## Background Safari and Firefox send the custom `User-Agent` value set by `HttpChatTransport`, which triggers a CORS preflight request. If the user's server doesn't include `User-Agent` in `Access-Control-Allow-Headers`, the request fails with: > Failed to load resource: Request header field User-Agent is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Headers. Chrome silently drops custom `User-Agent` values (see [Chromium bug #40450316](https://issues.chromium.org/40450316)), masking the issue. ## Summary - Removed `withUserAgentSuffix` and `getRuntimeEnvironmentUserAgent` from `HttpChatTransport` (`sendMessages` and `reconnectToStream`) - Provider API calls via `postToApi`/`getFromApi` still set `User-Agent` as before — those requests get sent to the AI Provider API endpoints which support the `User-Agent` header - Updated tests to remove the user-agent assertions for chat transport ## Manual Verification Tested with the ai-e2e-next example.
