What's Wrong?

Setup:
Claude Code Desktop App: Claude 1.11847.5 (9692f0) 2026-06-09T17:34:27.000Z
Macbook Air M3
macOS Tahoe 26.4.1

I launch a Claude Code session on Fable 5, Ultracode (or Max)
My prompts were on reviewing my code generally to find bugs

I get this message
API Error: 400 tools.17.model: 'claude-opus-4-8' cannot be used as an advisor
when the request model is 'claude-fable-5'.

Tried to start the prompt with: "Without advisor", but still failed.

What Should Happen?

Claude Code session should resume normally.
