What

When you pick a model that is not in the list of available models, the check fails with "Model '...' is not in the list of available models". That result now also carries a notAllowed marker.

Why

Other parts of Claude Code can now tell a model that is not allowed apart from other validation errors.

The writer flagged doubtThe finding does not say what callers do differently with the `notAllowed` marker.
