📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThis change adds transient task-level reasoning effort overrides. API metadata carries the override, the resolver applies precedence rules, task history stores the active value and source, and Anthropic adaptive requests include supported effort values.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to When a task is aborted, its final history can omit the active thinking-effort metadata introduced by this PR, making saved task state incomplete.

DTE series 2/5 — addresses the CodeRabbit review finding on Zoo-Code-Org#1338: when a task-local thinking-effort override is active, updateApiConfiguration() now re-captures the incoming profile's reasoningEffort as the restore value and re-applies the override on top of the new in-memory copy, so clearing the override restores the NEW profile value instead of the stale one. Additive: activation and clearing semantics are otherwise unchanged. Adds two regression tests (override active + profile switch restores new value; inactive updateApiConfiguration unchanged behavior).
DTE series 2/5 — addresses the CodeRabbit docstring-coverage warning on Zoo-Code-Org#1338 (33.33% < 80% across the functions touched by the diff): - AnthropicHandler.createMessage: documents the shared effective-effort resolution and the adaptive output_config.effort envelope (in-range only). - Task.dispose: documents centralized teardown incl. the transient task-local override reset. - Task.updateApiConfiguration: documents the override-preservation behavior (re-captured restore value + re-applied override on the new in-memory copy). Comment-only change: 30/30 patch lines and 10/10 branches unchanged; 317/317 tests and tsc --noEmit re-verified green.

A task reopened from history constructed a fresh Task with no runtime thinking effort, so the displayed and effective effort silently fell back to the settings value even when the task had a per-task override. - historyItemSchema: optional thinkingEffort + thinkingEffortSource - taskMetadata: accepts and spreads both (only when active) - Task.saveClineMessages: writes the active override via getRuntimeThinkingEffort() - Task ctor (historyItem branch): restores it via setRuntimeThinkingEffort, which also merges into the in-memory apiConfiguration copy and rebuilds the handler - spec: 4 new persistence round-trip cases (restore, no-op without effort, save writes effort, save omits effort while inactive)
packages/types compiles with node16 module resolution, where relative import specifiers need an explicit file extension (./model.js).

Summary
Part 2/5 of the Dynamic Thinking Effort (DTE) series (umbrella: #1329). This PR adds the task-local effort state, the per-request override channel, and the adaptive effort envelope on the main Anthropic handler — the backend foundation that later PRs (UI wiring, adaptive re-resolution, Bedrock/Vertex parity) build on.

src/api/transform/reasoning.ts)ADAPTIVE_OUTPUT_CONFIG_EFFORTS— the exact set the Claude 4.7+ adaptiveoutput_config.effortaccepts (low | medium | high | xhigh | max); the SDK type matches 1:1.resolveEffectiveReasoningEffort({ override, settingsReasoningEffort, modelDefaultEffort })— single shared precedence chain (strongest first): per-request override, then settingsreasoningEffort, then model default. Providers resolve the effective effort through it instead of duplicating precedence logic.3. Adaptive effort envelope (
src/api/providers/anthropic.ts)When a request is adaptive-thinking (
thinking.type === "adaptive", i.e.supportsReasoningBinary+enableReasoningEffort) and the resolved effective effort is in-range, the request now carriesoutput_config: { effort }in bothrequestParamsbranches (cached / 1M-context and default). Out-of-range values (none,minimal,disable, unset) omit the envelope so the API applies its own default.4. Task-local state (
src/core/task/Task.ts)setRuntimeThinkingEffort(effort, source?)/getRuntimeThinkingEffort()— task-scoped state following theupdateApiConfiguration()pattern: setting an effort merges it into the in-memoryapiConfigurationcopy (fresh object; the settings object handed in by the provider is never mutated) and rebuilds the handler so the next request reflects it.undefinedclears and restores the settings-derived value captured at activation.metadata.reasoningEffortat all fourcreateMessagesites (condense, context-window-retry condense, context-management, main request) via a single private metadata fragment helper.undefinedindispose()— the state never outlives the task.Tests

src/api/providers/bedrock.ts): the adaptive handler there sends a hardcodedoutput_config: { effort: "xhigh" }. Wiring it to the shared resolution point lands in a later series PR — do not change here.@anthropic-ai/vertex-sdkhas nooutput_configtype in its message-create params, so the envelope cannot be typechecked on that path today. Follow-up once the SDK ships it.Notes
anthropic.tschange composes with thethinking: { type: "adaptive" }request shape already on main; it does not depend on any unmerged branch. The envelope gating (thinking?.type === "adaptive") is shape-agnostic by construction, so it also composes cleanly with the related fix(api): surface adaptive thinking display and thinking_tokens for Anthropic models #1327 work.settingsschema changes (the value is intentionally non-persistable), no .changeset, no CHANGELOG edits.Summary by CodeRabbit
