What's Wrong?
I use Claude Code in Antigravity (VS Code fork)
Plan: Pro
Issue: Model picker has no plain "Sonnet 4.6" option. "Default" label says Sonnet 4.6 but resolves to claude-opus-4-6. The only Sonnet option is "Sonnet (1M context)" which uses extra usage instead of subscription usage.

Choosing any other model seems to work:

But, when I choose "Default (Recommended)", which is supposed to be Sonnet 4.6:

What Should Happen?
Claude Code should display "Switched to claude-sonnet-4-6" and switch to sonnet 4.6
There should be a non-1M "Sonnet 4.6" option in the dropdown
