The /effort picker and the run-time effort resolver disagreed about which
tiers a model supports. Registry.ReasoningEfforts falls back to name-based
inference (reasoningEffortsForModelName) when the catalog lists no efforts,
so the picker shows controls for proxy-served GPT-5 / Codex / o-series
models. EffectiveReasoningEffort read model.ReasoningEfforts directly and
never saw that fallback, so it coerced the same request to "none" — the
picker advertised a tier the resolver silently dropped.
Route both through a single effectiveReasoningEfforts helper so they can
never diverge. A model the catalog enumerates with no efforts but whose
name is a known reasoning family now has its requested effort honored end
to end; non-reasoning models still resolve to "none".
Also drop the orphaned, stale NOTE above forwardedReasoningEffort claiming
effort "is not yet forwarded" (it is) and restore the reasoningEffortNotice
doc comment to its own function.
