Mark the Anthropic engine tier as presumed broken - #116
Merged
Conversation
… the shared derivation Five surfaces advertised the tier without qualification — the CLI flag in the quickstart, the engine tables in the library and architecture references, a "Shipped" status in the stack doc, and the agent instruction file. Its pinned model reached its published retirement date on 2026-06-15, so a reader following any of them lands on an opaque API error with nothing saying it is a known fault rather than their own setup. Marked as presumed non-functional rather than broken outright: the retirement date is documented, but no live call has confirmed it from here. Stating the inference as fact would be the same overreach in the other direction. Also records that kind derivation now lives in one exported function, so an engine implementer produces axes and calls it rather than carrying thresholds. Noted in the library reference because that is where someone implementing the protocol would look. Doc-only. No behaviour change. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Five surfaces advertise the Anthropic engine tier with no qualification:
docs/quickstart.md--engine anthropiclisted as an option to rundocs/library.mddocs/architecture.mddocs/STACK.mdCLAUDE.mdThe tier's pinned model reached its published retirement date on 2026-06-15. A reader following any of these gets an opaque API error with nothing indicating it is a known fault rather than their own key or network.
CLAUDE.mdis the worst of the five: an agent reads it and suggests the broken path.Marked unverified, not corrected to "broken"
The retirement date is documented; no live call has confirmed the failure from here — no API key in the environment and the host is outside the sandbox allowlist. Asserting "this is broken" would substitute one overreach for another, so the wording is "presumed non-functional, not verified against a live endpoint."
Restoring the tier is separate, tracked work. This PR only stops the docs advertising a capability that probably isn't there.
