FIG-4121:1

`Claude Opus 4.8` is now generally available in `GitHub Copilot`

A stronger coding model is now inside the editor workflow. Test it on hard refactors and generation-heavy tasks; daily value depends on latency and plan access.

[ KEY POINTS ]
  1. Claude Opus 4.8 is Anthropic's latest Opus model, now generally available in GitHub Copilot.
  2. Early GitHub testing says code understanding and generation improved clearly; verify on your own repo before switching defaults.
  3. Best first use cases: complex file edits, unfamiliar codebase reading, and generation-heavy tasks where model quality beats speed.
