What
For a model scoped to the current session, the status line now says "(this session only)" rather than claiming the model came from plan mode.
Details
Effort is read through an accessor everywhere it was previously a stored field, including app-state comparisons, /model and the remote flag-settings path.
The command-line effort resolver now hands back both the session and settings values instead of applying one and returning the other.
Evidence
(this session only)
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
How sure we are
One source agreesOne thing we can check says the same as this entry.
Anthropic's release notes agreeFixed the /model and /effort cache-miss warning appearing when the prompt cache had already expired
