drives the turn.

• The harness is Anthropic’s own. The Agent SDK documentation says it "gives you the same tools,
  agent loop, and context management that power Claude Code, programmable in Python and TypeScript", and its
  comparison table describes the SDK as "a library that runs the Claude Code binary, with Claude Code’s
  capabilities". That is the substrate this adapter calls:
  https://code.claude.com/docs/en/agent-sdk/overview (checked 2026-09-26).
• The credential stays local, which the terms require. The Consumer Terms forbid sharing account
  credentials: "You may not share your Account login information, Anthropic API key, or Account credentials
  with anyone else. You also may not make your Account available to anyone else." This provider runs the
  harness inside the operator’s own process against the operator’s own signed-in installation; it holds no
  credential of its own and forwards nothing to a third party:
  https://www.anthropic.com/legal/consumer-terms (checked 2026-09-26).
• The clause this sits against, stated plainly. The same terms prohibit, "Except when you are accessing
  our Services via an Anthropic API Key or where we otherwise explicitly permit it, to access the Services
  through automated or non-human means, whether through a bot, script, or otherwise." The Agent SDK is an
  Anthropic client rather than a foreign script, which is why this PR moves the turn into it — but that
  exception is written for Anthropic’s own clients and nothing here claims a ruling. anthropic-apikey remains
  the path with no interpretation question, and the row note says the same in the dashboard.
• Maintenance owner: none claimed. This row is not newly added — 2.65.0 shipped it with the same
  destination and credential path — and this pull request names nobody as its owner. Breakage (harness
  contract, authentication, CLI version) surfaces through the provider-compatibility issue template, as it
  would for any row. If a named owner is a condition for the merge, that is a decision for whoever takes it
  on, and it should be asked for rather than assumed here.
• Verification date. The primary sources above were checked 2026-09-26, and the live end-to-end runs in
  Verification were made on the same day against Claude Code 2.1.282.

Supply-chain review surface

The review requested on 2026-09-27 named eight things to check on the exact published packages. Every value below was read from the packages installed on head 2874e34bb and from the npm registry; the command that produced a value is named where it matters. Two items are marked as the reviewer's decision rather than mine.

Provenance and license.

• @anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk@0.3.282, tarball https://registry.npmjs.org/@anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk/-/claude-agent-sdk-0.3.282.tgz, integrity sha512-6UAerS1udzndLEx+0XW3gQWiICgfu/a+2fx/aLY3gUy+1JUQESbwYkhR40+D6d+yjueCslkLmvkPlZQFZDph6A==. That string is what bun.lock records and what npm view @anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk@0.3.282 dist.integrity returns, so registry and lock agree; the eight platform packages are pinned to the same 0.3.282 with their own sha512 values in the same file.
• Published 2026-09-24T15:53:58Z by wolffiex <wolffiex@anthropic.com>, repository https://github.com/anthropics/claude-agent-sdk-typescript. 0.3.283 was published 2026-09-25T18:49:24Z and is already latest.
• No SPDX identifier anywhere in this chain, and the shipped binary is not under an open-source license. The SDK declares "license": "SEE LICENSE IN README.md" while the shipped text sits in LICENSE.md (the README has no license section); each platform package declares "license": "SEE LICENSE IN LICENSE.md", and that file is one line: "© Anthropic PBC. All rights reserved. Use is subject to the Legal Agreements outlined here: https://code.claude.com/docs/en/legal-and-compliance." Neither package states redistribution rights.
• Sizes: the SDK is 5,121,927 bytes unpacked; the platform package is 222,245,896 bytes holding one 222,245,312-byte claude executable, mode 755.

Install and postinstall behaviour.

• Neither package declares a lifecycle script — the SDK package has no scripts field at all and the platform package neither — so installing them is tarball extraction plus sha512 verification. No vendor code runs during bun install.

Executable download and update behaviour.

