What

Adjusting effort with left and right, and the session-only shortcut, now read the currently focused model live and re-derive it from the filtered list, refusing when that option is missing or disabled. Previously they could act on state captured at an earlier render.

Details
  • Five separate effort capability computations (effort, max, extra-high and ultra support, default effort, plus cap levels) collapsed into one lookup per model.
  • The effort telemetry event is unchanged.

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
