Issue: #4260

Acceptance Criteria

  • runtime-command.ts launcher-field producers always return a resolved effort
  • initCodexHome requires effort and CodexRuntime.spawnAgent resolves it; gpt-5.5 row stops at xhigh
  • Codex app-server launcher and host use the resolved effort with no default
  • Runtime spawnAgent producers (ohmypi, muse, kimi-code, acp) pass a resolved effort
  • Kimi translation requires a resolved effort and K3 rows list canonical levels
  • ACP host sets OpenCode and Kimi effort from the launch value with no default
  • Pi launcher emits --thinking from the resolved effort and throws when it is missing
  • Muse producers resolve effort and the muse launcher drops its default and level guard
  • Harness effort table and CLIProxy finding in harnesses.mdx; align harness-landscape.mdx and effort.mdx
  • Drop the five PAN-4260 adapter rows from scripts/lint-effort.sh and re-label the extension rows

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Model reasoning effort is now resolved against each model and launcher’s supported levels before launch.
    • Kimi K3 accepts all five canonical effort levels, with Medium and Extra High translated to the corresponding native levels.
    • Pi and Muse map Max to Extra High. Launches that require an effort now report an error when none is provided, rather than silently defaulting to High.
    • OpenCode preserves custom effort values and reports an error when a model requires effort but none is provided.
  • Documentation

    • Added guidance on effort support, delivery, clamping, and model-specific behavior across launchers.

getCodexLauncherFields now resolves effort once and passes the same
value to initCodexHome and codexEffort (fixes F2: work-TUI config.toml
previously wrote the raw, unresolved effort, losing role/sub-role
effort). getAcpLauncherFields and getKimiCodeLauncherFields no longer
return effort conditionally — they always resolve through
resolveEffort (OpenCode variants still pass through unchanged, D4).

Mapping-table tests use subRole 'security' rather than the PRD's
literal `undefined`: with subRole undefined, role 'review' resolves
roles/review.md (which exists) and getRoleRuntimeBaseCommand routes
through roleSystemPromptInjection, which injects the raw effort
unclamped. Using a sub-role with no definition file routes through the
resolveEffort/clamp branch instead, which is what the table is meant
to exercise. The role-file branch's unclamped effort is a latent,
separate issue, not in this item's scope (W1 touches only the three
runtime-command.ts producers).

…esolves it

InitCodexHomeOpts.effort is now required and config.toml writes it
without a fallback (fixes the silent 'high' default when a caller
omitted effort). CodexRuntime.spawnAgent now resolves effort through
resolveEffort before calling initCodexHome (fixes F3-equivalent gap:
it previously called initCodexHome(codexHomeDir) with no effort at
all).

Deviation from the PRD: D6 ("gpt-5.5 gets effortLevels: ['low',
'medium','high','xhigh']") is dead code and was dropped. The PRD's F5
finding (gpt-5.5 unrestricted, max reaches Codex) is stale relative to
its own verification commit: MODEL_DEPRECATIONS['gpt-5.5'] =
'gpt-5.6-sol' (bef903e, already an ancestor of b8853b4)
redirects every getModelEffortLevels('gpt-5.5') call to gpt-5.6-sol's
row (which already lists max) before any 'gpt-5.5' row is read, and
settings-model-catalog.ts separately filters deprecated ids out of
the model picker entirely. An effortLevels row on 'gpt-5.5' is
unreachable from both paths. Dropped the gpt-5.5 mapping test
accordingly; kept the gpt-5.6-sol identity table. An explicit
`--model gpt-5.5` launch still sends `max` to Codex today —
requireModelOverride does not resolve deprecated ids — but fixing
that is a lookup-or-launch design decision outside this item's scope
(touch InitCodexHomeOpts/spawnAgent/gpt-5.5 row only). Flagged to the
flywheel orchestrator for a follow-up decision.

Item: w2-codex-home-effort

Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
launcher-codex-command.ts throws 'codex app-server launcher requires
codexEffort' instead of falling back to 'high' when building the
app-server host argv. app-server-host.ts: CodexAppServerHostOptions.effort
is now required, the constructor no longer defaults it, set-effort
validates via isEffortLevel instead of a copied level-list literal, and
main() throws before constructing the host if --effort is missing.

