[FEATURE] Show Opus Plan in /model command options

Problem
When running /model, the interactive picker shows individual models (Sonnet, Opus, Haiku) but doesn't include composite model modes like "Opus Plan" (opusplan). Users who don't know about opusplan can't discover it through the UI. You have to already know about it and type it manually.
Proposed solution
Add opusplan (and any other composite modes) as selectable options in the /model picker. Each entry should show what it does — e.g., "Opus Plan — Opus for planning, Sonnet for implementation".

It would be nice to see it listed, but even if they do - it is currently completely bugged. It selects the wrong models

I am frustrated that this is not shown. I had to find out about this from first principles, breaking down the token cost problem myself, only to discover that it's already solved but not promoted. Probably because Anthropic doesn't want users to use it.
Why does Claude need to use Opus 4.7 when editing simple frontend components? This is a waste of tokens, a waste of energy, a waste of time, and a waste of money/quota depending on whether you use the API or a subscription. The feature exists. It works. And it's hidden behind a command you'd never discover unless someone tells you about it. When you activate it, it shows up in the picker. When you deactivate it, it disappears again. That's not a UX oversight, that's a deliberate choice.
Hiding a cost-saving feature from paying customers while defaulting everyone to the most expensive model is not acting with integrity.
Why is this ticket being ignored? It's been open since February. Thousands of other issues have been created since then and get automatic triage, labels, and responses within hours. This one has zero labels, zero acknowledgment from Anthropic. The fix isn't even adding an entry. The entry already exists in the picker with a display name. It's just flagged as hidden. It's literally changing one boolean. The impact for users would be huge.
Show opusplan in the picker by default. Let users make informed choices.
Yeah. That's my best guess, too. See context here:

Indeed. Especially now with Fable around (which I'm using as a planner).
I think this should be shown, it's helpful to be able to switch to it.