• Nothing is fetched at install time; the platform package contains the binary (files: ["claude", "README.md", "LICENSE.md"], os/cpu-gated).
• At turn time the harness starts with DISABLE_AUTOUPDATER=1, CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_NONESSENTIAL_TRAFFIC=1, CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_FEEDBACK_SURVEY=1, CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_OFFICIAL_MARKETPLACE_AUTOINSTALL=1, DISABLE_TELEMETRY=1, DISABLE_ERROR_REPORTING=1 and DISABLE_FEEDBACK_COMMAND=1 (src/adapters/claude-agent-sdk/env.ts): it does not replace its own binary under a running proxy, and it sends no usage or crash data.

Filesystem and network access at import and at turn time.

• Import is a library load and nothing else: await import("@anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk") in sdk-turn.ts. Probe on this head — HOME pointed at a fresh temp directory, a logging claude shim first on PATH, then bun -e 'import("@anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk")' — returned 32 exports, created no file under that HOME beyond Bun's own cache directory, invoked nothing through PATH, and left no child process.
• Turn time is bounded by the option set (src/adapters/claude-agent-sdk/sdk-options.ts): tools: [] removes every built-in tool, so the harness cannot read, write, exec or browse; settingSources: [] and strictMcpConfig: true keep CLAUDE.md, skills, hooks, plugins and the machine's own MCP servers out of the turn; persistSession: false leaves no transcript; cwd is an empty per-turn scratch directory that is removed once the harness exits, so the preset's working-directory and git-status context cannot describe the operator's tree. The tool catalog is served from this process (type: "sdk"), so no second executable, no argv and no temporary config file are involved in it.
• What stays opaque is the vendor binary itself. The environment replacement, the option set and the scratch directory are the boundary this repository controls. If the binary's own runtime behaviour should be traced or run under a sandbox for the record, say so and I will do that rather than assert it.

Supported-platform fallback.

• The SDK declares eight platform packages as its own optionalDependencies, each os/cpu-gated and all pinned to 0.3.282 in the lock, so only the target in use is installed.
• A compiled single-file build cannot resolve the bundled copy out of $bunfs, so there the turn drives the claude on PATH and answers cli_not_found (500, non-retryable, with the install hint) when it is missing — the same requirement this row had before it moved onto the SDK.

Optional-install omission.

• The entry sits in optionalDependencies, so an install with --omit=optional skips it. The adapter loads the SDK dynamically and maps a failed load to claude_agent_sdk_unavailable (500, non-retryable) instead of failing the proxy at startup; tests/providers/claude-agent-sdk-adapter.test.ts covers that path with loadSdk: async () => { throw new Error("Cannot find module '@anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk'") }.

Credentials and session boundary.

• OpenCodex stores no Claude token for this row, reads none and injects none, and never hands the configured API key to the harness (buildChildEnv ignores both). The SDK replaces the child environment with that map, and the shared base drops every inherited ANTHROPIC_* name — which is also what keeps a claude already pointed at this proxy from looping back into it. The only inherited name added back is USER, which is not a credential: the harness resolves its own sign-in by account name (measured with claude auth status under env -i — USER alone reports loggedIn: true, neither USER nor LOGNAME reports false).
• The sign-in is the operator's own (macOS Keychain, or ~/.claude/.credentials.json elsewhere) and it is the account that gets billed; persistSession: false keeps another client's conversation out of the operator's ~/.claude.

Two open items that are the reviewer's call, not mine.

• A vendor binary under "all rights reserved" terms with no SPDX identifier is a different kind of optional dependency than the ones this repository already declares. If that is not acceptable here, the row goes back to requiring a claude the operator installed themselves and the dependency comes out.
• package.json declares ^0.3.282, the lock pins 0.3.282, and 0.3.283 is already published — so a lockfile refresh moves a 222 MB vendor binary with no code change in this branch. Pinning exactly 0.3.282 is a one-line change; the dependency spec stays untouched while this review is pending.

Nothing in this section is offered as evidence for the legal question, and the dependency stays in the diff: the path gate is not worked around.

