Wire the bot's AI chat pipeline (ai_functions.handle_response) to talk to
either OpenAI or the Anthropic Messages API, chosen by one active-config
switch. Behaviour on the default "gpt" config is unchanged.
constants.py:
* guarded `import anthropic` + CLAUDECLIENT (mirrors OPENAICLIENT), netrc
machine 'anthropic' / ANTHROPIC_API_KEY;
* CLAUDE_LATEST_MODEL / CLAUDE_CHEAP_MODEL (opus-4-8 / haiku-4-5);
* AI_CONFIGS + DEFAULT_AI_CONFIG loaded from an optional 3rd element of
system_gpt_settings.json (backward compatible - a 2-element file falls
back to built-in defaults, active "gpt"). Single switch: CONJURER_AI_CONFIG
env > settings "active" > "gpt".
ai_functions.py:
* provider_generate() dispatches to OpenAI (unchanged openai_call) or the new
_anthropic_call() (splits system out, alternating messages, max_tokens,
temperature omitted - Opus 4.8 rejects sampling params);
* AIError normalises both SDKs' exceptions into one category set so
handle_response keeps its single set of in-character error replies;
* select_model() reads the active config; legacy "gpt-4o" default auto-maps
to the active provider's model so the switch actually changes the backend;
* set_active_ai_config()/list_ai_configs() with best-effort persistence back
into system_gpt_settings.json index 2.
ai_commands.py:
* $gadaj_teraz <config> hybrid command (Vykidailo-gated) switches backend at
runtime;
* graceful guards when OPENAICLIENT is None: personal assistants (OpenAI
Assistants API) and DALL-E image gen degrade instead of crashing, so a
Claude-only deployment boots.
system_gpt_settings.json: add the configs block (gpt/claude/_template) as the
collection point for future backends. requirements_bot.txt: add anthropic.
bot.env.example: ANTHROPIC_API_KEY + CONJURER_AI_CONFIG. Unit tests cover the
message splitter, model selection, config listing, and error mapping.
