f7c20c4731 Switch query generator to use Anthropic Sonnet on the backend (#41521)
## Summary

Closes #41466

- Adds Anthropic Claude API support to the `prompt.js` AI helper,
detecting `claude-*` model names and routing to the Anthropic Messages
API (`https://api.anthropic.com/v1/messages`) with proper authentication
headers
- Switches both LLM calls in the query generator
(`get-llm-generated-sql.js`) from OpenAI models
(`gpt-4o-mini-2024-07-18` for schema filtration, `o3-mini-2025-01-31`
for SQL generation) to `claude-sonnet-4-6-20260218`
- Adds `anthropicSecret` config placeholder in `custom.js` (set via
`sails_custom__anthropicSecret` env var in production)
- Updates the query generator UI to reference "Anthropic" instead of
"OpenAI"

### Changes

| File | What changed |
|------|-------------|
| `website/api/helpers/ai/prompt.js` | Added Anthropic API branch
alongside existing OpenAI logic; system prompts use Anthropic's
top-level `system` parameter |
| `website/api/controllers/query-generator/get-llm-generated-sql.js` |
Both model references changed to `claude-sonnet-4-6-20260218` |
| `website/config/custom.js` | Added `anthropicSecret` config
placeholder |
| `website/views/pages/admin/query-generator.ejs` | Updated copy from
"OpenAI" to "Anthropic" |

### Deployment notes

The `sails_custom__anthropicSecret` environment variable must be set
with an Anthropic API key before deploying this change.

Testing locally

Deploying the website

To deploy changes to the website to production, merge changes to the main branch. If the changes affect the website's code, or touch any files that the website relies on to build content, such as the query library, osquery schema, docs, handbook, articles, etc., then the website will be redeployed.

Wondering how this works? This is implemented in a GitHub action in this repo. Check out the code there to see how it works! For help understanding what sails run and npm run commands in there do, check the scripts in website/package.json and in website/scripts/.

Changing the database schema

To deploy new code to production that relies on changes to the database schema or other external systems (e.g. Stripe), first put the website in "maintenance mode" in Heroku. Then, make your changes in the database schema. Next, if you have a script to fix/migrate existing data, go ahead and run it now. (e.g. sails run fix-or-migrate-existing-data). Then, merge your changes and wait for the deploy to finish. Finally, switch off "maintenance mode" in Heroku.

Note that entering maintenance mode prevents visitors from using the website, so it should be used sparingly, and ideally at low-traffic times of day.

Warning: Doing an especially sensitive schema migration? There is a potential timing issue to consider, thanks to an infrastructure change that eliminated downtime during deploys by using Heroku's built-in support for hot-swapping.

Wiping the production database

I hope you know what you're doing. The "easiest" kind of database schema migration:

sails_datastores__default__url='REAL_DB_URI_HERE' sails run wipe

Then when you see the sailboat, hit CTRL+C to exit. All done!
