Recommended action: Set anthropic-beta: compact-2026-09-04 as a client default header (or use client.beta.messages) for the whole conversation.
Option: Send the beta header on every request [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: Anthropic Claude API / on-demand compaction beta header
Steps:
1. Configure default_headers / betas on the client
2. Or always call client.beta.messages with betas=['compact-2026-09-04'] while the block is in history
Expected: Request accepted / failure becomes diagnosable
