What

A "Sonnet 5 (1M context)" option now appears in the extended-context model picker, and the previous "Sonnet (1M context)" entry is renamed to "Sonnet 4.6 (1M context)".

Details
  • New entry: value: "sonnet[1m]" → "Sonnet 5 (1M context)" — "Sonnet 5 with 1M context window - for long sessions with large codebases"
  • Renamed entry: value: "claude-sonnet-4-6[1m]" → "Sonnet 4.6 (1M context)"
  • Sonnet 5 has native_1m support on all 3rd-party providers (Bedrock, Vertex, Foundry, Gateway); availability is checked per-provider against a new native_1m_3p capability flag
  • The "not available for your account" error message updated from "Sonnet 4.6 with 1M context is not available…" to "Sonnet with 1M context is not available…"
Evidence

New picker option (search for "Sonnet 5 (1M context)"); renamed entry (search for "Sonnet 4.6 (1M context)"); availability check function (search for "native_1m_3p")

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
