Summary

Claude on Bedrock Converse verifies the signature on every thinking block it receives and rejects any block without one — field absent gives "thinking.signature: Field required", field present but empty gives "Invalid signature". There is no wire shape that makes an unsigned block acceptable to Claude. This means that when a conversation is replayed through Bedrock Converse to a Claude model (e.g. after a mid-conversation model switch, or from an agentic client that strips signatures), unsigned reasoning blocks must be dropped entirely rather than forwarded. Nova and MiniMax behave oppositely — they reject a present-but-empty signature — so they continue receiving unsigned blocks with the field omitted.

Changes

  • convertBifrostReasoningToBedrockReasoning gains a requireSigned bool parameter; when true, any reasoningText block without a valid signature is skipped rather than emitted, and multi-summary entries beyond the first (which carries the signature) are also dropped
  • converseRequiresSignedReasoning(model) is introduced in utils.go to resolve the flag: the datasheet row wins when present, otherwise falls back to IsAnthropicModel family detection
  • The same guard is applied in convertBifrostResponsesMessageContentBlocksToBedrockContentBlocks for the Responses API path and in convertMessage for the Chat Completions path
  • ModelCapabilities gains BedrockRequiresSignedReasoning *bool (bedrock_requires_signed_reasoning) so individual model rows can override the family default in either direction
  • ModelCaps.BedrockRequiresSignedReasoning(fallback bool) resolves the capability with the same pattern as BedrockReasoningShape
  • The existing TestReasoningSignatureEchoedOnlyWhenNonEmpty test is moved to a Nova model ID, since on Claude an unsigned block is now dropped before the signature check is reached
  • New test file unsignedreasoning_test.go pins the behaviour end-to-end for both the Chat and Responses paths across Claude and Nova, covering unsigned drop, signed keep, multi-summary truncation, and Nova pass-through
  • New tests TestConverseRequiresSignedReasoningFamilyFallback and TestConverseRequiresSignedReasoningDatasheetWinsOverFamily cover the resolution logic

Type of change

  • Bug fix
  • Feature
  • Refactor
  • Documentation
  • Chore/CI

Affected areas

  • Core (Go)
  • Transports (HTTP)
  • Providers/Integrations
  • Plugins
  • UI (React)
  • Docs

How to test

go test ./core/providers/bedrock/... -run "TestUnsignedReasoningReplay|TestConverseRequiresSignedReasoning|TestReasoningSignatureEchoedOnlyWhenNonEmpty"
go test ./core/...

The new tests in unsignedreasoning_test.go cover the regression directly. Probed live against global.anthropic.claude-sonnet-4-6 on Converse on 2026-09-07 to confirm both rejection shapes.

Breaking changes

  • Yes
  • No

Related issues

Closes #6624

Security considerations

No auth, secrets, or PII implications. The change ensures that opaque encrypted thinking signatures Claude uses to verify its own output are not stripped or forwarded in an invalid state, which is consistent with Anthropic's documented security model for thinking blocks.

Checklist

  • I read docs/contributing/README.md and followed the guidelines
  • I added/updated tests where appropriate
  • I updated documentation where needed
  • I verified builds succeed (Go and UI)
  • I verified the CI pipeline passes locally if applicable

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved Bedrock Converse reasoning replay for model-specific signature requirements.
    • Claude models now omit unsigned reasoning blocks while preserving valid signed reasoning.
    • Nova and MiniMax models retain unsigned reasoning without empty signature fields.
    • Reasoning summaries preserve only individually signed content when required.
    • Responses now retain upstream reasoning summaries and encrypted content appropriately.
    • Preserved valid assistant turns and text when filtering unsigned reasoning.
    • Bedrock token usage now includes cached read and write tokens for more accurate prompt totals.
    • Behavior follows model capabilities, with family-based fallback when no explicit capability is available.

Walkthrough

Bedrock Converse replay now resolves model-specific signed-reasoning requirements. Claude filters unsigned reasoning blocks, while Nova and MiniMax retain them. Response rendering preserves upstream reasoning text and encrypted reasoning. Token accounting includes cached prompt tokens.

Bedrock reasoning handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Signing requirement resolution
core/schemas/modelcapabilities.go, core/schemas/modelcaps.go, core/providers/bedrock/utils.go, core/providers/bedrock/reasoning_replay_test.go
Adds the nullable capability flag and Anthropic-family fallback logic for signed reasoning requirements.
Reasoning conversion and response rendering
core/providers/bedrock/responses.go, core/providers/bedrock/utils.go
Preserves response reasoning as reasoningText or redactedContent, filters unsigned replay blocks when required, and preserves signatures.
Replay and end-to-end validation
core/providers/bedrock/unsignedreasoning_test.go, core/providers/bedrock/converseresponsereasoning_test.go, core/providers/bedrock/bedrock_test.go, core/providers/bedrock/reasoning_replay_test.go, tests/e2e/api/collections/provider-harness.json, tests/e2e/api/runners/lib/converse-hidden-reasoning.test.mjs, core/changelog.md
Adds coverage for Claude, Nova, response rendering, signature fallback, streaming replay, hidden reasoning, and updated conversion behavior.
Cached token accounting
tests/e2e/api/runners/lib/token-parity-matrix.mjs, tests/e2e/api/runners/lib/token-parity-matrix.test.mjs
Reconstructs full Bedrock prompt usage from cached and non-cached tokens and validates direct and Bifrost extraction paths.
Provider harness policy checks
tests/e2e/api/runners/lib/http-status-policy.test.mjs, tests/e2e/api/collections/provider-harness.json
Adds VM-based checks for ordinary and explicit HTTP status expectations and updates the response fixture namespace.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Severity of issue fixed: Medium

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 5ae6e

The implementation is broadly mergeable, but pooled request context should be cleared and the regression tests should be tightened to avoid false passes or failures.

- Around line 4816-4819: Update the response-rendering logic around
reasoningMessageHasText and ToBedrockConverseResponse so mixed reasoning
preserves both the ReasoningText and EncryptedContent/RedactedContent blocks
instead of selecting only the text conversion path. Ensure the conversion emits
both blocks in order, and add a round-trip test covering one ReasoningText block
plus one RedactedContent block.

In `@tests/e2e/api/runners/lib/token-parity-matrix.mjs`:
- Line 612: The token normalization logic around cacheRead and cacheWrite must
explicitly follow the Bedrock convention: treat inputTokens as the non-cached
remainder and calculate the full prompt as inputTokens plus cacheRead and
cacheWrite values, without subtracting cache totals based on the current
threshold condition. Use totalTokens minus outputTokens only when reliable, and
add fixtures covering remainder-only and cache-inclusive responses.