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 1c399

The new route puts the provider’s sign-in and requests under the vendor’s harness and limits which tools it can access. Existing provider settings also move to a new identity. These are meaningful control and rollout changes, although no introduced security failure was established.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — Any client permitted to use this subscription provider reaches the proxy operator’s harness sign-in, not a separate client sign-in. That shared-account property also applied to the retired subscription route; this PR changes the harness path, not the account owner.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — Request-supplied tool schemas cross into an in-process MCP catalog, but its call handler remains pending rather than executing tools. The runner checks initialization, declared names, call limits, and completion before handing calls back to the client.
• observed — The child environment does not add the configured API key; the harness instead uses the operator’s own sign-in. Destination validation precedes SDK startup.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

• inferred — Local cleanup limits how long a request waits for query return, but the optional return method and bounded wait do not themselves prove that an unresponsive external harness has terminated.

Hardening Proposals

• proposed — Verify the external runtime’s process and MCP-server teardown guarantee when cancellation occurs and query return exceeds the cleanup bound.

리뷰 · 우선순위 64 / 80

이 PR이 하는 일은 두 갈래입니다. 한쪽은 코드에 들어와 있고, 다른 쪽은 글에만 있습니다.

들어와 있는 쪽은 이름 바꾸기입니다. 공급자 id가 claude-cli에서 claude-agent-sdk로 바뀝니다. 2.65.0에 들어간 옛 이름은, 예전에 쓰던 claude -p 한 번 호출을 가리켰고, 메시지 API용으로 claude-cli/<버전> 헤더를 만드는 claude-cli-identity.ts와도 이름이 겹쳤습니다. 저장해 둔 설정은 켜질 때 새 id로 옮깁니다. 목적지에 이미 행이 있거나 같은 키가 부딪히면 경고만 하고 원래 설정을 그대로 둡니다. 반쯤 고친 설정을 저장하지 않으려고 복사본에서 고친 뒤, 실패하면 그 복사본을 버립니다. 옛 id는 DEPRECATED_PROVIDER_ALIASES로 레지스트리 조회만 새 행에 연결됩니다. 베이스는 dev이고, 같은 일을 하는 다른 열린 PR은 없습니다. #5792와 #5757은 다른 수정입니다.

글에만 있는 쪽은 동작 바꾸기입니다. 제목, 가이드, 대시보드 note, structure 문서는 이제 이렇게 말합니다. 턴이 Claude Agent SDK 세션이고, 같은 대화는 이어서 하며, 사용자 지시는 하네스 프리셋 뒤에 붙고, 도구는 실행하지 않고 받아 두기만 하는 프로세스 안 MCP로 넘긴다. 어댑터는 그 문장과 반대로 남아 있습니다. buildArgs는 여전히 --no-session-persistence, --tools "", --strict-mcp-config, --system-prompt-file을 넣습니다. 세션은 끄고, 기본 도구는 비우고, 시스템 프롬프트는 프리셋을 파일로 갈아끼웁니다. 함수 이름도 createClaudeCliAdapter입니다. 테스트는 첫 인자가 -p인지 봅니다. PR 본문도 이 절반을 진행 중이라고 적어 두었고, 초안 체크리스트는 0/4입니다. 약관 경고 자체는 분명합니다. Claude 구독을 Claude Code가 아닌 쪽에서 쓰면 잠길 수 있고, 피해는 로그인한 계정에 간다고 적습니다.

src/adapters/claude-agent-sdk/adapter.ts buildArgs - 세션을 끄고, 도구를 비우고, 프롬프트를 --system-prompt-file로 바꿉니다. 문서가 말하는 SDK 세션, 지시 이어 붙이기, 캡처용 MCP와 다릅니다.

docs-site/src/content/docs/guides/providers.md Claude Agent SDK 절 - 세션을 이어 받고, 프리셋 뒤에 지시를 붙이고, 프로세스 안 MCP로 도구를 받는다고 이미 된 일처럼 적습니다.

src/providers/registry/entries-extended.ts note - 대시보드에 같은 설명이 나갑니다. 이대로 합치면 사용자는 아직 없는 동작을 안내받습니다.

structure/adapters/registry.md - 테스트가 tools: []와 MCP 옵션을 고정한다고 적혀 있습니다. tests/providers/claude-agent-sdk-adapter.test.ts는 args[0]이 -p인지 확인합니다.

src/providers/claude-provider-rename-migration.ts 경고 - 옮긴 뒤 "이제 Claude Agent SDK를 구동한다"고 말합니다. 지금 행은 예전처럼 CLI 한 턴입니다.

tests/adapters/adapter-tool-conformance.test.ts TOOL_LESS_ADAPTERS - 이 어댑터를 도구 없는 목록에 둡니다. 지금 코드와는 맞고, 새로 고친 문서와는 어긋납니다.

