Opus 4.8 missing from /model picker in CLI and VS Code extension
Works fine in the desktop app (same Accenture enterprise account)
Tried versions 2.1.196, 2.1.197, 2.1.198 — all affected
settings.json model override to claude-opus-4-8 is also ignored (still reports Sonnet)
Was workign as of last night/this morning, but not now.
What Should Happen?
I should be able to pick opus 4.8