Mapping tests cover all five EFFORT_LEVELS for set-effort and the launch
argv (via resolveEffort on gpt-5.6-sol, consistent with W2's finding that
gpt-5.5 is a dead alias for clamp purposes — see w2 commit). Added the
missing-codexEffort throw test and backfilled codexEffort: 'high' into
the four existing launcher-generator.test.ts app-server fixtures that
previously relied on the removed '?? high' fallback.

Item: w3-codex-app-server-effort

Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
OhmypiRuntime.spawnAgent, MuseRuntime.spawnAgent, KimiCodeRuntime.spawnAgent,
and AcpRuntimeSync.spawnAgent all previously forwarded config.effort straight
into the launcher/argv, so an unset effort reached the ohmypi launcher with no
piEffort at all (F3), and acp/muse/kimi-code producers would have started
throwing once their downstream emitters stop defaulting (W5-W8). Each now
resolves through resolveEffort({ explicit: config.effort, model: config.model,
harness }) before building its launcher config or command argv.

acp.ts resolves effort once and reuses it for both the OpenCode --effort flag
and the Kimi native-effort translation (previously resolveKimiNativeEffort got
the raw, unresolved config.effort).

No new tests in this item — W5-W8 add the per-harness mapping tables that
exercise these producers end to end; this item is covered by the existing
spawnAgent suites (acp.test.ts, kimi-code.test.ts, ohmypi.test.ts,
muse-support.test.ts, runtime-herdr-supervisor-delivery.test.ts,
is-running-liveness.test.ts — all still green) plus npm run lint:circular
(no new cycle through resolve-effort.js's config-yaml/projects imports).

Item: w4-runtime-spawn-producers

…levels (F4)

resolveKimiNativeEffort no longer defaults effort to 'high' — callers pass a
level already resolved by resolveEffort, and a missing value for a K3 model
now throws instead of silently using the CLI default.

model-capabilities.ts: 'kimi-code/k3' and 'kimi-code/k3-256k' now list all
five canonical effort levels (previously ['low','high','max'], the native
set), matching the ACP ids 'k3'/'k3[1m]'. Since PAN-4249, a producer that
resolves through resolveEffort clamps BEFORE resolveKimiNativeEffort
translates, so the old native-set row made clampEffort('medium', ...)
collapse to 'low' and 'xhigh' collapse to 'high' before translation ever
ran — losing the documented mapping (medium->high, xhigh->max). Fixed by
listing canonical levels on the row and letting translation (not clamping)
narrow them.

Also fixed 7 pre-existing acp/host.test.ts fixtures that constructed a Kimi
K3 AcpHost with no `effort` field: resolveKimiNativeEffort now throws for
those once the model is a K3 variant and effort is undefined, so each
fixture gets `effort: 'high'` (matching the behavior they were already
asserting). This overlaps with W6's planned host.test.ts fixture backfill;
fewer should remain when W6 runs.

Item: w5-kimi-effort

…ort option

host.ts no longer falls back to "high" when an OpenCode model exposes an
effort config option — it throws "OpenCode launch requires --effort when
the model exposes an effort setting" if none was given, matching D2 (every
path that always emitted a value now fails loudly instead of defaulting).
The Kimi branch needed no code change; it already throws via W5's
resolveKimiNativeEffort once a K3 host starts without --effort.

Tests: an OpenCode effort mapping table over all five canonical levels, a
non-canonical variant pass-through, the new missing-effort rejection, and
the existing ACP Kimi resume table extended from three native values to
all five canonical levels translated via resolveKimiNativeEffort before
asserting stub.setThinking. Backfilled effort: 'high' into the one
existing OpenCode fixture that relied on the removed default.

Item: w6-acp-host-effort

Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
buildOhmypiCommand now throws 'ohmypi launcher requires piEffort' instead
of falling back to 'high' when config.piEffort is unset, matching the
pattern already used for piSessionDir. launcher-generator.ts lands at
exactly 1000 lines (NFR-2 ceiling); the check is a one-line guard with no
braces to stay within budget.

Backfilled piEffort: 'high' into every existing ohmypi fixture in
launcher-generator.test.ts and launcher-context.test.ts, added a pi
mapping table over all five canonical levels (max clamps to xhigh per the
ohmypi harness row), and the missing-piEffort throw test.

Also fixed 7 pre-existing kimi-code fixtures in launcher-generator.test.ts
that broke from W5's kimi-effort.ts change (resolveKimiNativeEffort now
throws for K3 models with no resolved effort) — missed in W5 because only
kimi-effort.test.ts and acp/host.test.ts were run there, not this file.
Each gets kimiCodeEffort: 'high', matching the behavior already asserted.

