Claude Code Drops Todo/Task-Tracking Tools Entirely on Opus 4.8, Sonnet 5, Fable 5, and Mythos 5
Buried in the 2.1.233 notes: "Todo/task-tracking tools are no longer available on Opus 4.8, Sonnet 5, Fable 5, Mythos 5." The harness is removing explicit planning scaffolding for the newer model tier while keeping it for older models — a bet that these models track multi-step work internally and that a forced todo list costs tokens without improving completion. Anyone whose CLAUDE.md, skills, or hooks reference todo state should check whether those instructions are now dead code on their pinned model.
