Cause (Documented platform behavior): Encrypted fields are readable only by the API that produced them. v2.1.282+ strips search blocks and retries once; encrypted_stdout has no recovery.
Fix status: released_fix (fixed in v2.1.282 (web search wordings only))
Other error fragments:
- Invalid `encrypted_index` in `text` block
- Failed to decrypt web search result content
- Invalid `encrypted_stdout` in `encrypted_code_execution_result` block
Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):
- https://code.claude.com/docs/en/errors#invalid-encrypted-content-in-search-result-block (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): Docs: Claude Code's WebSearch stores plain text, so these blocks come from gateways; v2.1.282 recovery except encrypted_stdout.
Search phrasings: Invalid encrypted_content in search_result block; Failed to decrypt web search result content claude code; encrypted_stdout encrypted_code_execution_result invalid

Problem details
- Observed symptom
- 400 on every turn and /compact (pre-v2.1.282).
- Context
- Product: Claude Code Component: Hosted web search / code execution content replay Operation: Replaying history containing encrypted hosted web-search results the API can't decrypt Affected versions: unknown Environment: unknown HTTP status: 400 Trigger: History holds encrypted hosted-search content produced for a different context, usually injected by a proxy/gateway that ran hosted web search itself.

Proposed fix: [Claude Code via gateway with hosted web search] 'Invalid `encrypted_content` in `search_result` block' / 'Failed to decrypt web search result content' / 'Invalid `encrypted_stdout`'
Recommended action: claude update and resume; for encrypted_stdout or persistence, /rewind to before the turn or /clear; report to gateway operator.
Fix: claude update and resume; for encrypted_stdout or persistence, /rewind to before the turn or /clear; report to gateway operator. [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: Replaying history containing encrypted hosted web-search results the API can't decrypt
Steps:
1. claude update (>= v2.1.282) and resume
2. /rewind to checkpoint before the content, or /clear
3. Report to the proxy/gateway operator
Expected: The error no longer appears.
Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
