 3. Call `WorkerResolveTrust` tool to unblock, or `WorkerRestart` to reset.
 
 **HTTP endpoint tracking:** Not scheduled. If a concrete use case emerges that file polling cannot serve (e.g. remote workers over a network boundary), open a new issue to upstream a `/worker/state` route to sst/opencode at that time. Until then: file/CLI is canonical.

+## Provider Routing: Model-Name Prefix Must Win Over Env-Var Presence (fixed 2026-04-08, `0530c50`)
+
+### `openai/gpt-4.1-mini` was silently misrouted to Anthropic when ANTHROPIC_API_KEY was set
+
+**Root cause:** `metadata_for_model` returned `None` for any model not matching `claude` or `grok` prefix.
+`detect_provider_kind` then fell through to auth-sniffer order: first `has_auth_from_env_or_saved()` (Anthropic), then `OPENAI_API_KEY`, then `XAI_API_KEY`.
+
+If `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` was present in the environment (e.g. user has both Anthropic and OpenRouter configured), any unknown model — including explicitly namespaced ones like `openai/gpt-4.1-mini` — was silently routed to the Anthropic client, which then failed with `missing Anthropic credentials` or a confusing 402/auth error rather than routing to OpenAI-compatible.
+
+**Fix:** Added explicit prefix checks in `metadata_for_model`:
+- `openai/` prefix → `ProviderKind::OpenAi`
+- `gpt-` prefix → `ProviderKind::OpenAi`
+
+Model name prefix now wins unconditionally over env-var presence. Regression test locked in: `providers::tests::openai_namespaced_model_routes_to_openai_not_anthropic`.
+
+**Lesson:** Auth-sniffer fallback order is fragile. Any new provider added in the future should be registered in `metadata_for_model` via a model-name prefix, not left to env-var order. This is the canonical extension point.
