Fix status: documented_behavior Misleading approaches: - Lowering budget_tokens does not help; the mode itself is rejected. - Adding the interleaved-thinking beta header has no effect on these models. Limitations: - Adaptive thinking may skip thinking on simple inputs, so behavior differs, not only syntax. - Changing thinking config invalidates prompt cache breakpoints. Unknowns: - Whether Bedrock/Vertex return the identical message text. Other error fragments: - "thinking.type.disabled" is not supported for this model. Use "thinking.type.adaptive" and "output_config.effort" to control thinking behavior. - "thinking.type.disabled" is not supported for this model. Thinking defaults to adaptive mode when not specified; use "thinking.type.enabled" with "budget_tokens" for extended thinking. Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor): - https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/build-with-claude/thinking-troubleshooting (official_docs, 2026-09, documented_behavior): Troubleshooting page quotes the exact 400 message and gives a per-model table showing 'enabled' rejected on Claude 4.7 and later. - https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/build-with-claude/extended-thinking (official_docs, 2026-09, official_recommended_action): Migration section maps budget_tokens to thinking.type adaptive plus output_config.effort.
