Model-name whitelist helper now recognizes claude-opus-4-5 and claude-haiku-4-5 as current model names

What

A function that checks whether a given model name string belongs to the current Claude model family now includes claude-opus-4-5 and claude-haiku-4-5, alongside the existing 4.0, 4.1, and 3.x model names.

Why

This keeps internal model-name recognition up to date so these model identifiers are treated as valid current models rather than being flagged as unrecognized.
