Steps to reproduce
Ask a model like Fable to launch an Opus sub agent (even with Opus as the default subagent) and watch the Agents panel. It will start showing opus then after it starts working it will show sonnet.
Expected behavior
Agents panel shows the model the agent was configured with
Actual behavior
Agents panel shows sonnet for agent model regardless of what model the agent was launched with.

Doesnt seem like a bug, maybe its an issue with your own Claude Code / device?

Weird. Not sure if this adds context but this is over an ssh connection using t3. Maybe that's the cause. Will dig in further

Found it. Very sorry, Claude Desktop (which is what I came from) uses a different config file than the one t3's claude backend uses. I had configured a setting in the cli config that Claude Desktop never uses. When I switched to t3 it used that old config. No bug just a dark config I forgot about. Sorry for wasting the time
