+# Phase 10 — Broaden strict-tool-schema fallback regex
+
+**Estimated time:** ~10 minutes
+**Touches:** `lib/dispatch/adapter/minimax.rb`
+(specifically `strict_grammar_error?`).
+
+## Goal
+
+The Claude adapter retries a failed tool-using request with `strict:
+false` on tool definitions when Anthropic returns a 400 error like
+`"compiled grammar too large"` or `"schema too complex"`. The retry
+harness (`chat_streaming_with_strict_fallback`,
+`chat_non_streaming_with_strict_fallback`, the `@strict_disabled` flag)
+should be KEPT — it is harmless when not triggered and useful when it
+is.
+
+The matcher itself, currently keyed on Anthropic's exact wording,
+should be broadened so that an analogous MiniMax error message also
+fires the fallback. We don't yet know MiniMax's exact wording for this
+class of error (or whether they have one), so the new regex must be
+tolerant: match HTTP 400 responses whose error message mentions
+`grammar` or `schema` and a "too large" / "too complex" / "invalid"
+qualifier — case insensitive.
+
+## Steps
+
+### 1. Locate the matcher
+
+Find `def strict_grammar_error?` (or similarly named — search for
+`grammar` in `lib/dispatch/adapter/minimax.rb`). It currently looks
+like:
+
+```ruby
+def strict_grammar_error?(err)
+  return false unless err.is_a?(RequestError)
+  return false unless err.status_code == 400
+  msg = err.message.to_s
+  msg.match?(/compiled grammar too large/i) ||
+    msg.match?(/schema too complex/i)
+end
+```
+
+### 2. Broaden the regex
+
+Replace the body with a more tolerant matcher:
+
+```ruby
+STRICT_GRAMMAR_PATTERNS = [
+  /compiled\s+grammar\s+too\s+large/i,
+  /schema\s+too\s+complex/i,
+  /(?:grammar|schema).*?(?:too\s*(?:large|complex|big)|invalid|exceed)/i,
+  /tool[_\s-]?schema.*(?:too\s*(?:large|complex)|exceed)/i
+].freeze
+
+def strict_grammar_error?(err)
+  return false unless err.is_a?(RequestError)
+  return false unless err.status_code == 400
+  msg = err.message.to_s
+  STRICT_GRAMMAR_PATTERNS.any? { |re| msg.match?(re) }
+end
+```
+
+Place `STRICT_GRAMMAR_PATTERNS` as a module-level constant (visibility
+private to `Dispatch::Adapter::MiniMax` is fine; it does not need to be
+exposed externally).
+
+### 3. Confirm the retry harness still uses the predicate
+
+Find `chat_streaming_with_strict_fallback` and
+`chat_non_streaming_with_strict_fallback` (or whatever the harness
+methods are called). Both should call `strict_grammar_error?(error)`
+inside their `rescue RequestError => e` block. If they reference some
+older predicate name, update them to call the new one.
+
+DO NOT change the rest of the harness logic. The single-shot retry, the
+`@strict_disabled = true` latch, and the `disable_strict_tools: true`
+forwarding to `RequestBuilder.build` all stay.
+
+## Acceptance criteria
+
+- The matcher returns `true` for a `RequestError` with status `400` and
+  message `"compiled grammar too large for tool 'foo'"`.
+- The matcher returns `true` for a `RequestError` with status `400` and
+  message `"Tool schema is too complex"`.
+- The matcher returns `true` for a `RequestError` with status `400` and
+  message `"grammar exceeds maximum size"`.
+- The matcher returns `false` for a `RequestError` with status `400` and
+  message `"missing required field: messages"`.
+- The matcher returns `false` for a `RequestError` with status `429`,
+  even if the message contains `"grammar"` (status guard).
+- The matcher returns `false` for a non-`RequestError` exception.
+- `bundle exec rubocop --autocorrect-all` exits 0.
+
+## Verification
+
+Run `run_tests` with `project_path=reference/dispatch-adapter-minimax`.
+Rubocop must be clean. `strict_fallback_spec.rb` failures referring to
+the broader matcher (e.g. tests asserting it does NOT fire on
+"grammar exceeds maximum size") are addressed in phase 16. Other
+failures must be investigated.
+
+Test coverage for the new regex variants is added in phase 16. Do NOT
+add specs here.
