CLAUDE_CODE_EFFORT_LEVEL hard-locks effort for the whole session and makes
Claude reject in-session /effort switching (incl. ultracode). Carry effort
as a dedicated payload field instead, injected at spawn as a soft default:
- regular levels (incl. max) -> claude --effort <level>
(the settings effortLevel key is enum([low,medium,high,xhigh]) with
.catch(undefined), so max would be silently dropped there)
- ultracode -> claude --settings '{"ultracode":true}'
(dedicated boolean settings key, rejected by the --effort flag)
Changes:
- add effort enum field to create/quick-start/ralph-loop schemas and thread
it through Session -> CreateSessionOptions/RespawnPaneOptions -> spawn
- buildEffortCliArgs() in session-cli-builder, shared by tmux spawn command
and direct-PTY fallback args
- frontend: buildEnvOverrides() no longer emits CLAUDE_CODE_EFFORT_LEVEL;
validated effort goes into payloads via getEffortSetting()
- settings UI: add Ultracode option to the Thinking Effort dropdown
- legacy migration: Session constructor extracts CLAUDE_CODE_EFFORT_LEVEL
from persisted envOverrides; applyEnvOverrides() unsets the stale tmux
session var so respawned panes are no longer locked
- tests: test/effort-injection.test.ts (13 cases)

Knip-driven cleanup. All changes verified with tsc --noEmit, lint, and
build.
Removed (zero consumers):
- VERIFICATION_PROMPT constant + its barrel re-export
- createInitialOrchestratorPersistState factory
- transcriptWatcher singleton export
- createAnsiPatternFull / createAnsiPatternSimple factories
- TimerInfo interface + unused AiCheckResult/AiPlanCheckResult imports
in respawn-controller.ts
- 35 unused Zod z.infer \`*Input\` types in schemas.ts
- Dead re-exports: SessionMode from session.ts, AuthSessionRecord from
web/ports/index.ts, EnhancedPlanTask/CheckpointReview from
ralph-tracker.ts, 7 unused entries in utils/index.ts
- 14 event/config interfaces that lived only as JSDoc hints (no TS type
position usage): Session/Respawn/RalphLoop/RalphTracker/
SessionManager/SessionAutoOps/Subagent/TaskQueue/TaskTracker/
TranscriptWatcher/Image/OrchestratorLoop Events + RespawnPreset +
SessionOutput
Narrowed to module scope (kept but no longer exported):
- buildPermissionArgs in session-cli-builder.ts
- 28 type/interface declarations used only within their own file:
Ai{Idle,Plan}Check{Config,State}, BashToolParser{Events,Config},
FileStream/CreateStream{Options,Result}, PlanSubagentEvent,
SubagentCallback, RalphLoopConfig, RalphLoop{Events,Options},
ActiveTimerInfo, DetectionStatus, ActionLogEntry, AutoOpsCallbacks,
TunnelStatus, Timer/LRUMap/StaleExpirationMap Options, AuthState,
SessionListenerDeps, SseStreamManagerDeps, and 8 more
Docs: CLAUDE.md advice for global-regex `lastIndex` now points to the
remaining `execPattern()` helper instead of the deleted factories.
Knip delta: unused files 42→0, unused exports 161→16, unused types 92→0.
The 16 remaining exports are a mobile-test helper toolkit intentionally
kept for upcoming tests.
