What's Wrong?

When using /model to switch to Opus with Bedrock global inference profiles configured via ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_OPUS_MODEL, Claude Code ignores the configuration and uses the region-specific model ID instead.

Configured: global.anthropic.claude-opus-4-6-v1
Actually used: us.anthropic.claude-opus-4-6-v1

What Should Happen?

The /model command should respect the ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_OPUS_MODEL environment variable and use the configured global inference profile ID.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Configure ~/.claude/config.json:

```json
{
"env": {
"AWS_REGION": "us-west-2",
"AWS_DEFAULT_REGION": "us-west-2",
"CLAUDE_CODE_USE_BEDROCK": "1",
"ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_OPUS_MODEL": "global.anthropic.claude-opus-4-6-v1"
}
}

  1. Start Claude Code
  2. Run /model and select Opus
  3. Observe that us.anthropic.claude-opus-4-6-v1 is used instead of the configured global.anthropic.claude-opus-4-6-v1

Additional Information

The /model command appears to have region inference logic that overrides explicit global inference profile configurations. This prevents using cross-region global profiles via the /model command.
