Feature Request

The /buddy companion feature (introduced in v2.1.89) returns "buddy is unavailable on this configuration" in version 2.1.90.

Current Behavior

Running /buddy or /buddy on outputs:

buddy is unavailable on this configuration

Expected Behavior

The companion should work on Bedrock configurations, routing the small model calls through the Bedrock Haiku endpoint.

Environment

  • Claude Code Version: 2.1.90
  • Platform: macOS (darwin)
  • API Provider: AWS Bedrock (CLAUDE_CODE_USE_BEDROCK=1)
  • Haiku model configured: global.anthropic.claude-haiku-4-5-20251001-v1:0
  • companionEnabled: true in settings.json
  • Feature flag tengu_penguins_enabled: true
