Model names with hidden or control characters are now rejected before being probed.

Before probing a model name against the server, the client now rejects names containing whitespace or Unicode control/format characters, guarding against spoofed or lookalike model names. This check is skipped when going through a gateway or a first-party endpoint that isn't clearly Anthropic's.
