Opening a thread with saved Medium reasoning effort currently replaces it with the global Low default, and the next message sends Low. Preserve reasoning effort from resume, start, and fork responses and restore it per thread, using the global value only as a fallback. Keep manual choices isolated across thread switches, metadata refreshes, fallback retries, and asynchronous resume/creation. Automatic mode remains automatic instead of becoming explicit Medium.

Closes #224.

Validation:

  • pnpm run test:unit: 168 tests passed across 15 files. Regression coverage includes automatic mode, both fork paths, fallback retry, navigation races, and new-thread creation.
  • pnpm run build: frontend typecheck/build and CLI build passed.
  • node dist-cli/index.js --help: passed (the package exposes an ESM CLI).
  • Playwright with intercepted app-server responses: 375x812 and 768x1024, light/dark. Verified Medium after page reload, A/B thread switching, turn/start.params.effort === "medium" with global Low, forked High, and omitted effort for Automatic. No real model requests were made.
  • Updated manual checks in tests/providers-models/per-thread-model-selection.md.
  • Packaged Docker provider/auth matrix was not completed: pnpm pack succeeded after the follow-up commit, but timeout --kill-after=5s 120s sudo -n docker build --network=host -t codexapp-reasoning-followup:local . reached its limit during npm install -g /tmp/codexapp.tgz @openai/codex (exit 137). No matrix containers were started, so invalid-auth persistence and duplicate live overlays are not claimed as verified.

Performance: no additional API requests or payload fetches; effort comes from existing resume/start/fork responses. A select-and-send uses one resume, and cached A/B/A switching uses two resumes total. The page-scoped lookup is a non-reactive Map: reads/writes are synchronous and constant-time, do not invalidate Vue rendering, and no longer copy the visited-thread map. Archived entries are pruned. In 30 settled-page focus cycles, the current worktree measured 16.79ms median / 17.12ms P95 with 0 long tasks and the same 25 API requests as the baseline; textarea focus does not access this map. Mobile Safari keyboard animation and device-specific load were not measured.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR preserves reasoning effort per thread. API responses now expose normalized effort values. Desktop state restores thread-specific selections, retains manual choices, applies global defaults when needed, and uses the correct effort for thread turns.

High-Level Assessment

The current approach is preferred because it reuses reasoning effort already returned by thread/resume, adds no API requests, and isolates unsaved choices within the page lifecycle. Persisting client-side overrides or fetching effort separately would risk stale state or unnecessary network traffic, while a single global selection cannot safely support concurrent thread operations.

Grey Divider


Action required

1. New threads can send fallback effort 📎 Requirement gap ≡ Correctness ⭐ New
Description
sendMessageToNewThread discards the valid StartedThread.reasoningEffort returned by both normal
and fallback creation paths and initializes the new thread with the locally captured
selectedEffort instead. When the composer has no explicit per-context override and thread/start
returns a saved or normalized thread-specific effort, startTurnForThread reads the stored global
fallback for the first turn/start request and subsequent page-local turns.
Code

src/composables/useDesktopState.ts[5019]

+      reasoningEffortByContext.set(toThreadContextId(threadId), selectedEffort)
Evidence
The gateway explicitly normalizes and returns the top-level start-response effort, but both
new-thread creation branches consume the returned model and provider fields without consuming that
effort and initialize state with selectedEffort; the subsequent turn path then reads this map
entry. This conflicts with the required precedence of a known thread-specific effort over the global
fallback and differs from the fork paths, which prefer the effort returned by their responses.

Use Global Default Only When Thread Setting Is Unknown

Agent prompt
The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution

## Issue description
New-thread creation propagates `reasoningEffort` through both normal and fallback `startThread` responses, but `sendMessageToNewThread` ignores it and unconditionally stores the captured composer fallback. As a result, a newly created thread without an explicit composer override can use the global effort for its first and subsequent page-local turns despite already having a known server-returned effort.

## Fix Focus Areas
- src/composables/useDesktopState.ts[4989-5019]
- src/api/codexGateway.ts[1684-1693]

## Recommended Fix
Retain the successful normal or fallback `startThread` result and initialize the new thread context from its valid `reasoningEffort` when the new-thread composer has no explicit map entry. Preserve any explicit manual composer selection as the higher-priority override, including the empty Automatic choice, and use the captured global value only when neither a manual override nor a valid start-response effort exists.

2. Automatic mode sends Medium instead ✓ Resolved 🐞 Bug ≡ Correctness
Description
defaultReasoningEffort starts as medium, and refreshModelPreferences only replaces it when
currentConfig.reasoningEffort is truthy even though an empty string represents the automatic
setting. When the global configuration omits model_reasoning_effort, new threads and resumed
threads without a recognized effort resolve through this fallback and startTurnForThread
explicitly sends medium.
Code

src/composables/useDesktopState.ts[1439]

+  const defaultReasoningEffort = ref<ReasoningEffort | ''>('medium')
Evidence
The gateway deliberately types the global value as ReasoningEffort | '' and normalizes an absent
configuration field to ''. The new fallback is initialized to Medium, is only updated inside a
truthiness condition, and is then used whenever the per-thread map has no entry.

Agent prompt
The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution

## Issue description
The per-thread fallback initializes to `medium` and never accepts the normalized empty global reasoning effort, so automatic global configuration becomes an explicit Medium turn setting.

- src/composables/useDesktopState.ts[2066-2072]
- src/api/codexGateway.ts[2065-2071]
## Recommended Fix
Assign `defaultReasoningEffort` from every normalized `currentConfig.reasoningEffort` value, including `''`, while retaining validation for non-empty values. Add a regression test where the global configuration returns `reasoningEffort: ''` and verify an unknown or new thread sends no explicit effort.

