Context

Claude Code v2.1.78 (confirmed still present in v2.1.81) added an ANTHROPIC_CUSTOM_MODEL_OPTION environment variable that allows users to specify custom model options.

Why This Matters

Hikari Desktop's config sidebar already exposes model selection. Supporting ANTHROPIC_CUSTOM_MODEL_OPTION would allow power users to configure custom or fine-tuned model variants that aren't in the standard model list.

Tasks

  • Research what ANTHROPIC_CUSTOM_MODEL_OPTION accepts and how it interacts with --model
  • Decide whether to expose this as a text input in ConfigSidebar.svelte or as an environment variable passthrough
  • Implement the chosen approach in the config UI and WslBridge env setup
  • Add tests for the new config option

References

  • Claude Code v2.1.78–v2.1.81 changelog
  • src/lib/components/ConfigSidebar.svelte
  • src-tauri/src/wsl_bridge.rs

Resolved in PR #263. Added custom_model_option: Option<String> to ClaudeStartOptions and HikariConfig, sets ANTHROPIC_CUSTOM_MODEL_OPTION env var in wsl_bridge.rs for both native and WSL paths, added TypeScript interface field, config sidebar text input, and wired through all start_claude invocations. ✨