Item: w7-pi-launcher-effort

Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…uard

launcher-generator.ts: the muse branch no longer defaults museEffort to
'high' or re-validates it against a copied level list — both are now
resolveEffort's job upstream. Net zero line change (NFR-2: the file stays
at exactly 1000 lines).

spawn.ts, spawn-prep.ts, and spawn-planning-session.ts each resolve
effort through resolveEffort before building their museEffort field,
instead of forwarding the raw, possibly-undefined value. These three
files are shared with the open PAN-4256/4257/4258 siblings; only the
museEffort: line and its resolveEffort import changed in each.

Tests: muse-support.test.ts gets a mapping table over all five canonical
levels (max clamps to xhigh, matching the ohmypi/muse harness row), the
missing-museEffort throw test, and museEffort: 'high' backfilled into the
one fixture that relied on the removed default. The pre-existing
"requires an explicit model" test already throws before reaching the
effort check (the model check comes first in buildMuseCommand), so it
needed no change.

Item: w8-muse-effort

… finding

configuration/harnesses.mdx: new "How each harness receives effort"
subsection with the nine-row mechanism/value table, the resolve-and-clamp
note (a missing resolved effort now fails loudly, never silently defaults),
the Pi/Muse max-clamps-to-xhigh note, and the CLIProxy finding (F7:
claude-code-routed GPT honors --effort end to end; no follow-up needed).

reference/harness-landscape.mdx: the Kimi K3 paragraph now states that
Overdeck stores canonical levels and translates at launch, so Medium
launches as High and Extra High as Max on both the native and ACP routes.

configuration/effort.mdx: the Clamping section's Pi/Muse note is rewritten
to explain the harness-row ceiling (not a blanket "never accept max") and
links to the new harnesses.mdx subsection; "What honors it today" gets a
bullet for the per-adapter fix; the now-closed #4260 row is removed from
the sibling-issues table.

Deviation from the PRD text: no "GPT-5.5 stops at xhigh" line was added,
and the table's Codex row omits a GPT-5.5-specific xhigh note. D6 (an
effortLevels row on gpt-5.5) turned out to be dead code (see the
w2-codex-home-effort commit) — gpt-5.5 is a deprecated alias of
gpt-5.6-sol in the model catalog, so its effective levels and clamping
come from that row, not from anything set on gpt-5.5 itself. The docs
state that explicitly instead of repeating the stale claim.

Item: w9-docs

Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
W1-W8 removed every effort fallback and enum copy in
src/lib/runtimes/codex.ts, src/lib/acp/host.ts,
src/lib/codex/app-server-host.ts, src/lib/launcher-generator.ts, and
src/lib/launcher-codex-command.ts, so their BASELINE rows drop to zero
matches and are deleted. The two Pi/ohmypi extension ThinkingLevel-union
rows stay (native API vocabulary, not an effort-enum copy) with their
trailing comments updated from "# PAN-4260" to name what they are, and
the header's false-match sentence now covers all three rows (the tone
enum plus the two extension unions). The sibling-issue range in the
header drops #4260 (#4253, #4255-#4260 -> #4253, #4255-#4259) since this
issue is done.

bash scripts/lint-effort.sh exits 0 with no "lower BASELINE" note.

Resolved conflicts:
- .overdeck/context/codebase/concerns.md: kept both landmine notes (this
  issue's effort-clamp-order note and main's PAN-4506 Herdr UTF-16 note).
- configuration/effort.mdx: kept both "What honors it today" bullets (this
  issue's per-harness-adapter bullet and main's PAN-4258 planning bullet).
- scripts/lint-effort.sh: PAN-4258 landed on main and removed its own three
  BASELINE rows (spawn-planning-session.ts, plan.ts, PlanDialog.tsx); this
  issue's W10 already removed its five rows on this branch. Kept the union
  of both removals — only strike.ts, conversation-runtime.ts, and the two
  Pi/ohmypi extension rows remain.
- src/lib/planning/spawn-planning-session.ts: PAN-4258 landed a single
  `resolvedEffort` computed once near the top of spawnPlanningSession and
  reused for every launcher field (codex, ohmypi, kimi-code, prime, and
  now muse). Took main's side entirely — it supersedes this issue's local
  single-line museEffort fix — and dropped the now-unused duplicate
  resolveEffort import this issue's commit had added.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Launch producers now resolve effort against model and harness capabilities. Launcher and host code require resolved effort instead of applying several local defaults. Kimi K3 supports five canonical effort levels and maps them to native values.

