Add dismiss button to announcement banners
Resolved 💬 2 comments Opened Jun 14, 2026 by Object-Orient Closed Jun 18, 2026
Description
The \"Claude Fable 5 is currently unavailable. Learn more\" banner sits directly above the input bar and cannot be dismissed. There is no close/X button or any way to hide it.
This banner appears even when Fable 5 is not selected as the active model — it's a global announcement shown to all users regardless of their configuration.
Problem
- The banner is persistent and takes up vertical space above the input bar
- There is no way to dismiss or close it
- It is not actionable for users who never used Fable 5 and are on a different model (e.g., Opus 4.6)
- Clicking "Learn more" does not dismiss it
Request
Add a close/dismiss button (e.g., an X) to announcement banners so users can acknowledge and hide them. Once dismissed, the banner should not reappear for the same announcement.
Environment
- Claude Code Desktop (Windows 11)
- Active model: Opus 4.6
- Banner: "Claude Fable 5 is currently unavailable. Learn more"
