What's Wrong?
When the setting via /model is opusplan, Claude ignores the --model setting when running with --print.
This only happens when the configuration is "opusplan". If I use /model to set the model to Default or sonnet then the command-line override works properly.
What Should Happen?
Claude should always use the --model setting when provided, even when the regular config setting is opusplan.