Changes

Harness effort resolution

Layer / File(s) Summary
Resolve effort in launch producers
src/lib/agents/runtime-command.ts, src/lib/agents/spawn*.ts, src/lib/runtimes/*, src/lib/agents/__tests__/runtime-command-effort.test.ts, src/lib/runtimes/__tests__/codex.test.ts
Agent and runtime launch paths resolve effort for the selected model and harness. Codex uses the resolved effort for both home configuration and launcher output.
Require resolved effort at launch boundaries
src/lib/codex/*, src/lib/acp/host.ts, src/lib/launcher-generator.ts, src/lib/launcher-codex-command.ts, src/lib/__tests__/*, src/lib/acp/__tests__/host.test.ts
Codex, OpenCode, Kimi, Pi, and Muse launch paths no longer substitute a local high default when effort is missing. Codex app-server validation uses the shared effort-level validator. Pi and Muse map max to xhigh.
Update Kimi K3 levels and translations
src/lib/kimi-effort.ts, src/lib/model-capabilities.ts, src/lib/__tests__/fixtures/pre-opencode-model-catalog.json, src/lib/__tests__/kimi-effort.test.ts, reference/harness-landscape.mdx
Kimi K3 rows add medium and xhigh to the canonical levels. Native and ACP launch tests cover canonical-to-native translation.
Document and track effort behavior
configuration/*.mdx, scripts/lint-effort.sh, .overdeck/context/codebase/concerns.md, .pan/drafts/PAN-4260.md, .pan/continues/PAN-4260.xbrief.json, .pan/specs/*
Harness references describe effort delivery, capability limits, and Kimi translation. The lint baseline and PAN records document related checks, decisions, and work status.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 5baf7

The launch changes appear mergeable, but the GPT-5.5 acceptance criterion should be updated so it does not claim coverage of an unimplemented clamp.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 5baf7

The inspected changes centralize launch settings and reject missing values without demonstrating increased access or weakened permissions. Compatibility and recovery behavior outside the inspected paths remain partly unverified.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The inspected changes affect launch configuration and provider settings within existing local runtime contexts. Codex contexts retain their existing shared global authentication linkage, so they are not independent credential boundaries. No new cross-account or network exposure was established by these changes.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Inspected launch emitters shell-quote effort arguments or environment values. Kimi translation allowlists native outputs, and the Codex control listener checks its bridge token. These controls constrain the inspected input-to-command and input-to-control paths; they do not establish validation inside external providers.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — Known Codex producers reject invalid explicit effort before home initialization. ACP host startup errors enter centralized cleanup that stops and disposes the runtime and removes the session marker. Other inspected spawn paths resolve effort before launching a pane, although some setup resources are created first; transactional cleanup of every early failure is not established.

tests/unit/lib/agents/codex-agent-home-golden.test.ts called
initCodexHome(v2) with no second argument. InitCodexHomeOpts.effort is
now required and the function dropped its `= {}` default, so this threw
"Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'approvalPolicy')" instead
of silently defaulting. My earlier full-repo sweep for initCodexHome
callers was scoped to src/; this call lives under tests/unit/, which the
sweep never looked at. Fixed by passing { effort: 'high' }, matching
every other such call.

src/lib/__tests__/settings-model-catalog.test.ts compares the live
catalog against a golden fixture (fixtures/pre-opencode-model-catalog.json)
captured before this issue's kimi-code/k3 and kimi-code/k3-256k
effortLevels change (['low','high','max'] -> all five canonical levels,
the F4 fix). Updated the fixture's two entries to match the new,
intended values.

Resolved conflict in configuration/effort.mdx: kept both "What honors it
today" bullet additions — this issue's per-harness-adapter bullet and
PAN-4257's tiered-execution-work-spawns bullet, which landed on main
since the previous merge. src/lib/agents/spawn.ts and spawn-prep.ts
auto-merged cleanly; verified this issue's museEffort: resolveEffort(...)
line survived intact in both.

