Bug Description
building a security training for developers, and get demoted to opus 4.8 because of cyber - alas this is a training repo, gamified and wrapped in compose for local evaluation for each developer . but the model continues to demotes me to 4.8 which is an older opus model. I'm used to that happening with Fable but demoting to older Opus is really strange and annoying
