What's Wrong?
When selecting "Default (Opus 4.5 · Most capable for complex work)" from /model,
Claude Code loads claude-opus-4-1-20250805 instead of claude-opus-4-5-20251101.
The /context command confirms the wrong model is loaded.
What Should Happen?
Selecting "Default (Opus 4.5)" should load claude-opus-4-5-20251101
