claude-code-helpers -- Pin Claude Code to a Specific Model

Install pinned Claude Code launchers to keep using an older Opus model after Claude Code moves to a newer default. Your regular `claude` command continues to auto-update normally.

Launcher	Pins to	Claude Code	Model ID	Install dir (macOS/Linux)
claude47	Opus 4.7	2.1.153	claude-opus-4-7[1m]	~/.local/share/claude47
claude46	Opus 4.6	2.1.110	claude-opus-4-6[1m]	~/.local/share/claude46

claude47 -- Pin Claude Code to Opus 4.7

`install-claude47.sh` installs a pinned Claude Code launcher named `claude47`.

It is intended for users who want to keep running Claude Opus 4.7 after Opus 4.8 became the default, while leaving the regular `claude` command free to auto-update.

On macOS/Linux, the script installs:

• Claude Code 2.1.153
• Launcher command: claude47
• Default model: claude-opus-4-7[1m]
• Binary path: ~/.local/share/claude47/claude-2.1.153
• Launcher path: ~/.local/bin/claude47

(Native Windows install layout is described in the [Windows](#windows) section.)

The launcher sets `DISABLE_AUTOUPDATER=1` and `DISABLE_UPDATES=1`, so `claude47` stays pinned (background auto-updates blocked, and an explicit `claude47 update` is a no-op). Your normal `claude` command is not modified.
