chore(models): update Claude Opus metadata to 4.8 #177

@shiny-code-bot

Description

@shiny-code-bot

Objective

Update Every Code's Claude Opus-facing model/tool metadata for Anthropic's Claude Opus 4.8 release on May 28, 2026.

Anthropic announced Claude Opus 4.8 as available everywhere today: https://www.anthropic.com/news/claude-opus-4-8

Finish Line

Every Code references Claude Opus 4.8 wherever the current/latest Opus model is surfaced or selected, and stale Opus references are removed or intentionally preserved with a clear reason.

Current Status

State: Active
Next action: Locate all Every Code model metadata, defaults, docs, and tests that mention the current Claude Opus version.
Blocked by: None
Last verified: 2026-05-28

Scope

Acceptance Criteria

  • All current/latest Claude Opus references that should move are updated to Claude Opus 4.8.
  • Any intentionally retained older Opus references are clearly test fixtures, history, compatibility entries, or otherwise justified.
  • Relevant docs/tests are updated with the same model naming.
  • Required repository validation passes with ./build-fast.sh.

Relationships

Related to #178, which covers managed update detection for external agent CLI binaries.

Validation

  • Search for stale Opus references after implementation.
  • Run ./build-fast.sh from the repository root.

Decisions

  • Split from the external CLI updater feature so the model update can land quickly.

Open Questions

  • Which exact internal identifiers, aliases, or provider-specific names should map to Claude Opus 4.8?
