What
The function that extracts a displayable effort-level value (how much reasoning effort a model is set to use) previously only returned that value if two internal gate checks both passed. That requirement has been removed, so the value is now returned whenever it's present.
Why
This means the effort-level value, when set, is no longer hidden by conditions that previously could suppress it from being shown.
