The Default Model dropdown shipped hardcoded full IDs (claude-sonnet-4-5-*, claude-opus-4-6, claude-haiku-4-5-*) that go stale every Anthropic release. Switch to documented model aliases (opus, sonnet, haiku, opusplan, best) which auto-resolve to the latest version on the provider side, plus add the missing 1M-context toggle and a custom-ID escape hatch. Changes: - CLAUDE_MODELS now lists aliases with a supports1m flag per entry - ModelConfigEditor: add "Other (custom)" option with free-text input - ModelConfigEditor: add "Use 1M token context window" checkbox that appends/strips the documented [1m] suffix; auto-disables for Haiku - Tests updated to verify the alias contract and 1M-capability flags - Inline doc links to code.claude.com/docs/en/model-config Refs: tylergraydev#212

User-facing additions: - Model picker now uses Claude Code aliases (opus/sonnet/haiku/opusplan/best) with a 1M context toggle and a free-form "Other (custom model ID)" field for Bedrock ARNs / Vertex / Foundry IDs (#213). - Rules dropped into ~/.claude/rules/ or {project}/.claude/rules/ now show up in the UI via new global/project scanners (#200). Fixes: - Sync Config no longer wipes externally-managed configs (.mcp.json, claude.json, OpenCode/Copilot/Cursor/Gemini/Codex) — extends the #191 guard to all 7 writers and imports .mcp.json on project add (#204). - Skill/command/sub-agent writers emit `tags` as JSON arrays so they round-trip through the DB reader (#202). - PR builds from forks/Dependabot no longer fail on missing TAURI_SIGNING_PRIVATE_KEY (#203). - delete_rule_inner returns real DB errors instead of swallowing them as "row absent" (follow-up to #200). Internal: - Cargo clippy from 134 warnings to 0; CI now enforces -D warnings on --lib --tests (#205). All 1565 frontend tests and 2021 Rust tests pass.

Summary
The Default Model dropdown in Settings → Models shipped hardcoded full model IDs (
claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929,claude-opus-4-6,claude-haiku-4-5-20251001) that go stale every time Anthropic ships a new model. This PR switches to model aliases — Claude Code's documented mechanism for forward-compatibility — and adds the missing 1M context window toggle plus a custom model ID escape hatch.Why aliases
Per the Claude Code model-config docs:
Aliases (
opus,sonnet,haiku,opusplan,best) auto-resolve on the provider side, so the tool-manager no longer needs a release every time a new model lands. There's no authoritative client-side way to list available models without anANTHROPIC_API_KEY(subscription users may not have one), so aliases are the most robust choice.Changes
src/lib/types/claudeSettings.tsCLAUDE_MODELSnow lists aliases (opus,sonnet,haiku,opusplan,best) with asupports1m: booleanflag.src/lib/components/claude-settings/ModelConfigEditor.svelte[1m]suffix to the saved model ID. Auto-disables when a non-1M model (Haiku) is selected. Round-trips correctly throughsettings.model.src/tests/components/claude-settings.test.tssupports1mflag per model.Test plan

AVAILABLE_MODEL_SHORTCUTS(the "Available Models" multi-select) is unchanged — it already used aliases.SubAgentForm.sveltemodel picker is unchanged — it already used aliases.model-overrides.test.tsis unchanged — its fixtures use full IDs as map keys to test the override mechanism, which is still correct semantically.
