What's Wrong?

When in the web version of Claude Code and choosing Opus, there is high and max as effort options, but no xhigh. This is present as expected in the desktop version though.

The xhigh option should be available in the web too

Just tried using this and this is a deal breaker as xhigh is the sweet spot for Opus.
