When shown it replaces the warning about overthinking at the top level. It is behind the remote flag `tengu_marbled_teal`, which falls back to off in this build, so whether you see it is decided by server config.\n\n**Evidence**\n\n`The default effort for this model`\n\n- Flag `tengu_marbled_teal`: Off by default, switched on for this account (read for one account on one subscription tier against v2.1.224; this account: on, anonymous baseline: on, compiled default: off) These values were read against a different version of Claude Code, so treat them as the nearest reading available instead of one taken on this release.\n- Area: Thinking Effort\n- Tier: Nothing to try yet\n- Useful: 3\/5\n- Signal: 4\/5\n- Present in the build but not switched on"}
