Summary

Adds a per-model (and provider-wide) config option to suppress the synthetic max/ultra reasoning rungs that applyReasoningLevels appends to every reasoning-capable routed model. When enabled, the Codex catalog advertises exactly the configured reasoningEfforts / modelReasoningEfforts ladder, so the picker reflects the model's real capability.

  • preserveExactReasoningRungs?: boolean — provider-wide flag.
  • modelPreserveExactReasoningRungs?: Record<string, boolean> — per-model override (wins over the provider-wide flag).

Concretely, with modelReasoningEfforts: { "qwen3.8-max": ["low", "medium", "xhigh"] } plus modelPreserveExactReasoningRungs: { "qwen3.8-max": true }, the entry alibaba-token-plan-intl/qwen3.8-max now emits supported_reasoning_levels = [low, medium, xhigh] instead of [low, medium, xhigh, max, ultra].

The flag flows from OcxProviderConfig through applyProviderConfigHints into CatalogModel.preserveExactReasoningRungs, which deriveEntry folds into the existing preserveExact pass that exact-combo and ChatGPT-forward rows already use. Wire clamping (clampToSupportedCodexEffort) is untouched, so this only changes what the picker shows.

Tradeoff documented in types.ts and the providers reference: removing max can hard-fail subagent spawn_agent effort overrides (codex-rs validates max against catalog membership), so the flag is opt-in for models that genuinely lack the top rungs.

Closes #1870

The PR adds provider-wide and per-model settings that preserve configured reasoning ladders. Configuration validation, OAuth reconciliation, migration, catalog hinting, catalog synchronization, documentation, and tests support the new behavior.

Templated and fallback routed entries preserve configured reasoning levels. Tests cover provider-wide settings, model-specific settings, default synthetic levels, and per-model false overrides.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 93c63

The change can cause OAuth-managed settings to be lost and can leave stale reasoning levels advertised after configuration changes, resulting in an incorrect model picker and failed or unexpected effort selection. These bounded correctness issues should be fixed before merging.

648-672: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Clear a stale exact-rung hint when configuration resolves to false.

applyConfigHintsToCachedModels reuses existing CatalogModel objects. Line 654 spreads model into hinted, but Line 672 writes preserveExactReasoningRungs only for true. After a configuration change from true to false, the cached model keeps its prior true flag and continues to suppress max and ultra.

Remove the incoming derived flag before the spread. Then add it only when the resolved value is true. Add a regression test that re-hints a previously exact-rung model with a per-model false override.

Proposed fix
-  const { supportsServiceTier: _staleServiceTier, ...modelWithoutServiceTier } = model;
+  const {
+    supportsServiceTier: _staleServiceTier,
+    preserveExactReasoningRungs: _stalePreserveExactReasoningRungs,
+    ...modelWithoutServiceTier
+  } = model;

…c max/ultra rungs

Adds OcxProviderConfig.preserveExactReasoningRungs (provider-wide) and
modelPreserveExactReasoningRungs (per-model) so operators can advertise exactly
the reasoning ladder a routed model actually supports. When enabled, the Codex
catalog omits the synthetic max/ultra rungs that applyReasoningLevels appends,
matching the picker to real provider capability (e.g. alibaba-token-plan-intl
qwen3.8-max -> [low, medium, xhigh]).

Closes lidge-jun#1870
applyProviderConfigHints spread the incoming CatalogModel before re-adding the
flag, so a cached model that previously carried preserveExactReasoningRungs: true
kept it after the config changed to false. Destructure the flag out of the spread
source (mirroring the supportsServiceTier pattern) and add a regression test.
