A helper was also added to check whether a model string contains \"application-inference-profile\".\n\n**Why**\n\nThis is preparatory groundwork so Claude Code recognizes these model names if and when they become available, rather than treating them as unknown; it does not mean these models are usable now.\n\n- Area: Model Catalog\n- Names: `claude-opus-4-6`, `claude-opus-4-7`, `claude-sonnet-4-6`\n- Tier: Under the hood\n- Useful: 3\/5\n- Signal: 4\/5"}