메인테이너의 판단이 필요한 지점

이 행을 제품에 남길지입니다. 글은 Anthropic 약관에 어긋난다고 이미 말합니다. 행을 뺄지, 경고를 단 채로 남길지는 메인테이너 결정입니다.

SDK라고 적은 문장을 어댑터보다 먼저 합칠지도 결정입니다. 이름 변경과 약관 경고는 지금 코드로 설명할 수 있습니다. 세션, MCP, 프롬프트 이어 붙이기는 그 코드가 들어오기 전에는 문서에 있으면 사실이 아닙니다.

옛 id는 getProviderRegistryEntry 안에서만 새 id로 바뀝니다. 설정 맵의 키를 문자열로 직접 찾는 코드는 별칭을 타지 않습니다. 목적지에 행이 있어 이주를 거절한 경우에는 옛 키가 그대로 남습니다. 그 정도로 조회가 다 덮이는지 봐 주세요.

너의 추천

초안인 채로 두세요. 가이드, note, structure 맵, 이주 경고의 동작 설명은 지금 어댑터에 맞추세요. 도구를 끈 claude -p 한 턴입니다. SDK 세션 문장은 그 코드가 들어온 커밋에 같이 넣으세요. 약관 경고 문단은 어느 쪽이든 남기세요. 이름 이주가 부딪히면 손을 떼고 원본을 두는 쪽은 그대로 두면 됩니다.

Review answered against 7092d61c8

The review's central split was accurate when it was written: at 959ef1f92 the rename was in the code and the behaviour change was only in the prose. 7092d61c8 moves the behaviour into the code, so the findings below are resolved rather than argued away. The closing recommendation — stay in draft, put the SDK sentences in the commit that adds the SDK — is what happened. The argv-level bridge (#5795) is closed; the bridge now lives inside this provider.

buildArgs is gone. The adapter calls the Claude Agent SDK's query() (src/adapters/claude-agent-sdk/sdk-turn.ts:124). No argv, no staged prompt file, no --mcp-config: option assembly is src/adapters/claude-agent-sdk/sdk-options.ts (systemPrompt: { type: "preset", preset: "claude_code", append }, tools: [], settingSources: [], strictMcpConfig: true, persistSession: false), and the factory is createClaudeAgentSdkAdapter (adapter.ts:76). The args[0] === "-p" assertion no longer exists.

Docs, note, structure map, migration warning. docs-site/src/content/docs/guides/providers.md (section "Claude Agent SDK (subscription)"), the registry note in src/providers/registry/entries-extended.ts, structure/adapters/registry.md and the migration warning at src/providers/claude-provider-rename-migration.ts:95 all describe this code now. The structure sentence that the tests pin tools: [] and the MCP options is what tests/providers/claude-agent-sdk-adapter.test.ts asserts — 35 tests over option assembly, preflight, streaming and the bridge contract.

The tool channel. src/adapters/claude-agent-sdk/sdk-bridge.ts:59 starts an in-process MCP server (capabilities: { tools: {} }) registered as type: "sdk", advertising the request's own JSON Schema names, capturing calls and never answering one: nothing executes on the harness side.

TOOL_LESS_ADAPTERS in tests/adapters/adapter-tool-conformance.test.ts:422 — deliberate, and it stays. Every assertion that set skips reads the buildRequest wire body through outbound() (nested apply_patch helper, tool_choice: none tool surface, hostile streaming input, continuation replay). This adapter inherits contractParent: "codebuddy" (src/adapters/registry.ts:142) and expresses no tools on that path; codebuddy and qoder sit in the set for the same reason. Its tool behaviour is pinned by its own bridge tests. Removing the entry would not turn a currently-failing assertion green — it would point a body-level tool assertion at an adapter whose tools travel the SDK's MCP channel.

