What's Wrong?

When I try to use claude code with the latest upgrade with opus 4.8 as default, it no longer respects the setting env.CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_1M_CONTEXT in .claude/settings.json anymore

What Should Happen?

claude should have respected that settings and only use 200k context

Error Messages/Logs

Steps to Reproduce

  1. edit .claude/settings.json with env.CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_1M_CONTEXT to be 1
  2. Start using claude code, context will grow outside of the 200k context limit
