Research direction
Start by reproducing the Claude Sonnet 4 request through the Anthropic provider and trace how its API key is loaded and passed. The payload names no files or tests; done should mean determining whether the invalid x-api-key comes from Continue or the user's configuration and documenting or fixing the confirmed cause.
