No adapter found for protocol

Error message

No adapter found for protocol "${metadata.protocol}"

What it means

The injection pipeline maps a request's metadata.protocol (e.g. openai, anthropic) to a registered adapter via this.adapters.get(). When no adapter is registered for that protocol key, process throws immediately before parsing. This prevents unrecognized request formats from entering the pipeline.

Solutions

1. Check the protocol value in the failing request and compare with the keys registered via pipeline.registerAdapter / the adapters map
2. Fix the client/SDK configuration so it uses a supported protocol string
3. Register an adapter for the protocol before processing requests
4. Add startup validation that logs registered protocols to catch key mismatches early

Example fix

// before
pipeline.process(body, { protocol: "openai-chat" });
// after
pipeline.process(body, { protocol: "openai" }); // matches registered adapter key

const SUPPORTED = new Set(pipeline.adapters.keys());
if (!SUPPORTED.has(metadata.protocol)) {
  throw new Error(`protocol '${metadata.protocol}' not supported; use one of: ${[...SUPPORTED].join(", ")}`);
}

function hasAdapter(pipeline: Pipeline, protocol: string): boolean {
  return pipeline.adapters.has(protocol);
}

When it happens

Trigger: Calling pipeline.process(body, metadata) where metadata.protocol is a string not present in the adapters map — e.g. typo'd protocol name, a new protocol used before registerAdapter, or protocol omitted/undefined.

Common situations: Clients pointing the proxy at an unsupported API surface (e.g. sending gemini-style payloads to an openai-only proxy); after upgrading the library, protocol key renamed (e.g. 'openai' -> 'openai-compat'); custom adapters not registered during bootstrap.
