What's Wrong?

Description

The Claude Code UI displays "Opus 4.7 · 보통" in the model selector, but the system prompt explicitly identifies the model as Sonnet 4.6. This is a critical billing/transparency issue — users selecting Opus 4.7 may be charged Opus rates while receiving Sonnet 4.6 responses.

What Should Happen?

• UI model selection matches the actual backend model used
• OR clear documentation of fallback/routing behavior

Error Messages/Logs

**System prompt excerpt (auto-injected by Claude Code):**
> "You are powered by the model named Sonnet 4.6.
>  The exact model ID is claude-sonnet-4-6."

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open Claude Code
2. Select model "Opus 4.7" in the model picker
3. Start a new conversation
4. Ask the model: "What model are you? Check the system prompt for your model ID."
5. Model responds: claude-sonnet-4-6 (Sonnet 4.6)
6. UI still shows "Opus 4.7"
