What
When the model list Claude Code shows can't be fetched because the current credentials aren't allowed to read the server's model data, it now records a telemetry event, model_catalog_primary, with decision: 'off' and off_reason: 'credential_scope'. The event also logs the HTTP status and refusal code involved, before Claude Code falls back to its built-in, compiled-in list of models.
Why
This makes it possible to tell, from telemetry, specifically when a fallback to the built-in model list happened because of a credential's permissions, rather than some other failure.
