Preflight Checklist

What's Wrong?
Claude Code consistently returns a 404 error when trying to use the default Sonnet model:
{"type":"not_found_error","message":"model: sonnet"}
Switching to Opus using /model works immediately with no issues.
- Duration: 24+ hours
- Affects: Multiple devices (PC and phone)
- Sample request IDs: req_011CU599UgWFLvJuNcDQJdkU, req_011CU58QTCkrn8uekGm4N3EP
- Subscription: Max
Commands that fail with Sonnet but work with Opus:
- whoami
- Any default Claude Code command
The error suggests a model routing or availability issue on Anthropic's backend.
