feat(dashboard): add a reasoning-effort picker to the chat sidebar - #49141
Merged
Conversation
The web dashboard only showed a read-only "Reasoning" capability badge with no way to set the effort level — unlike the desktop app, which has an effort radio in its composer model menu. This adds a picker so the two surfaces reach parity. - ReasoningPicker: a Select rendered in the chat sidebar, gated on the effective model's supports_reasoning capability (from /api/model/info). Reads/writes agent.reasoning_effort via the existing config REST endpoints (read-modify-write, the dashboard's single-key save pattern), so the value lands in the config the agent boots a fresh chat from. Options mirror the desktop: Off/Minimal/Low/Medium/High/Max. - ChatSidebar: capture supports_reasoning from the model-info fetch and render the picker; on change, show the same 'apply on /new or reload' notice the model switch uses. - reasoning-effort.ts: DOM-free helpers (normalizeEffort + options) so the node-env vitest harness can cover the resolution logic, plus tests.

Summary
The web dashboard now lets you set the model's reasoning-effort level, matching the desktop app.
Previously the dashboard chat sidebar only showed a read-only "Reasoning" capability badge — there was no control to actually choose the effort level, unlike the desktop app's composer model menu. Reported by @Mr_Magaia.
Changes
ReasoningPicker— a Select in the chat sidebar, shown only when the effective model supports reasoning (from/api/model/info). Reads/writesagent.reasoning_effortvia the existing config REST endpoints (read-modify-write — the dashboard's single-key save pattern), so the value lands in the config a fresh chat boots from. Options mirror the desktop: Off / Minimal / Low / Medium / High / Max.ChatSidebar— capturessupports_reasoningfrom the model-info fetch, renders the picker, and on change shows the same "apply on /new or reload" notice the model switch already uses.lib/reasoning-effort.ts— DOM-free helpers (normalizeEffort+ option/value tables) so the node-env vitest harness covers the resolution logic; tests inreasoning-effort.test.ts.Same underlying contract as the desktop radio and the TUI's
/reasoningcommand: persists toagent.reasoning_effort. Profile-scoped the same way as the sidebar's model badge (/api/confighonors the management profile).Validation
