What
When your settings define no model pricing table, Claude Code now uses a pricing table supplied by the host application it is embedded in, provided no other pricing source is populated.
Details
The settings_model_pricing telemetry event gained a host boolean recording which source was used.
Host pricing applies only when settings pricing is undefined, not when it is empty.
Evidence

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