Research direction

No source file, test, or implementation entry point is identified. First reproduce the request from Windows PowerShell with Claude Code 2.1.201 and the Anthropic API after credit is added, recording the response and request ID. Done means the cause is isolated and either the API request succeeds or the missing billing/account evidence is documented.
