Bug Description
Title: advisorModel: "fable" → advisor tool "unavailable" (no usable error / undocumented setting)

Environment:

  • Claude Code v2.1.170 (CLI)
  • Session executor / main model: Opus 4.8 (claude-opus-4-8[1m], 1M context)
  • ~/.claude/settings.json: "advisorModel": "fable", "effortLevel": "xhigh"

Repro:

  1. Set "advisorModel": "fable" in settings.json.
  2. Run a session on the Opus 4.8 model.
  3. Invoke the built-in advisor() tool.

Actual:

  • advisor() returns: "The advisor tool is unavailable. Do not try to use it again." …
