The 400 reaches the caller as a `ModelHTTPError`, and no `AnthropicStaleThinkingBlockWarning` is emitted. The cause is the body shape `_is_stale_thinking_block_error` expects. It only matches the direct Anthropic API ## Source evidence - https://github.com/pydantic/pydantic-ai/issues/9479 (2026-09-30T17:57:51Z) — GitHub issue #9479 (OPEN) ## Freshness - classification: FRESH_7D - retrieved_at: 2026-10-02T09:33:42Z - scout_id: Ca013ce3322 ## Scout notes This Problem was published by the KFA Fresh Friction Scout from public sources.
