Summary

Fixes #2074 — the issue's proposed diff with three small hardenings.

Root cause (per the issue's reproduction)

AgentRouter's gateway applies a language filter to the first user message content and hard-fails non-English prompts with 400 content-blocked — a mid-session hard failure for any Portuguese/Spanish/etc. first prompt routed to an AgentRouter-backed provider (AGR-OAI, AGR-CLA, or any baseUrl on agentrouter).

What this does

  • applyAgrLanguagePreamble prepends an explicit English instruction frame to the first user message: the frame says "respond in the appropriate language", so the original request and the model's output language are preserved while the boundary filter passes.
  • Idempotent — a marker check before every prepend means retries and replays never stack frames.
  • Handles all three content shapes the adapter emits: string content, structured content (prepends into the first text part), and content with no text part (inserts one).
  • Detection is isAgentRouterBaseUrl on the provider's hostname, so any configured AgentRouter-backed provider gets the frame, not just the registry preset.
  • Applied at the single request-build site (messagesToAnthropicFormat output) — the raw request and the tool-call id allocation are untouched.

Tests

tests/anthropic-agr-preamble.test.ts: hostname detection (positive/negative/malformed), string prepend, structured-content prepend, no-text-part insertion, idempotence (exactly one marker after double application), and the no-user-message no-op.

Note

The OpenAI adapter path doesn't need this (per the reproduction the filter is on the Anthropic-format gateway); if OAI-format AgentRouter routing shows the same 400, the same helper can be wired there in a follow-up.

(Couldn't run the bun suite locally on this Windows checkout; relying on CI.)

AgentRouter's gateway applies a language filter to the first user
message and hard-fails non-English prompts with 400 content-blocked
(lidge-jun#2074) — the 400 surfaced mid-session as a hard failure for any
Portuguese/Spanish/etc. first prompt routed to an AgentRouter-backed
provider.

Prepend an explicit English instruction frame to the first user
message when the provider's baseUrl resolves to AgentRouter. The
frame tells the model to respond in the appropriate language, so the
original request and the output language are preserved while the
boundary filter passes. The helper is idempotent (marker check) and
handles string content, structured content, and content with no text
part; applied at the single request-build site so raw requests and
tool-call ids are untouched.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The Anthropic adapter now detects AgentRouter base URLs and applies an idempotent language preamble to the first user message. Tests cover URL detection, string and structured content, insertion, no duplication, and missing user messages.

Changes

AgentRouter language preamble

Layer / File(s) Summary
Preamble detection and mutation
src/adapters/anthropic.ts, tests/anthropic-agr-preamble.test.ts
The adapter detects AgentRouter hostnames and updates the first user message. The preamble supports string content, text-block arrays, arrays without text blocks, repeated application, and absent user messages.
Request construction integration
src/adapters/anthropic.ts
Formatted messages receive the preamble when the provider base URL targets AgentRouter.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 8c1ab

The change can currently rewrite requests sent to unrelated hosts and can fail to add the required framing when the marker appears later in user text, potentially causing rejected requests or incorrect prompt handling. Merge should wait for these bounded routing and correctness fixes.

Restrict AgentRouter detection to an approved hostname boundary.

Line 831 enables the preamble for any hostname that contains "agentrouter". For example, notagentrouter.example and agentrouter.org.attacker.example match. This violates the requirement to apply the transformation only to AgentRouter providers and changes prompts sent to unrelated providers.

Use an allowlist or an exact AgentRouter domain boundary. Add negative tests for substring and suffix-confusion hostnames.

Proposed fix
 export function isAgentRouterBaseUrl(baseUrl: string): boolean {
   try {
-    return new URL(baseUrl).hostname.includes("agentrouter");
+    const hostname = new URL(baseUrl).hostname;
+    return hostname === "agentrouter.org" || hostname.endsWith(".agentrouter.org");
   } catch {
     return false;
   }

Detect an existing frame only at the start of the text content.

Lines 849 and 857 use includes(). If a non-English request quotes AGR_PREAMBLE_MARKER later in its text, the helper skips insertion even though the content does not start with the required English frame. AgentRouter can then still reject the first message.

Use startsWith(AGR_PREAMBLE_MARKER) in both branches. Add a regression case where the marker occurs after non-English text.

