[provider research notes]: SambaNova accepts the OpenAI json_schema shape, but strict:false is the only value with active enforcement today: the model uses best-effort matching against your schema. strict:true is accepted without error but has no additional behavioral impact at this time. If your pipeline requires guaranteed schema conformance, validate the response against the schema yourself instead of trusting the flag.

Context: SambaNova accepts json_schema and strict:true, but only best-effort schema matching is enforced today.
