fix(audio): make supportsNativeAudio model-aware for Claude-on-Vertex - #1798
Conversation
supportsNativeAudio(provider) decided purely from the provider NAME.
Vertex serves both Gemini (native inline audio) and Claude models
(routed to @anthropic-ai/vertex-sdk, whose request builder never reads
an audio part), so the gate reported "native audio supported" for a
Claude-on-Vertex request that could never actually receive one.
supportsNativeAudio now takes an optional `model`. On the Vertex aliases
only, a model is treated as Claude by the same test GoogleVertexProvider
routes by (isAnthropicModel: case-insensitive, anywhere in the id). A
stricter test, such as isGeminiProvider's startsWith("claude-"), calls
"Claude-Sonnet-…" or "publishers/anthropic/models/claude-…" Gemini while
Vertex sends them to Claude. AI Studio / bare "gemini" aliases are
unaffected, and a caller that omits `model` on Vertex keeps today's
behaviour.
All three call sites in messageBuilder.ts (buildMultimodalMessagesArray,
convertContentToProviderFormat, convertMultimodalToProviderFormat) now
pass `model` through; these were the only call sites in the tree.
Effect today: GoogleVertexProvider.stream() falls through to
BaseProvider.stream(), whose early multimodal detection runs
buildMultimodalMessagesArray — and so this gate — for any request with
file or audio input, but only to look for video frames before Vertex's
own executeStream() rebuilds the request from options.input; generate()
is overridden outright. So no Vertex wire request changes. What changes
is that a Claude-on-Vertex stream with audio no longer attempts an audio
transcode for a message that is discarded, and the gate stops giving
every other messageBuilder caller the wrong answer.
Adds a determinism-exception regression suite (Rule 15 allowlisted in
eslint.config.js) pinning: vertex+claude -> no native audio, including
ids Vertex routes to Claude that do not start with "claude-";
vertex+gemini and vertex with no model -> unchanged; google-ai/AI Studio
-> unchanged.

Description
What does this PR do?
supportsNativeAudio(provider)decided whether audio can be delivered as raw bytes from the provider name alone. Vertex fronts two model families: Gemini, which takes inline audio, and Claude, which is routed to@anthropic-ai/vertex-sdkand never reads an audio part. So the gate answered "yes" for a Claude-on-Vertex request that cannot receive audio.supportsNativeAudionow takes an optionalmodel. On the Vertex aliases only (vertex,google-vertex,googlevertex), a model counts as Claude by the same testGoogleVertexProviderroutes by:isAnthropicModelis case-insensitive and matches anywhere in the id. I didn't reuseisGeminiProvider: itsstartsWith("claude-")would callClaude-Sonnet-…orpublishers/anthropic/models/claude-…Gemini, while Vertex sends those ids to Claude. An adversarial review caught that in the first draft. AI Studio and baregeminialiases are unchanged. A caller that omitsmodelkeeps today's behaviour.Related Issues

Type of Change
Motivation and Context
Scope, stated plainly: this changes no current Vertex wire request.
GoogleVertexProvider.generate()is overridden outright.stream()falls through toBaseProvider.stream(). Its early multimodal detection does runbuildMultimodalMessagesArray, and so this gate, for any request with file or audio input. But it does so only to look for video frames, before Vertex's ownexecuteStream()rebuilds the request fromoptions.input.So audio still reaches Claude-on-Vertex only as the text summary / transcript, before and after this PR.
What changes is small but real. A Claude-on-Vertex stream with audio no longer attempts an ffmpeg transcode, or logs "added to content (native audio)", for a message that is thrown away. And every other
messageBuilder.tscaller stops getting the wrong answer fromsupportsNativeAudio("vertex").PR #1742 (
feat/video-file-support) addssupportsNativeVideo(provider)with the same provider-only shape; it deserves the same model check before or after it merges.Changes Made

A live call cannot distinguish the fixed decision from the old one (see above), so the suite asserts the gate's return values and the message builder's output shape directly.

Review follow-ups
input.contenttext items): answered on the thread. For Claude-on-Vertex the messages built there never reach the model, and the underlying gap predates this PR and applies to every provider, so it is not widened into this Vertex-scoped fix.Code Quality
