* feat(settings): opt-in reasoning effort for utility model calls
Add utility_reasoning_effort (empty = provider default) and let utility
calls inherit a chat session's effort only on that session's matching
endpoint+model route. Explicit caller effort wins; otherwise the utility
setting wins over session inheritance on utility-chain routes. Resolve
the chain and setting per user and validate levels against model evidence.
No-session work uses the setting only, with no chat-effort crossover.
- src/utility_effort.py owns effort_for_call and candidate_effort_factory
- remove global effort fill from llm_call/llm_call_async; utility call
sites pass effort explicitly, so unrelated calls on the same route do
not pick it up
- wire auto-title, memory/persona/skill extraction, memory suggest/import/
audit, compaction, auto-sort, and per-owner background task candidates
- wire no-session email writing-style, summary, and translation calls,
plus skills evaluation, necessity/retrieval audits, and improvement
- deliberately exclude email replies because thinking_mode='off'
- add the optional candidate_request_factory to llm_call_async_with_fallback
- add sync llm_call reasoning_effort and include it in the cache key
- show the Utility Model effort selector only for advertised levels
Fixes#6569
* fix(utility): exclude email replies and support inherited effort in settings
Pass reasoning_effort='' to task_llm_call_async for scheduled reply drafting to honor the email reply exclusion. In AI settings, resolve the effective Default Chat endpoint and model when Utility is set to 'Same as chat' so supported reasoning effort levels can be selected.
* feat(utility): support same-as-chat effort and session model fallback in compaction
In AI settings, show 'Same as chat' as the default effort option when Utility Model is inherited, and support an explicit 'Provider default' (off) override. Pass the active session fallback in context compaction callers so compaction shares the live chat session's model and reasoning effort for maximum prompt/KV cache affinity.
* fix(settings): clarify chat effort inheritance and keep option visible
Label inherited effort as 'Same as chat (when supported)' and mention
cache affinity and latency speedups in the help text. Ensure the effort
control remains visible when the utility model is set to 'Same as chat'
even if the default chat model lacks advertised reasoning levels, and
populate candidate levels across configured endpoints so the user can
configure effort or keep provider default.
* feat(settings): per-fallback reasoning effort for utility model
Each utility fallback row gets an Effort select, shown only when the
selected model advertises reasoning levels. The choice is stored as
reasoning_effort on the utility_model_fallbacks entry and sent only to
that candidate; an empty value means provider default.
* fix(utility): transmit reasoning effort in non-streaming calls

* refactor(model-routing): centralize explicit foreground fallback policy
Make foreground fallback an explicit per-user, availability-only policy shared by streaming Chat, non-stream Chat, and Agent runs.
Preserve strict defaults, owner/model and credential boundaries, pinned Agent routes, and truthful per-round provenance/accounting. Carry provider-reported model identifiers through native streaming adapters, non-stream responses, and caches, and keep legacy default_model_fallbacks as tombstoned raw storage that generic settings APIs and agent tools cannot expose or mutate.
* fix(agent-loop): restore rebase-dropped qwen routing, workspace prompt, and temperature clamp
* fix(model-routing): thread selected endpoint identity, fix cost classification and fallback eligibility
* fix(chat): restore stream helpers and harden run stop lifecycle
* fix(model-routing): let numeric provider codes win over symbolic rate-limit statuses
* fix(agent-loop): apply qwen temperature and notes-tool clamps per fallback candidate
* fix(chat): honor queued stop across resend and reload canonical terminal on EOF
* fix(chat): track stop queue and cleanup ownership by per-send generation
* fix(agent-loop): preserve requested temperature for non-qwen fallback candidates
* fix(chat): reserve send ownership before any await and scope stop to the current send
* fix(chat): clear the previous run identity at send reservation
