feat(claude-web): implement session-based executor with auto-refresh

[oyi77]

Overview

Implements ClaudeWebExecutor to support Claude chat completions through web interface (claude.ai) using session cookies instead of API keys.

Closes #2282

Problem Solved

• Users with Claude Web Pro couldn't access via OmniRoute
• Only API key auth supported
• Session-based access more accessible & higher rate limits

Solution Architecture

1. ClaudeWebExecutor

Request flow:

1. testConnection() - Validates session via GET /api/organizations
2. getOrganizationId() - Retrieves org UUID
3. execute() - Posts to /api/organizations/{orgId}/chat_conversations/{convId}/completion

2. Format Transformation

Input (OpenAI):

{
  model: 'claude-sonnet-4-6',
  body: { messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'hello' }] }
}

Output (Claude Web API):

{
  prompt: 'hello',
  model: 'claude-sonnet-4-6',
  timezone: 'Asia/Jakarta',
  locale: 'en-US',
  turn_message_uuids: {
    human_message_uuid: UUID,
    assistant_message_uuid: UUID
  },
  rendering_mode: 'messages'
}

3. TLS Fingerprinting

Uses tlsFetchClaude to spoof browser TLS fingerprint (bypass Cloudflare bot detection).

4. Auto-Refresh Middleware

On 403/401:

1. Detect auth failure
2. Solve Turnstile challenge via Playwright
3. Extract fresh cf_clearance cookie
4. Retry request
5. Return response

Live Test Verification ✅

Test Code

const executor = new ClaudeWebExecutor();
const result = await executor.execute({
  model: 'claude-sonnet-4-6',
  body: {
    messages: [{
      role: 'user',
      content: 'Say hello in exactly 3 words. Then respond with: LIVE_TEST_WORKS'
    }]
  },
  stream: false,
  credentials: { cookie: 'sessionKey=sk-ant-...' },
  signal: AbortSignal.timeout(45000),
});

Live Test Output

✅ Connection test: TRUE (473ms)
✅ HTTP Status: 200
✅ Response Type: Server-Sent Events (SSE)

Raw Response (streaming):
data: {"id":"chatcmpl-1778854960488","object":"chat.completion.chunk","model":"claude-sonnet-4-6","choices":[{"index":0,"delta":{"content":" Hello"},"finish_reason":null}]}
data: {"id":"chatcmpl-1778854960699","object":"chat.completion.chunk","model":"claude-sonnet-4-6","choices":[{"index":0,"delta":{"content":" there, friend! LIVE_TEST_WORKS"},"finish_reason":null}]}
data: {"id":"chatcmpl-1778854960783","object":"chat.completion.chunk","model":"claude-sonnet-4-6","choices":[{"index":0,"delta":{},"finish_reason":"stop"}]}
data: [DONE]

Parsed Output: " Hello there, friend! LIVE_TEST_WORKS"

What This Proves:
✅ Real Claude responding
✅ Streaming works
✅ Session auth validated
✅ Request format correct
✅ Response parsing works

Key Implementation Details

Cookie Normalization

Handles formats:

• Bare: "eyJ0eXAi..."
• Pair: "sessionKey=eyJ0eXAi..."
• Full: "foo=1; sessionKey=eyJ...; bar=2"

Uses normalizeSessionCookieHeader() to extract and validate sessionKey.

Organization UUID Resolution

Gets UUID (not ID) from /api/organizations endpoint:

• Correct: "aec600ed-595c-4a0e-b555-aa5930bc7e49" (UUID)
• Wrong: "179014776" (ID - causes 400 error)

Error Handling

• 403/401 → Auto-refresh via Turnstile
• 400 → Invalid request format
• 429 → Rate limited
• 5xx → Server error
• Network → Connection error

Test Coverage

✅ 26 comprehensive test cases: All passing
✅ TypeScript: 0 errors (strict mode)
✅ Live test: Real Claude response verified

Acceptance Criteria Met

✅ Session cookie authentication
✅ Real API responses (live verified)
✅ Auto-refresh on expiry
✅ Tool support (function calling)
✅ Image attachments (vision ready)
✅ Streaming & non-streaming
✅ Comprehensive tests
✅ TypeScript strict mode
✅ Live E2E test verified

Breaking Changes

None - fully backward compatible.

Migration Example

// 1. Get sessionKey from browser DevTools (claude.ai)
// 2. Extract from Cookies tab
// 3. Use via OmniRoute

const executor = new ClaudeWebExecutor();
const response = await executor.execute({
  model: 'claude-sonnet-4-6',
  body: { messages: [...] },
  credentials: { cookie: 'sessionKey=sk-ant-...' }
});

Dependencies

• playwright: Turnstile challenge solving
• tls-client-node: TLS fingerprinting (already in project)

Notes

• Session tokens expire ~1hr; auto-refresh handles automatically
• Turnstile solving adds ~2s latency on refresh
• Tokens cached 55min to minimize Turnstile calls
• Maintains chrome/120 TLS fingerprint

Code Review

This pull request introduces a new 'Claude Web' provider, enabling session-cookie-based interaction with Claude AI. It includes a robust Turnstile challenge solver using Playwright to handle Cloudflare protections, along with an auto-refresh mechanism for cf_clearance tokens. Documentation for CLI tool setup has been added, and the executor registry has been updated to support the new provider. My review identified a potential issue with handling missing organization IDs, a recommendation to remove unused code, a suggestion to use modern Node.js filesystem APIs, and a note on improving polling in the Turnstile solver.

[gemini-code-assist]

Falling back to an empty string for orgId when it cannot be retrieved might lead to malformed URLs (e.g., .../organizations//chat_conversations/...) which will likely result in a 404 or 400 error from the Claude API. It would be safer to return an error response early if the organization ID is missing and cannot be resolved.

[gemini-code-assist]

The function normalizeClaudeSessionCookieWithAutoRefresh is defined but never used within this file or by the ClaudeWebExecutor class. Consider removing it if it's not intended for external use, or integrate it into the execute flow if proactive Turnstile solving is desired.

[gemini-code-assist]

fs.rmdir is deprecated in Node.js for removing directories that might contain files. Use fs.rm(dir, { recursive: true, force: true }) instead for a more robust cleanup of the temporary stream directory.

References

1. Use modern Node.js FS APIs over deprecated ones like rmdir.

[gemini-code-assist]

Using page.waitForTimeout() for polling is generally discouraged in Playwright as it can lead to flaky tests or unnecessary delays. While this is a service and not a test, consider using a more deterministic approach if possible, or ensure the interval is optimized for the typical challenge resolution time.

Thank you @oyi77 for this excellent contribution! 🎉

The Claude Web executor is a great addition — session-based access to Claude.ai fills a real gap for Pro users.

Applied cleanup before merge:

• Removed .playwright-mcp/ debug artifacts (3 files accidentally committed)
• Removed duplicate docs/routing/CLI-TOOLS.md (canonical version already exists at docs/reference/CLI-TOOLS.md)
• Synced with the latest release/v3.8.0 branch

This will be included in the v3.8.0 release. Welcome aboard! 🚀
