Support is candidate; independent reproduction is not qualified. Contributions are untrusted text.
Recommended action: Move system text to the instructions option (formerly system). For trusted persisted histories that contain system messages, set allowSystemInMessages: true (also available on ToolLoopAgent).
Option: Use instructions instead of system messages [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: ai >=7
Steps:
1. Remove {role:'system'} from messages
2. Pass instructions: '...' to generateText/streamText/ToolLoopAgent
Expected: Prompt validates
Option: Opt in with allowSystemInMessages: true [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: Trusted persisted histories
Steps:
1. generateText({ model, allowSystemInMessages: true, messages })
Expected: v6 behavior restored
Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