Alias coverage. resolveDeprecatedProviderId has exactly one in-tree consumer, getProviderRegistryEntry, and src/providers/deprecated-provider-aliases.ts documents the three paths it exists for: a config read that happens before the projection, a hand-typed ocx provider test claude-cli, and a row the projection refused because the destination was taken. Everything else is the migration's job, which is why it runs first in the shared startup pass and rewrites routed strings, bare ids and keyed maps. A refused migration leaves the old key alone on purpose — two rows can describe two different sign-ins, and half-moving that is worse than leaving a working config untouched. If you see a fourth path where a raw key lookup should resolve the alias, name it and it gets covered.

The maintainer decisions stay yours. The row keeps shipping for now because the construction it uses is the one Meridian uses: Anthropic's own harness owns the session, the prompt and the sign-in. The honest half is unchanged — the client is not Claude Code, the docs say the row is still a grey area, and anthropic-apikey remains the route without an interpretation question. Whether the row should exist at all, and whether src/providers/claude-cli-identity.ts (the claude-cli/<ver> replay against the Messages API) keeps shipping beside it, are maintainer calls.

One item needs a maintainer, and it is not a code change. hygiene and enforce-target report unsponsored_surface on package.json and bun.lock: this PR installs @anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk — the mechanism that moves the turn onto Anthropic's harness — and MAINTAINERS.md requires explicit security review for dependency installation. The check clears with the maintainer-sponsored label once that review has happened; this PR does not claim it. Everything else on the readiness checklist is done and the four boxes are ticked. Live evidence for both the adapter turn and the /v1/messages path end to end, tool call included, is in the description.

[robin-bially]

All four findings are addressed in c7a94f9e5

Each was verified against the code and fixed with a regression; the dependency one was fixed in the form the review suggested.

src/providers/claude-provider-rename-migration.ts:61 (major) - taken. The projection now moves only the row the retired preset seeded. A row that carries the retired name on another adapter (adapter: "anthropic", say) keeps its name, its transport and its billing, and every reference keeps pointing at it, because those name the operator's row rather than the retired preset. It warns instead, including that claude-cli now resolves to the renamed registry row, so renaming stays a deliberate act. Regression: leaves a user-named claude-cli row on another adapter alone.

src/providers/claude-provider-rename-migration.ts:57 (minor) - taken, one layer down. A refusal is about which of two rows survives, not about what an adapter id means, and the retired adapter is gone from the registry, so rewriting the string before a refusal return would still leave a hand-edited config broken. getAdapterDefinition (src/adapters/registry.ts:158) therefore resolves through the same deprecation table the provider-id lookup uses, and effectiveAdapterContract and createRegisteredAdapter inherit it. Regression: a refused row still names an adapter the registry can build, which builds the contract from the refused config's own adapter string. It also closes the alias-coverage question from the maintainer review: the adapter string and the provider id can no longer disagree about what claude-cli means.

src/adapters/claude-agent-sdk/sdk-options.ts:119 (security) - taken. Every turn now runs in an empty scratch directory created for it (mkdtemp under the system temp directory, in sdk-turn.ts), passed as Options.cwd and removed once the query has been reaped. A directory that cannot be created fails the turn (claude_agent_sdk_scratch_unavailable) instead of falling back to process.cwd(), so the preset's working-directory and git-status context can never describe the operator's tree. Two regressions plus a live run: text and tool turns still answer (3.5 s for the tool turn), zero orphan harness processes, no directory left behind.

package.json:80 - taken. @anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk moved to optionalDependencies and bun.lock was regenerated (the diff is exactly the section move, bun install reports no other change). The missing-package path is unchanged and already defined: the loader answers claude_agent_sdk_unavailable, and the provider guide now explains that the ~230 MB harness build is why the package is optional. The license question in the same finding is the security review this PR asks a maintainer for: hygiene and enforce-target report unsponsored_surface on package.json and bun.lock, and the check clears with maintainer-sponsored once that review has happened. This PR does not claim it.

Everything from the previous round was already resolved by 7092d61c8 (see the comment above). Verification for this head is in the description: typecheck, structure:check, privacy:scan and the file-size ratchet clean, 46 focused tests, adapter-tool-conformance and provider-registry-parity (70 tests) green, and bun test tests/ci-workflows at 1,350 pass with its two TEMP-root failures reproduced identically in a pristine origin/dev control worktree.