## Acceptance criteria

- **AC-1 (W1):** `npx vitest run src/lib/agents/__tests__/runtime-command-effort.test.ts` passes, including the codex-hoist case (role effort `low` reaches both `initCodexHome` and `codexEffort`), the claude-code five-level table, and the Sonnet 4.6 `xhigh→high` row.
- **AC-2 (W2):** `rg -n "\?\? 'high'" src/lib/runtimes/codex.ts` prints nothing; `npx vitest run src/lib/runtimes/__tests__/codex.test.ts` passes with the gpt-5.6-sol identity table and the gpt-5.5 `max→xhigh` row.

Correct the GPT-5.5 acceptance criterion.

Line 319 says the Codex test includes a GPT-5.5 max→xhigh case. The added table tests only gpt-5.6-sol, and the PR objectives say the GPT-5.5 clamp was not implemented because the alias resolves to gpt-5.6-sol. Record that exception in this criterion and the corresponding decision and requirement. Otherwise, a passing command appears to verify behavior it does not test.

Update the AC-2 criterion and its corresponding decision and requirement to
record that the GPT-5.5 `max→xhigh` clamp is not implemented because the alias
resolves to `gpt-5.6-sol`; do not claim the test covers that case. Keep the test
command and verified `gpt-5.6-sol` behavior accurately represented.

Resolved conflict in .overdeck/context/codebase/concerns.md: kept both
landmine notes — this issue's effort-clamp-order note and PAN-4514's
AskUserQuestion deny-reason-marker note, which landed on main since the
previous merge. Everything else (PAN-4514, PAN-4528, and other sibling
work) merged cleanly with no further conflicts. typecheck, lint-effort,
lint-circular, and lint-file-size all pass after the merge.

Resolved conflict in configuration/effort.mdx: kept both "What honors it
today" bullet additions — this issue's per-harness-adapter bullet and
PAN-4256's seven bullets covering role-launch-surface effort (review
parent, test dispatch, pan worker run, pan spawn, pan flywheel start,
POST /api/agents(/restart), remote Fly work agents), which landed on
main since the previous merge. PAN-4256's own lint-effort.sh BASELINE
row removal (RolesPanel.tsx) and effort.mdx sibling-issues table edit
(dropping the #4256 row) merged cleanly with no conflict. typecheck,
lint-effort, lint-circular, and lint-file-size all pass after the merge.

Review CHANGES REQUESTED for PAN-4260

Review — PAN-4260

Verdict: CHANGES REQUESTED — merge resolution resurrects the removed strike.ts lint-effort baseline row, so AC-10 fails (note: lower BASELINE[src/cli/commands/strike.ts] to 0)

Context

  • Run ID: agent-pan-4260-review-8be4dacd
  • Manifest: /home/eltmon/Projects/overdeck/workspaces/feature-pan-4260/.pan/review/agent-pan-4260-review-8be4dacd/context.json
  • Branch / workspace: feature/pan-4260 / /home/eltmon/Projects/overdeck/workspaces/feature-pan-4260
  • PR: PAN-4260 #4533
  • HEAD reviewed: 8be4dac
  • Base: merge-base 832b65e (PAN-4256 on main); no prior review cycle

Blocking Findings

[requirements] Merge re-adds the strike.ts baseline row that PAN-4258 removed — scripts/lint-effort.sh:39

  • Severity: ! (failure of an explicit in-scope acceptance criterion)
  • Classification / requirement scope: implementation defect (merge-resolution regression); in_pr_scope
  • Trigger and changed-code connection: PAN-4258 (5ea1be0, on main) removed ["src/cli/commands/strike.ts"]=1 # PAN-4259 after fixing strike.ts. This branch's W10 commit d5d5deb was written while main still had the row; merge 955bbbd kept the branch side. Proof: the row count is 0 at merge-base 832b65e, 0 at origin/main, 0 at 955bbbd^2 (main side), 1 at 955bbbd^1 and at HEAD. git diff 832b65e07ca..HEAD -- scripts/lint-effort.sh shows the row as a + line, so this PR adds it.
  • Expected / observed / impact: AC-10 requires that bash scripts/lint-effort.sh "exits 0, prints no note: lower BASELINE line". Observed: it exits 0 but prints note: lower BASELINE[src/cli/commands/strike.ts] to 0. Commit 607a496 nevertheless recorded w10-lint-effort-baseline.ac1/ac2 as done. Beyond the AC, the merge reopens a ratchet slot: one ?? 'high' fallback or level-list copy could return to strike.ts and the lint would still pass. CI cannot catch this because the script exits 0 on a lowerable baseline.
  • Evidence: bash scripts/lint-effort.sh run locally at HEAD (output above); git show <rev>:scripts/lint-effort.sh | grep -c strike for the revisions listed.
  • Fix: delete the ["src/cli/commands/strike.ts"]=1 # PAN-4259 line from BASELINE, re-run bash scripts/lint-effort.sh, and confirm it prints no note: line.

