What changed

Claude Code substitutes the organization default when an account requests a restricted model. T3 still offered that model and displayed its name. On a Team account that disallows Fable 5, selecting it ran Opus 5 instead. This removes restricted catalog models from the provider snapshot and names them in Settings > Providers. Context: #8657.

The capabilities probe reads modelAccessCache from the config file selected by the spawned CLI's effective environment. It reads after initialization so a refreshed cache takes effect immediately, within the existing probe timeout and cache. A completed Claude check replaces the previous model inventory, preventing the boot snapshot from restoring omitted models. Incomplete refreshes retain that inventory while applying current custom-model settings.

Mobile preserves an existing thread's saved choice, so it could recreate a model missing from the snapshot. That saved row now uses the existing unavailable state: it cannot be selected or sent, and queued messages return to the composer. New tasks skip unavailable draft, project-default, and sticky selections. Failed refreshes keep the saved model unavailable; access restoration makes it usable again. This needs no contract or web change.

Boundaries and alternatives

  • Only explicit entitled: false entries restrict a model. Missing, unreadable, malformed, or relative config paths withhold nothing. Config paths preserve literal whitespace; dated API IDs normalize to catalog slugs.
  • Apply the cache only to first-party and gateway accounts. Bedrock, Vertex, Foundry, and unknown backends retain their catalogs. Explicit custom models remain listed.
  • Omission matches the existing CLI-version gate and Claude Code's picker. Adding an unavailable field to every provider model would require a contract and picker redesign.
  • The SDK initialization model list is curated; an absent model can still run. Its internal unavailable-model field describes a different restriction and is specific to the VS Code entrypoint. Per-model probes would add work to recurring health checks.
  • The managed-settings availableModels allowlist remains outside this change. Its substitution warning is handled by fix(server): update Claude Agent SDK to 0.3.260 #9135.

Evidence

Before, on the real restricted account:

Restricted models selectable before the fix

Current branch, using an isolated CLI fixture populated with a read-only copy of the real entitlement cache:

Organization picker without restricted Fable models

Personal account still offers Fable

Provider settings name the restricted models

The earlier real CLI 2.1.261 verification and account captures remain available in the prior revision. This pass read both real account caches without modifying them and used disposable state for browser checks.

Verification

  • On Node 24.13.1, 174 tests pass across ClaudeEntitlements, ClaudeCapabilitiesProbe, ProviderRegistry, web modelSelection, mobile modelOptions, thread-outbox, and thread-settings-sheet-state.
  • Regression tests reproduced stale entitlement reads, literal-path trimming, and both failed probes and mobile saved selections restoring restricted models before the fixes. Coverage includes first-party/gateway filtering, third-party fail-open behavior, custom models, and restored access.
  • Server and mobile tsc --noEmit pass with the compiler currently pinned on main. Changed-file formatting passes. Lint has no errors; the 17 mobile warnings match main.
  • Browser checks use a disposable environment with separate organization and personal provider instances. Composer, global and project default-model, text-generation, and source-control writer pickers honor the filtered inventory; provider settings explain the omissions.
  • Native iOS verification remains incomplete. Xcode 16.4 cannot resolve clerk-ios 1.3.6 because it requires Swift tools 6.2, and this machine has no simulator runtime. No successful native build or mobile screenshot is claimed.

Written by Claude Fable 5.1 in Claude Code; revised and verified by GPT-6 in Codex.

Note

Filter out organization-restricted Claude models from catalog

  • Adds readClaudeRestrictedModels to parse .claude.json and collect model slugs with entitled: false, resolving config via CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR or HOME; read/schema failures return an empty set
  • Normalizes dated Claude API model ids with toCatalogSlug so release-date suffixes do not block matching
  • probeClaudeCapabilities reads the entitlement set from the CLI environment and carries it in the capability snapshot
  • checkClaudeProviderStatus partitions first-party and gateway catalog models, removing restricted slugs and reporting their display names in provider status; Bedrock, Vertex, Foundry, and unknown backends keep the full catalog, and custom models always stay listed
  • shouldRetainMissingProviderModels now treats Claude like Antigravity/Codex, so a successful discovery replaces the cached inventory and omitted models disappear
  • Behavioral Change: ClaudeDriver.create now passes the provider-scoped FileSystem to the cached capability probe; first-party/gateway users with org restrictions will see fewer models in the picker

  • line 618: providerModelsFromSettings is called with only entitlement.entitled, then appends every configured custom model. A user can configure a custom model whose slug is a known restricted catalog model (for example claude-fable-5), which recreates a selectable entry that the preceding partition removed. Selecting it again lets the CLI silently substitute the organization default, so the chosen label does not match the model that runs. [ Already posted ]

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Claude model availability now reflects organization-level restrictions, with restricted built-in models hidden from selection and identified in provider status.
    • Existing selections remain unavailable when access is restricted, preventing unintended fallback to another model.
    • Custom models remain available, and restrictions are ignored for supported third-party backends.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved retention of model availability during incomplete provider checks.
  • Documentation

    • Added guidance explaining restricted Claude models and their behavior across platforms.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Claude entitlement data is read after initialization and used to filter restricted built-in models. Provider state preserves models during incomplete probes. Mobile selection logic marks omitted saved Claude models unavailable, and unavailable-model messages use generic provider wording.

