What's Wrong?
Bug Description
Claude Pro subscription cannot access Opus 4.5 on macOS, but the same account works perfectly on Linux/WSL. This
contradicts official marketing materials claiming "Claude Code is included in your Pro plan...with access to both
Sonnet 4.5 and Opus 4.5."
What Should Happen?
## Expected Behavior
Both systems should have identical model access since they use the same Claude Pro subscription. Official marketing
states Pro plan includes "access to both Sonnet 4.5 and Opus 4.5" in Claude Code.
## Actual Behavior
macOS incorrectly restricts Opus access while Linux/WSL allows it with the identical subscription.
Error Messages/Logs
