Recommended action: Read the Response: clause; fix the gateway hop returning non-API bodies; complete captive-portal sign-in; if only non-streaming route is broken set CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_NONSTREAMING_FALLBACK=1; upgrade past v2.1.271 for text/plain gateways. Option: Read the Response: clause; fix the gateway hop returning non-API bodies; complete captive-portal sign-in; if only non-streaming route is broken set CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_NONSTREAMING_FALLBACK=1; upgrade past v2.1.271 for text/plain gateways. [evidence: official_recommended_action] Applies when: Non-streaming retry of a failed stream through an intercepting proxy, gateway, or Wi-Fi sign-in page Steps: 1. Inspect the Response: clause (HTML/no request-id/nginx => intermediary answered) 2. Test gateway with a direct request 3. Complete guest Wi-Fi sign-in 4. Optionally CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_NONSTREAMING_FALLBACK=1 5. Upgrade to >= v2.1.271 if gateway uses text/plain Expected: The error no longer appears.
