What

Switches the no-flag claude-code default model from claude-opus-4-8 to claude-fable-5 — Anthropic's newly-released Mythos-class GA model.

Changes

  • services/sandbox/claude-app-wrapper.py: DEFAULT_CLAUDE_MODEL → claude-fable-5 — the functional default the claude CLI runs with when CLAUDE_MODEL is unset.
  • services/api/api/runtime_control.py: per-message header default → fable; added a fable alias and kept opus → claude-opus-4-8 as an explicit opt-back. --sonnet/--haiku aliases untouched.
  • Updated the 2 tests that pinned the old default.

Scope

Only the no-flag default changes. --opus, --sonnet, --haiku are unaffected; --opus remains the way to pin Opus 4.8.

Tests

pytest tests/test_claude_app_wrapper.py tests/test_workflow_engine_title.py → 28 passed.

Switch the no-flag claude-code default from claude-opus-4-8 to
claude-fable-5 (Anthropic's new Mythos-class GA model).

- claude-app-wrapper.py: DEFAULT_CLAUDE_MODEL -> claude-fable-5 (the
  functional default used when CLAUDE_MODEL is unset)
- runtime_control.py: per-message header default -> fable; add a
  'fable' alias and keep 'opus' as an explicit opt-back to
  claude-opus-4-8; --sonnet/--haiku untouched
- update the 2 tests that pinned the old default