3. Forked threads send global effort ✓ Resolved 🐞 Bug ≡ Correctness
Description
setSelectedThreadId now resets the selector through the per-thread effort map, but both fork flows
mark their new thread IDs as resumed without initializing an effort entry. Because forkThread
drops the top-level reasoningEffort returned by the server, selecting either fork bypasses any
later resume and its next turn uses the global fallback instead of the fork's inherited setting.
Code

src/composables/useDesktopState.ts[1686]

+    selectedReasoningEffort.value = readReasoningEffortForThread(nextThreadId)
Evidence
The server schema exposes reasoningEffort on ThreadForkResponse, while both gateway fork
branches omit it from their returned objects. The composable marks each forked ID as resumed, so
loadMessages will use thread detail rather than the only response carrying the effort, and the
newly added selection reset consequently reads the global fallback.

## Recommended Fix
Expose normalized `reasoningEffort` on both fork result variants and initialize the forked thread's effort context before selecting or marking it resumed. Add tests for whole-thread and turn-based forks where the source/server effort differs from the global default, then verify the next turn uses the fork response effort.

Remediation recommended

4. Hidden threads lose manual effort 🐞 Bug ≡ Correctness ⭐ New
Description
pruneThreadScopedState deletes reasoning-effort entries against projectGroups, which contains
only threads visible under the current workspace-root filter. After a manually configured thread is
hidden by that filter and the list refreshes, returning to it during the same page session restores
the server value or global default rather than the unsent manual choice.
Code

src/composables/useDesktopState.ts[R2264-2266]

+    for (const contextId of reasoningEffortByContext.keys()) {
+      if (contextId !== NEW_THREAD_COLLABORATION_MODE_CONTEXT && !activeThreadIds.has(contextId)) {
+        reasoningEffortByContext.delete(contextId)
Evidence
Workspace-root filtering removes nonallowed project groups before projectGroups is flattened and
passed to pruning. The added loop then deletes every nonselected reasoning context absent from that
visible set, while subsequent reads fall back because the manual map entry no longer exists.

src/composables/useDesktopState.ts[2240-2267]
src/composables/useDesktopState.ts[1934-1944]

Agent prompt
The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution

## Issue description
Reasoning-effort state is pruned using the workspace-filtered thread list, so temporarily hidden threads are treated as deleted. This removes unsent manual selections that should remain isolated and available throughout the current page session.

## Fix Focus Areas
- src/composables/useDesktopState.ts[2240-2267]
- src/composables/useDesktopState.ts[4149-4165]
- src/composables/useDesktopState.ts[4360-4368]

## Recommended Fix
Prune reasoning-effort entries against all loaded server thread IDs rather than the workspace-filtered `projectGroups` list. Continue removing entries for genuinely archived or deleted threads and retaining the new-thread context.

1892-1904: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Restore reasoningEffort in the fallback retry resume path.

A page reload does not preserve pendingTurnRequestByThreadId, so it cannot create this exact path. The path remains reachable when loadThreads prunes resumedThreadById for a thread that is not in the current thread list while leaving the pending request intact. An unsupported turn/completed or error notification can then trigger this retry. The retry resumes the thread, marks it as resumed, and skips restoreThreadReasoningEffort. The current replay uses pending.effort, but later reads fall back to the global default because the thread context was never restored.

🐛 Proposed fix
       if (resumedThreadById.value[threadId] !== true) {
         const resumedThread = await resumeThread(threadId)
+        restoreThreadReasoningEffort(threadId, resumedThread.reasoningEffort)
         if (resumedThread.model) {
           setThreadModelId(threadId, resolveThreadModelForProvider(threadId, resumedThread.model, resumedThread.modelProvider))

New-thread creation propagates `reasoningEffort` through both normal and fallback `startThread` responses, but `sendMessageToNewThread` ignores it and unconditionally stores the captured composer fallback. As a result, a newly created thread without an explicit composer override can use the global effort for its first and subsequent page-local turns despite already having a known server-returned effort.

## Fix Focus Areas
- src/composables/useDesktopState.ts[4989-5019]
- src/api/codexGateway.ts[1684-1693]

## Recommended Fix
Retain the successful normal or fallback `startThread` result and initialize the new thread context from its valid `reasoningEffort` when the new-thread composer has no explicit map entry. Preserve any explicit manual composer selection as the higher-priority override, including the empty Automatic choice, and use the captured global value only when neither a manual override nor a valid start-response effort exists.

4. Hidden threads lose manual effort 🐞 Bug ≡ Correctness

pruneThreadScopedState deletes reasoning-effort entries against projectGroups, which contains
only threads visible under the current workspace-root filter. After a manually configured thread is
hidden by that filter and the list refreshes, returning to it during the same page session restores
the server value or global default rather than the unsent manual choice.

## Issue description
Reasoning-effort state is pruned using the workspace-filtered thread list, so temporarily hidden threads are treated as deleted. This removes unsent manual selections that should remain isolated and available throughout the current page session.

## Fix Focus Areas
- src/composables/useDesktopState.ts[2240-2267]
- src/composables/useDesktopState.ts[4149-4165]
- src/composables/useDesktopState.ts[4360-4368]

## Recommended Fix
Prune reasoning-effort entries against all loaded server thread IDs rather than the workspace-filtered `projectGroups` list. Continue removing entries for genuinely archived or deleted threads and retaining the new-thread context.
