What's Wrong?
When using a model with the [1m] extended context suffix (e.g., claude-opus-4-6[1m]), set via ~/.claude/settings.json or the /model opus[1m] command, the VSCode extension does not reflect the [1m] setting in two places:
- Model picker: Shows
claude-opus-4-6as "Custom model" with no indication that[1m]is active /contextcommand: Shows105.2k / 200k (53%)instead of the 1M token limit. The terminal CLI correctly shows the 1M limit for the same configuration.
What Should Happen?
- The model picker should clearly indicate that
[1m]extended context is active (e.g.,claude-opus-4-6 · 1M context) - The
/contextcommand should display the correct 1M token limit, matching the terminal CLI behavior

Steps to Reproduce
- Set
"model": "claude-opus-4-6[1m]"in~/.claude/settings.json - Open VSCode with the Claude Code extension
- Click the model picker → shows
claude-opus-4-6as "Custom model" with no[1m]indicator - Run
/contextin the extension → shows105.2k / 200k (53%) - Run
/contextin the terminal CLI → correctly shows the 1M token limit

Additional Information
The /model command and settings.json both work correctly to configure the model — the actual model behavior appears to function as expected. This is a display-only bug where the extension UI fails to parse/reflect the [1m] suffix in both the model picker and context usage display.
