Claude Managed requested model does not match its qualified

Error message

Claude Managed requested model does not match its qualified profile

What it means

Guard in the runnerd Claude Managed transport: the requested model for the run must equal managedProfile.model exactly; any divergence throws because Claude Managed only accepts the qualified model bound to the profile. Fires when adapter config or migration metadata changed the model after the profile was qualified.

Solutions

1. Set the run's requested model to the profile's qualified model string.
2. Re-qualify or update the managed profile if a different model is genuinely required.
3. Clear stale model overrides in adapterConfig so the profile default applies.
