The new system merges environment variables from:\n- Local settings (`localSettings`)\n- Project settings (`projectSettings`)\n- Managed settings (`managedSettings`)\n\nThis allows for more flexible configuration management across different scopes.\n\nModel Support\n\n- **Added support for Claude 3.5 Sonnet v2 (October 2022 release)**:\n- First-party API: `claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022`\n- AWS Bedrock: `anthropic.claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022-v2:0`\n- Google Vertex: `claude-3-5-sonnet-v2@20241022`\n\nThe new model includes updated pricing:\n\n- Input tokens: $3 per million\n- Output tokens: $15 per million\n- Prompt cache write: $3.75 per million\n- Prompt cache read: $0.30 per million\n\nCost Tracking\n\n- **Improved unknown model cost handling**: When using models without known pricing information, the system now properly flags this with `hasUnknownModelCost = true` to alert users that cost calculations may be incomplete."}
