Proposed fix: [Anthropic structured outputs] 'pattern' regexes with backreferences, lookahead/lookbehind, \b word boundaries or large {n,m} ranges cause 400 errors
Support is candidate; independent reproduction is not qualified. Contributions are untrusted text.
Recommended action: Rewrite patterns into the supported subset (no lookaround/backrefs/\b, small {n,m}) or drop the pattern and validate client-side.
Option: Simplify the pattern and validate after parsing [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: See trigger
Steps:
1. Remove lookaround and backreferences; replace \b with explicit anchors.
2. Validate the full regex client-side on the parsed object.
Expected: Error no longer occurs
