The message about capped reasoning-effort levels was reworded to be more accurate

What

When a higher reasoning-effort level (how much the model "thinks" before answering) isn't available to you, Claude Code now says "Higher effort levels are capped by your settings or organization" instead of a version that placed the blame solely on your organization.

Why

The cap can come from your own settings as well as an organization-wide policy, so the new wording avoids incorrectly pointing the finger at your organization when the restriction is actually something you set yourself.
