Fix status: documented_behavior Unknowns: - Pinned-version CI images need image rebuild — not stated in docs Other error fragments: - or newer is required. Run 'claude update' - is older than the minimum version required by your organization's policy - claude_code_version_too_old Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor): - https://code.claude.com/docs/en/errors#claude-code-does-not-support-this-model (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): Docs: 400 with code claude_code_version_too_old for per-model or org-policy minimum version.
