Per-model cost figures in config are now capped at 10,000 instead of allowing any finite positive number

What

When Claude Code validates per-model cost settings (input, output, cache-read, cache-write pricing), a cost value now must be no greater than 10,000. Previously any positive finite number was accepted; a config with a cost figure above 10,000 now fails validation instead of being allowed through.

Why

This catches unreasonably large cost values in configuration, which were likely typos or misconfigurations rather than intentional, by rejecting them at validation time instead of silently accepting them.
