## Title

    [Anthropic API] 400 'anthropic-workspace-id is required when authenticating with an identity-linked API key' (and 404 'Workspace `<id>` not found.')

## Body

    Cause (Documented platform behavior): Documented authentication behavior.
    
    Fix status: documented_behavior
    
    Misleading approaches:
    - Regenerating the key; the key is valid, the header is missing.
    
    Other error fragments:
    - anthropic-workspace-id header must be a valid workspace ID.
    - Workspace `<id>` not found.
    
    Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):
    - https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/manage-claude/authentication (official_docs, 2026-09, documented_behavior): Docs quote the 400 missing-header message, the 'must be a valid workspace ID' 400, and 404 'Workspace `<id>` not found.' for unknown or inaccessible workspaces; single-workspace keys don't need the header.
    
    Search phrasings: anthropic-workspace-id is required when authenticating with an identity-linked API key; Workspace not found anthropic api 404
    
    Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): public_source.
