A server without these routes does not answer 404 with JSON. The unmatched
/api path reaches the OpenCode proxy, and OpenCode serves its embedded web UI
for anything it does not recognise — HTML, status 200 — so a client newer than
its server parsed a web page as JSON and put "Unexpected token '<', "<!doctype"
in the panel, naming neither the cause nor the remedy.
The client now checks the content type before parsing. A non-JSON answer on 2xx
or 404 blocks with "this server is older than the app, update it and refresh".
A non-JSON 5xx keeps its own failure: a server that answered badly is not a
server missing the feature, and sending that user to upgrade chases the wrong
thing.
