# Cline 4.1.8: Vertex model picker opens up, Yolo Mode removed

> Cline's Vertex integration stops filtering the model picker to a hardcoded global-endpoint list and lets you type any Vertex model ID, including Fable 5. The Yolo Mode toggle is gone — it was never read by the approval path — and existing Yolo/auto-approve-all setups are migrated to auto-approving every action so unattended runs keep working.

## What changed


- Manual entry of any Vertex model ID, including models not in the catalog
- Fable 5 supported on Vertex; its cost is reported as unknown rather than Anthropic list price (Vertex rates are region-dependent and the list price understated billing)
- Full model catalog shown for every Vertex region; choosing a model the region doesn't serve now fails at request time with recovery guidance in the error row
- Yolo Mode toggle removed; auto-approve menu is the only source of truth. Yolo/auto-approve-all users migrated to auto-approve every action
- Compaction summarizer now respects configured max output tokens
- Removed stale "Double-Check Completion" feature tip