Non-blocking Findings

[requirements] gpt-5.5 max→xhigh (D6/F5) was dropped — specification defect, not an implementation failure — src/lib/model-capabilities.ts:598

  • Severity: ~
  • Classification: specification defect; in_pr_scope (spec text), whole_feature_scope (residual)
  • The PRD's AC-2 says codex.test.ts "passes with the gpt-5.6-sol identity table and the gpt-5.5 max→xhigh row", and AC-3 (W3 step 3) asks for "with gpt-5.5, max yields --effort 'xhigh'". Neither the row nor these tests exist. The implementer documented why in commit 1527d8f, and I verified the reason: getModelEffortLevels (model-capabilities.ts:1397-1399) calls resolveModelId, which maps through MODEL_DEPRECATIONS (model-deprecations.ts:19: 'gpt-5.5': 'gpt-5.6-sol') before the row lookup. So an effortLevels value on the gpt-5.5 row is never read for clamping, and the F5 premise is stale. The CodeRabbit comment on .pan/drafts/PAN-4260.md:319 points at the same mismatch.
  • Spec correction: retire D6 and the gpt-5.5 clauses of AC-2/AC-3 in the PRD/xBRIEF, noting that gpt-5.5 inherits gpt-5.6-sol's levels. The docs already match the code: effort.mdx dropped "GPT-5.5 stops at xhigh", and harnesses.mdx states the alias caveat.
  • Residual (pre-existing, unverified): the implementer notes that an explicit --model gpt-5.5 launch with max can still reach Codex as max, because requireModelOverride does not resolve deprecated ids. This PR does not introduce it, and I did not trace whether Codex rejects it. It belongs in a follow-up issue if the operator wants it.

[correctness] Claude Code role-definition branch emits --effort without clamping — src/lib/agents/runtime-command.ts:853-854

  • Severity: ?
  • Classification: pre-existing issue; out of FR-1's producer list (claude-code launch surfaces are owned by PAN-4256/4257)
  • roleSystemPromptInjection pushes --effort ${explicitEffort ?? frontmatter.effort} without calling resolveEffort. Only the definition-less branch (line 941) clamps. The new claude-code mapping table deliberately uses sub-role security so that it exercises the clamping branch (the test comment says so). The harnesses.mdx row "max (clamped to the model, e.g. Sonnet 4.6 xhigh→high)" therefore holds only where callers pass an already-resolved value. Evidence limit: I did not trace whether every caller of the definition branch passes a pre-resolved effort.

[requirements] OpenCode models without an effort option now fail on a non-high role effort (H7)

  • Severity: ?
  • Classification: intended behavior per the spec (D2/H7); noted for operator awareness
  • getAcpLauncherFields now reads role (it was _role) and always returns a resolved acpEffort. With roles.<role>.effort: low|medium on an OpenCode model that exposes no effort config option, acp/host.ts throws does not expose an effort setting at session start, where such an agent used to start. The PRD's H7 explicitly accepts this. Conversations already resolved effort before this PR, so it changes nothing for them.

[process] Working-tree modification not in HEAD

  • .pan/continues/PAN-4260.xbrief.json is modified but uncommitted in the workspace. This review covers committed HEAD only.

.pan/drafts/PAN-4260.md, .pan/continues/…, .pan/specs/… reviewed (planning artifacts) Source of the ACs; D6 is stale
src/lib/planning/spawn-planning-session.ts N/A Not changed by this PR. Main already resolves museEffort via resolvedEffort.effort (line 630), so the AC-8 grep passes without an edit

Caller sweep for the new D2 throws (non-test src)

  • resolveKimiNativeEffort: runtimes/acp.ts:205 (resolved value), acp/host.ts:177 (launcher always passes --effort now), acp/host.ts:359 (op.effort.trim(), defined), launcher-generator.ts:894/972 (fed by producers that always resolve).
  • piEffort/museEffort/codexEffort producers: runtime-command.ts:113/177, runtimes/ohmypi.ts:350, runtimes/muse.ts:96, spawn.ts:338, spawn-prep.ts:745, spawn-planning-session.ts:630, conversation-runtime.ts:605/663/696 (launchEffort comes from resolveConversationEffort, which always returns a string). None can pass undefined.
  • initCodexHome: codex.ts:661, runtime-command.ts:193, conversation-runtime.ts:681. All pass effort, and typecheck enforces it.
  • AcpRuntimeSync.spawnAgent resolveEffort cannot receive an OpenCode variant: SpawnConfig.effort is EffortLevel, and relaunch callers go through resolveRelaunchEffort, which returns only canonical levels.

