The effort slider is built from the levels pi reports for the model, so a model that narrows them with a thinkingLevelMap already got fewer stops. A model with only "off" and one other level is still a two-stop slider, which is a switch with extra steps, and one with a single level offered a control with nothing to set. - "off" plus one level: the pill itself flips thinking on and off. The popover (reached through /effort) shows the same switch. - A single level: the pill is a plain label. - Otherwise the slider is unchanged. The seeded seven-level list drew a full slider until the first response arrived, whatever the model. The levels pi last reported are now remembered per provider and model and used as the seed, falling back to the full list for a model not seen before.

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe change adds provider/model-specific thinking-level caching, adaptive effort controls, and serialized effort saves. Single-level models disable the control, two-level models use an on/off toggle, and multi-level models retain the slider. ChangesThinking-level configuration and controls

Releasing the effort slider fires pointerup and then usually blur or keyup, each committing the same value before the first save has returned. The check against the current level still sees the old one, so each of them saved it again. A ref holds the level being saved and ignores repeats of it; a different level is still accepted. Raised in review by CodeRabbit. The handlers predate this PR, but applyLevel is now shared with the on/off switch. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

The guard added for duplicate saves kept a single ref. The effort slider is not disabled while a save is out, so a second level can start before the first returns; the first to finish then cleared the other's entry and ended the busy state early, which let a repeat of the second level through. Now a set of levels in flight: each request removes only itself, and busy and the drag position are released only when none remain. Raised in review by CodeRabbit.

A chat with no model of its own — a fresh /new — is seeded under an empty key, so it got the full seven-level list. /config for a session that is not running reports no levels and the old ones were kept, so the effort slider was drawn for a model that only switches thinking on and off, until a reload happened to start pi and report the real levels. The levels are now looked up for the model /config reports (the default one, for such a chat), and the previous behaviour stays as the fallback.

Picking low, then high, then low again while the first save was out sent only low and high: the second low was refused because low was already being saved, so if the two requests were applied in that order the server ended on high while the slider had been left on low. Nor were the requests ordered in any way. Saves now go through a small serial saver. A level picked while a save is out only replaces the one waiting; when the save returns the waiting level is sent, unless it is the one just saved, so a drag that ends in pointerup and then a blur or keyup still saves once. The busy state, and the reload that follows, cover the whole chain. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Process requests that arrive during settled.
If request runs while settled is pending, it stores the new value in waiting. The finally block then clears waiting without saving it. In ComposerBar, load is passed as settled, so a level change during load can leave the server on an older thinking level.
Recheck waiting after settled. If it contains a different value, continue the save loop and run settled again after that save.

What
The effort control in the composer treated every model as a scale from
offtomax. It is built from the levels pi reports for the session's model, so a model that narrows them with athinkingLevelMap(see pi'sdocs/models.md) already got fewer stops — but a model with onlyoffand one other level still showed a two-stop slider, and one with a single level showed a control with nothing to set.This derives the control from that same list, with no per-model special cases:
off+ one other/effortopens the same switch in the popover.It also fixes the slider flashing seven stops on every session open: the list was seeded from the full default set until the first response arrived. The levels pi last reported are now remembered per provider and model (localStorage, same approach as the model catalogue cache) and used as the seed, falling back to the full list for a model not seen before. The seed stays because the existing comment on
DEFAULT_LEVELSexplains why the popover must not open empty.docs/guide/sessions.mddescribed the slider as alwaysoffthroughmax; updated.Not included
The default-effort chips in Settings (
ConfigModal.tsx) are still a fixed list of all seven levels. That modal has no session, so there is no model to ask for its levels; making it model-aware needs a server endpoint and is left for a follow-up.Testing
