 # Changelog
 
+## v2.2.19
+- Add Claude Opus 4.8 (`claude-opus-4-8`) to the Claude model picker and make it the default Claude Code model used when no per-user model override is selected. The default can still be overridden with `CLAUDE_MODEL`, now documented in `.env.example`.
+
 ## v2.2.18
 - Fix the legacy Telegram send/edit path so replies default to Telegram HTML parse mode and go through the shared formatter, preventing raw `<b>`, `<a>`, and related tags from leaking in chat.
 - Preserve safe Telegram HTML tags before Markdown conversion, so underscores inside link URLs such as Higgsfield `wan2_2_video` are not misread as italics and do not break rendered links.