Proposed fix
-    if (!firstUser.content.includes(AGR_PREAMBLE_MARKER)) {
+    if (!firstUser.content.startsWith(AGR_PREAMBLE_MARKER)) {
       firstUser.content = `${AGR_PREAMBLE_MARKER}\n\n${firstUser.content}`;

리뷰 · 우선순위 26 / 80

AgentRouter 게이트웨이가 첫 유저 메시지를 영어가 아니면 400 content-blocked로 죽이는 #2074를 우회한다. 첫 유저 메시지 앞에 영어 프레임을 붙여 필터는 통과시키고, 프레임은 “적절한 언어로 답하라”고 해서 출력 언어는 유지한다. 아이디어는 한 48이다. 지금 점수는 26이다. draft, 체크리스트 0/4, hygiene unsponsored_surface다. package.json 버전을 2.25.0으로 올리는 줄이 원인이다.

구현은 src/adapters/anthropic.ts다. isAgentRouterBaseUrl()new URL(baseUrl).hostname.includes("agentrouter")다. applyAgrLanguagePreamble()은 첫 user 메시지를 찾아 문자열이면 앞에 마커를 붙이고, 구조화 content면 첫 text 파트에 붙이며, text가 없으면 text 파트를 unshift한다. 마커가 이미 있으면 그대로 둔다. 호출은 messagesToAnthropicFormat 직후, isAgentRouterBaseUrl(provider.baseUrl)일 때만이다. OpenAI 어댑터는 안 건드린다.

테스트는 hostname 양/음, 문자열 prepend, 구조화 prepend, no-text insert, idempotent, no-user no-op를 본다. agentrouter가 호스트 아무 데나 들어 있어도 true다. not-agentrouter.example나 서브도메인 위조는 이 파일에 없다. 패치는 추측하지 않음. 게이트웨이 필터가 프레임을 진짜 통과시키는 라이브 증명은 이 diff에 없다.

버전 bump는 #2099와 같은 실수다. 릴리스 서피스를 열어서 스폰서가 필요해진다. 로컬 bun 스위트는 Windows에서 안 돌렸다고 적혀 있다. 프롬프트를 바꾸는 우회라서, 필터 회피 정책은 메인테이너가 한 문장으로 인정해야 한다.

해결방안

package.json 버전 bump를 되돌리고 draft/체크리스트를 채워라. hostname 매칭은 exact/suffix로 좁히고 위조 호스트 테스트를 추가하라. OpenAI 경로는 재현이 나오기 전에 열지 마라. 그 전엔 머지하지 않는다. 필터를 “속이는” 프리앰블은 스폰서 한 줄이 필요하다.

Thank you @yzxcj797 — absorbed as #2162, and the approach is yours: the framing belongs in the first user turn, because AgentRouter's filter reads that turn and an Anthropic system string never reaches it. That diagnosis was right and it is what the replacement implements.

Two things changed on top of your patch.

Host matching. isAgentRouterBaseUrl used hostname.includes("agentrouter"), which also matches notagentrouter.example and agentrouter.org.attacker.example. Since this feature injects an instruction into an outbound prompt, the predicate keys a prompt mutation on a provider's identity — so it has to match that identity exactly. #2162 accepts agentrouter.org and its real subdomains only, with both spoof shapes pinned by tests.

Where the marker goes. Your version spliced it into the user's own string:

firstUser.content = `${AGR_PREAMBLE_MARKER}\n\n${firstUser.content}`;

That rewrites what the user wrote, so logs, retries, and any upstream echo show a sentence they never typed as if they had — the concern raised in #1804. #2162 adds the marker as its own leading text block instead, converting a string to blocks when needed. Same signal to the filter, and the original text survives byte-for-byte.

Also: idempotence is now keyed on the leading block being exactly the marker rather than a substring test, so a user who quotes the marker mid-prompt does not accidentally suppress their own framing.

Your branch was marked CONFLICTING only because of an inherited package.json bump to 2.25.0 — the Anthropic hunks themselves merge cleanly against dev. Worth knowing for next time: cutting the branch from dev rather than the release line avoids that entirely.

Full suite 13529 pass / 0 fail. Closing this in favor of #2162, with the fix credited to you.

…non-English

AgentRouter answers 400 content-blocked when the first user message is
not in English (lidge-jun#2074) while the identical English request returns 200.
The gateway inspects the opening user content, so an Anthropic system
string never reaches the filter -- the framing has to sit in that turn.

Two corrections on top of @yzxcj797's lidge-jun#2082.

The host test was hostname.includes("agentrouter"), which also matches
notagentrouter.example and agentrouter.org.attacker.example. A prompt
mutation keyed on a provider's identity has to be keyed on that identity
exactly, so this matches agentrouter.org or a real subdomain of it.

The original spliced the marker into the user's own string. That edits
what the user wrote: logs, retries, and any upstream echo then show a
sentence the user never typed as if they had. The framing is now its own
leading text block, so the original text survives byte-for-byte.

rather than a substring test, so a user who quotes the marker later in
