What's Wrong?
If I set opusplan as my default model in settings.json and/or set /model opusplan within a Claude session, it sets claude-sonnet-4-5@20250929.
What Should Happen?
The documentation suggests it should be setting claude-sonnet-4-6, which is what I get if I select Sonnet from the /model dropdown.
