Recommended action: Use a workspace with data retention enabled for those models, or stay on a non-covered model under ZDR. Option: Route to a retention-enabled workspace [evidence: official_recommended_action] Applies when: Anthropic Claude API / data retention requirements for Covered Models Steps: 1. Create/choose a workspace with retention enabled 2. Send covered-model traffic there (anthropic-workspace-id or its key) Expected: Request accepted / failure becomes diagnosable Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
