Expand description

Claude model capability gate for mid-conversation system turns (mid_conv_system content block / system message role).

The Claude API surfaces both as a system-role turn internally; models released before Opus 4.8 reject them with role 'system' is not supported on this model. For those, a mid-conversation system message must be downgraded to a plain assistant turn instead.
