- Around line 2003-2006: Update the content_block_start handling for the
fallback block to read its to.model value and assign it to model when it is a
string, so subsequent events identify the fallback model. Add coverage in the
midOutputHandoff test asserting runFinished(chunks)?.model equals fallbackModel.

Thanks for the PR, @andrewmcgivery! 🙌 @AlemTuzlak will take a look. Automated pre-review checks
Automated triage — a human review follows. |
…l with content_filter Add the fallbacks model option on the Claude 5 models that support Anthropic server-side fallback, and send the server-side-fallback beta header with it. A refusal that no fallback model served now finishes with finishReason content_filter and carries stop_details in rawEvent. Text after a fallback block starts a new text segment.
message_start names the model that declined. After a fallback block, take the serving model from its to.model so later events and RUN_FINISHED name the model that answered.
The mid-output test now requires both sentences and two text segments. fallbacks uses BetaFallbacksParam from the SDK.

⚠️ Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.Preserve the fallback boundary for the next turn.
This branch reads the
fallbackblock but emits no replayable representation of it. The assistant-history formatter therefore cannot put the block back in its original position. If a mid-output fallback has thinking blocks on both sides of that boundary, Anthropic rejects the next request when the block is omitted. Preserve the block and its order through stream storage and replay, or explicitly prevent replay of that unsupported history. (platform.claude.com)

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Read the finish reason from metadata.tanstack.
For the documented chat() stream, RUN_FINISHED carries the finish reason at chunk.metadata?.tanstack?.finishReason. The adjacent client example checks chunk.finishReason, so a refusal does not trigger the alert. Change the condition to read the metadata field. The supplied testing/e2e/src/routes/api.anthropic-refusal.ts handler uses that field too. (tanstack.com)

🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
Give each text segment its own message identity.
After a mid-output handoff, this reset causes another TEXT_MESSAGE_START, but the next segment reuses messageId and the earlier segment’s accumulatedContent. Consumers receive two starts for one message ID, and the fallback segment’s content includes the declining model’s text. Assign a new message ID and reset segment content when you start the fallback text segment. Extend the wire test to check IDs and each segment’s content, not only event counts.

modelOptions: { fallbacks: 'default' }on a Claude 5 model. A request that a safety classifier declines gets an answer from another Claude model in the same call. If no model answers, the run ends withfinishReason: 'content_filter'and the refusal category onrawEvent.🎯 Changes
fallbacksis a model option onclaude-fable-5,claude-fable-5-1,claude-opus-5,claude-opus-5-5, andclaude-sonnet-5-5. The type is the SDKBetaFallbacksParam. The adapter adds theserver-side-fallback-2026-07-01beta header.stop_reason: "refusal"finishes withfinishReason: 'content_filter'andrawEvent: stop_details. It is not aRUN_ERROR. A refusal is a 200 response.fallbackcontent block starts a new text segment. Events after that block useto.model.RUN_STARTEDand the first text segment stay on the model that declined.onChunksample.