[devin-ai-integration]

Maintainer triage: priority: P1 — replaces a shipped provider path that violates Anthropic terms (compliance; touches auth/credentials, needs security review).

Criteria (P1): High: reproducible failure in a core path (routing, failover, account pool, streaming, usage, auth, install) with no clean workaround; or a small (<300 LOC) bug-fix PR for such a failure.

[robin-bially]

This PR is waiting on a security review, and the gate cannot ask you for it

hygiene and enforce-target are red on 64bbcd18d for exactly one code: unsponsored_surface on package.json and bun.lock. There is no code change that clears it — the check is path-based (.github/scripts/pr-sponsored-surface.cjs) and clears in only two ways. @Ingwannu, @lidge-jun: both are yours.

Worth knowing first: the gate's maintainer notification only fires when the readiness gate completes, and unsponsored_surface prevents that completion. maintainersPinged is still false on this PR, so the notification was never sent and nobody was told it is waiting. The checklist is 4/4, the branch is 0 commits behind dev, and this label is the only thing left.

What needs the review. The new optionalDependencies entry @anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk (the Claude Agent SDK) plus its platform package — the Claude Code build the adapter drives, ~230 MB unpacked per platform. bun install on this head is a no-op and the lockfile diff is exactly the section this entry moves. Everything else in the diff is the provider rename, its config migration, docs, and the adapter move from a hand-built claude -p command line to the SDK's query(), so Anthropic's own harness owns the turn.

Two ways to clear it, both maintainer actions:

1. Apply maintainer-sponsored once the review is done. hygiene and enforce-target go green, the gate lifts the draft itself and pings you for the merge.
2. Take the branch over. A maintainer's own push is exempt by design (authorHasPushPermission short-circuits the check), so the same change lands without the label. The six commits are ready to carry; add a Co-authored-by: Robin Bially trailer and say so, and I will close this PR once yours carries them.

I have not applied the label myself and will not — that review is yours, not mine to declare.

Why the timing matters. 2.65.0 shipped the previous turn: opencodex built the claude -p invocation itself, replaced the harness prompt and stripped the session, so the account risk sat with the user. That is the pattern Anthropic blocks accounts for. This PR is the correction — the harness runs the turn, the prompt is appended to its preset instead of replacing it, and the client's tools arrive as an in-process MCP catalog. It is still a grey zone, and anthropic-apikey remains the path with no interpretation question, but it is the difference between a subscription that keeps working and one that gets banned. Every day this sits unreviewed, the released provider keeps doing the thing we are trying to correct.

[robin-bially]

Update 2026-09-27 — withdrawn. @Ingwannu's response below is right: a maintainer-owned PR that lands the same two files moves the same supply-chain decision instead of answering it, and the path gate is doing its job. The dependency stays in this PR's diff. The review surface the reviewer asked for is now collected in the description under Supply-chain review surface.

A cheaper way to unblock this, if the dependency review is the sticking point

If the size or the nature of the review burden is what this is waiting on, the dependency and the provider do not have to land in the same pull request.

The blocker is path-based: the hygiene check reads the changed-file list and fires unsponsored_surface for package.json / bun.lock, which are 2 of this PR's 28 files. If those two files are already on dev when a PR opens, its diff holds no restricted path and the check cannot fire at all. I read the check source and simulated it against this branch: with the dependency on the base, the file list contains no restricted path.

So a maintainer-owned dependency PR unblocks this one completely:

--- a/package.json
+++ b/package.json
@@ -87,6 +87,7 @@
   "optionalDependencies": {
+    "@anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk": "^0.3.282",
     "wreq-js": "2.3.1"
   },

plus the 33-line lockfile section that bun install writes for it. Two files, one optional entry, no other change; bun install on the current dev reproduces the lockfile side exactly.