Changes

Claude entitlement handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Read Claude entitlement cache
apps/server/src/provider/Drivers/ClaudeEntitlements.ts, apps/server/src/provider/Drivers/ClaudeEntitlements.test.ts
The server reads .claude.json, validates modelAccessCache, normalizes model ids, and returns explicitly restricted models. Tests cover path resolution, malformed data, and entry filtering.
Probe and partition restricted models
apps/server/src/provider/Drivers/ClaudeDriver.ts, apps/server/src/provider/Layers/ClaudeProvider.ts, apps/server/src/provider/Layers/ClaudeCapabilitiesProbe.test.ts, docs/user/providers-claude.md
Claude capability probing reads refreshed entitlement data after initialization. Supported API backends omit restricted built-in models, retain custom models, and report restricted models in provider status.
Retain and validate provider model state
apps/server/src/provider/Layers/ProviderRegistry.ts, apps/server/src/provider/Layers/ProviderRegistry.test.ts
Claude model inventories are retained during disabled, unauthenticated, or incomplete checks. Completed checks update restricted inventories and status messages.
Handle unavailable saved selections
apps/mobile/src/lib/modelOptions.ts, apps/mobile/src/lib/modelOptions.test.ts, apps/mobile/src/features/threads/NewTaskDraftScreen.tsx, apps/mobile/src/state/use-thread-composer-state.ts, apps/mobile/src/state/use-thread-outbox-drain.ts
Mobile treats omitted Claude selections as unavailable and prevents their reuse. Tests cover restriction, recovery, incomplete probes, and offline configurations. Alerts and queued-message text use generic provider wording.

One consistency finding on the web changes: the new isUnavailable flag reaches every ProviderModelPicker call site, but the matching disabled treatment only exists in ChatView. Details inline.

Context for this change is in #8657, per CONTRIBUTING's note that non-trivial changes should start as a discussion.

Leaving this in draft until the mobile row has a before/after capture to match the web ones.

Out of draft.

Correcting my earlier note about the mobile capture. I did attempt it. The Expo prebuild and pod install both completed, but the iOS build stops resolving packages because clerk-ios 1.3.6 needs Swift tools 6.2, which means Xcode 26. I had Xcode 16.4 and Swift 6.1.2. That matches the iOS 26.5 and iOS 27 simulators in your recent mobile PRs, so I assume this is expected and only affects me.

The mobile edit is 16 lines in ThreadSettingsSheet and modelOptions, covered by typecheck and unit tests. If you would rather it land separately, I am happy to pull it into its own PR and keep this one to server, web, and contracts.

Approvability

Verdict: Not approved

Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — This PR introduces new entitlement parsing and automatically removes organization-restricted Claude models from the existing picker and provider snapshots. Because the behavior is user-facing and spans the capability probe, provider status, and snapshot registry, it merits human review.

Rebased on main and reduced to a server-only change.

Two things moved since the last push. #9135 bumped the SDK to 0.3.260, which declares informational, and handled its warning level, so the notice half of this PR is gone. And rather than disabling restricted rows with a reason, which needed a contract field plus web and mobile rendering, the provider now leaves restricted catalog models out of its snapshot, the way it already leaves out models the installed CLI is too old for, and names them in the status detail. That is also what Claude Code's own /model menu does with entitlement-denied rows. The earlier consistency finding about the three settings pickers is moot as a result: there is no row to disable.

Entitlements now only apply on the first-party and gateway backends, matching the CLI, so a stale cache cannot hide Bedrock or Vertex models.

One more change surfaced while verifying against the real account: the registry merge retained every model the previous snapshot listed for Claude, so the boot-time snapshot's full catalog brought the withheld rows straight back. A completed Claude check now replaces the list, as a Codex refresh does since #9773. That also makes the existing version gate take effect at runtime.

Captures are from a disposable .t3 seeded from live data on the same build before and after.

Claude Code silently substitutes the org default for a model the account's
organization has not entitled, so an org that restricts Fable 5 left T3 Code
offering it as selectable, answering from Opus 5, and still labelling the
thread "Claude Fable 5". The picker had no way to know: the SDK's init model
list drops restricted rows rather than flagging them, so absence there cannot
be read as "restricted" (Opus 4.8 is absent from it and runs normally), and
the field that would carry them is internal to the VS Code extension.

Read the resolved per-model entitlements Claude Code caches in its global
config (`modelAccessCache`, the list its own `/model` menu is built from)
during the existing capabilities probe, and leave restricted catalog models
out of the provider snapshot, the way a model the installed CLI is too old
for is already left out. Clients then resolve a selection that pointed at a
restricted model to the provider default, so the label matches what answers.
The provider's status detail names the withheld models, as the version
upgrade message names a model the CLI cannot run yet.

Entitlements apply only on the first-party and gateway backends, as in the
CLI, so a cache left behind by an earlier claude.ai login cannot hide models
a Bedrock, Vertex, or Foundry account can run. Custom models stay listed.
Reading fails open otherwise: a missing, unreadable, or malformed cache
withholds nothing, one odd entry costs only itself, and only an explicit
`entitled: false` counts.

Thanks for the PR. We're not taking changes to the orchestration and provider layers right now: that part of the server is being rewritten for V2, and merging into the current code would either conflict with or be thrown away by that work.

Closing for now. If this is still an issue once V2 lands, please reopen (or open a fresh PR against the new code) and we'll take a proper look.