Four dimensions

  • Correctness: one blocker (lint baseline). The producer/emitter changes are correct, and every throwing path has a resolving producer.
  • Security: no new trust boundary. set-effort validation is now isEffortLevel (stricter than or equal to before); effort values still pass through shellQuote. No findings.
  • Performance: resolveEffort is a synchronous config read per launch, not in a hot loop. No findings.
  • Requirements/UX: AC matrix below. Docs updated as required.

AC-to-evidence matrix

AC Status Evidence
AC-1 met Codex hoist, claude-fable-5 five-level table, and Sonnet 4.6 xhigh→high in runtime-command-effort.test.ts; CI test shards green at HEAD
AC-2 partly met (spec defect) rg "\?\? 'high'" codex.ts is empty; gpt-5.6-sol table present; gpt-5.5 row is unreachable, see the non-blocking finding
AC-3 partly met (spec defect) Greps empty; set-effort, per-turn and launch-argv tables present; gpt-5.5 clause unreachable
AC-4 met One match in each of the four runtimes; lint:circular runs in the CI lint-group (core), green
AC-5 met kimi-effort.test.ts tables and throw test
AC-6 met host.test.ts OpenCode table, variant, rejection, K3 table
AC-7 met pi table and missing-piEffort throw; launcher-context fixture
AC-8 met muse table and throw; the grep prints nothing
AC-9 met Heading, table and CLIProxy present; effort.mdx strings removed
AC-10 unmet bash scripts/lint-effort.sh prints note: lower BASELINE[src/cli/commands/strike.ts] to 0
AC-11 met CI lint and lint-groups green at HEAD; launcher-generator.ts is 1000 lines; app-server-host 985; runtime-command 973

Verification

  • CI run 37183934993 at exact HEAD 8be4dac: test-shard 1–4, test-e2e, lint, lint-group (core/effect/skills/state), build (22) and the clean-install smoke test all pass. lint:effect-diagnostics runs in lint-group (effect) (scripts/run-lint-group.mjs:16), which is green.
  • Local: bash scripts/lint-effort.sh exits 0 and prints the note: lower BASELINE[...strike.ts] line (the blocker evidence). Ran the AC grep commands for AC-2/3/4/8/9/10 and wc -l for NFR-2.
  • Not run: vitest. CI covers the named files at exact HEAD, so local runs were unnecessary.

Required action

Fix every blocking review finding, commit the fixes, then re-request review with:

pan review request PAN-4260 -m "Fixed review issues"

Merge 955bbbd kept this branch's side of scripts/lint-effort.sh's
BASELINE for src/cli/commands/strike.ts (added back in W10 before
PAN-4258 landed on main and removed it after fixing strike.ts), so the
merge silently reopened a ratchet slot and AC-10 failed:
`bash scripts/lint-effort.sh` printed `note: lower BASELINE[...strike.ts]
to 0` instead of exiting clean.

Removed the row. Also rewrote the header comment: with strike.ts gone,
no remaining row references a sibling issue (#4253/#4255-#4259) — every
row left is a permanent exception (the conversation-runtime.ts lane-door
pattern, or a false match), so the old "sibling issue outside PAN-4249's
scope" sentence was describing rows that no longer exist. Re-verified
lint-effort (clean exit, no note), lint-circular, and lint-file-size.

Review: agent-pan-4260-review-8be4dacd, blocking finding #1.

Resolved conflict in .overdeck/context/codebase/concerns.md: kept both
landmine notes — this issue's effort-clamp-order note and PAN-4515's
conversation-activity-timestamp note, which landed on main since the
previous merge. No other conflicts; PAN-4515's own files merged cleanly.
Confirmed the strike.ts lint-effort baseline fix from the prior review
round survived (no row, no "lower BASELINE" note). typecheck,
lint-effort, lint-circular, and lint-file-size all pass after the merge.