Why this is the smallest ask available:

• It is yours by construction. A maintainer's push carries the sponsorship, so the same two files need neither the label nor a judgement call about the provider.
• The review surface is two lines plus a lockfile section from a published package, not the 28-file diff.
• Harness semantics, the grey-zone framing and the anthropic-apikey comparison stay out of it. This is bun add --optional @anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk@^0.3.282 and nothing else.

Once it is on dev I rebase this branch, the two files drop out of the diff, and this PR goes green on its own — after which it is an ordinary provider review that can take as long as it needs, without a compliance clock on it.

The earlier two options still stand if you prefer them: maintainer-sponsored after your review, or carrying the branch outright. What does not work is anything on my side — the check reads paths, not content, and a version of this PR that avoided those two files while still importing the package would be hiding a dependency surface instead of declaring it, which is the opposite of what the check is for.

[Ingwannu]

Maintainer response on exact head 2874e34bb: I am not applying maintainer-sponsored yet. The path gate is doing its job; splitting the dependency into a maintainer-owned PR would only move the same supply-chain decision and must not bypass it.

Before sponsorship, the dependency surface needs an explicit review of the exact published SDK/platform packages and lock resolution: package provenance and license, install/postinstall behavior, executable download/update behavior, filesystem/network access at import and turn time, supported-platform fallback, optional-install omission, and the credentials/session boundary. The PR's legal/ToS interpretation is also not merge evidence by itself; keep the grey-area wording and API-key alternative until a maintainer records the policy decision separately.

The branch may remain draft while that review is pending. Do not remove the dependency from the diff merely to clear the path-based gate. Once supply-chain review is complete, the current migration and harness implementation still need exact-head CI and a final source review before approval.

[robin-bially]

The dependency surface, item by item

Understood on all three points. No maintainer-sponsored until the supply-chain review is done; the split into a maintainer-owned dependency PR is withdrawn — you are right that it moves the same supply-chain decision rather than answering it, and the path gate is doing its job. The dependency stays in this diff, and the branch stays a draft.

I have collected what is checkable from outside the vendor code into the description under Supply-chain review surface, keyed to the items you named: provenance and integrity as the lock and the registry record them, the absence of install scripts, where the executable actually comes from, an import-time probe, the per-turn option scoping that forms the filesystem/network boundary we control, the platform fallback, the optional-install failure path, and the credential/session boundary.

Two of those findings are yours rather than mine to decide, and I have not acted on either:

• There is no SPDX identifier anywhere in this chain, and the platform package ships "© Anthropic PBC. All rights reserved. Use is subject to the Legal Agreements outlined here: https://code.claude.com/docs/en/legal-and-compliance." — a vendor binary under Anthropic's own terms. If that is not an acceptable optional dependency for this repository to declare, the row goes back to requiring the operator's own claude and the dependency comes out.
• package.json declares ^0.3.282 while the lock pins 0.3.282 and 0.3.283 is already published, so a lockfile refresh moves a 222 MB binary with no code change here. Say the word and I pin 0.3.282 exactly.

On the remaining two steps you named: the legal framing stays as description context and is not offered as merge evidence — the grey-area wording and the anthropic-apikey alternative stay in the description and in the row note. For exact-head CI, this is a contributor PR, so repository workflows on this head sit at action_required until a maintainer approves them (Cross-platform CI, Service lifecycle and React Doctor on 2874e34bb); what runs from outside is green apart from the path gate — label and resolve-pr succeed, CodeRabbit reports Review skipped: draft pull request for this head, and hygiene/enforce-target are red for unsponsored_surface alone. The change-scoped local evidence for this head is in Verification, and I will re-run the full suite on the head that gets the final source review.

[lidge-jun]

Release train 4 triage (reviewed against dev 24b2f39 at head 1c39959; T4-P-5800): Hold pending owner/security decision. Current claude -p adapter is a one-shot constructed turn. The SDK replacement adds dependency and config migration; no safe adapter-only cherry-pick. Anthropic's current login guidance prefers API keys for third-party products and bars third-party traffic routed against subscription limits, while its June SDK article says a proposed separate-credit change was paused. This creates a policy question, not a legal ruling. Decide whether to retain any subscription proxy row, review SDK supply chain/migration, clear draft/hygiene gates, and run exact-head CI. The feature PR stays open for that work.
