What's Wrong?

What's Wrong?

The black banner adjacent to the input box (currently: Fable 5 is the most capable model and draws down usage much faster than Opus 4.8) reappears on every app start, even after dismissing it with the × button. Dismissal does not persist across restarts.

Environment

• OS: Windows 11 25H2 Build 26200.8655
• Claude Desktop version: Claude 1.17377.2 (e0ea9e) 2026-07-01T05:51:58.000Z

What Should Happen?

Expected Behavior

Dismissing the banner should persist across restarts.
