What

The internal function that resolves how much reasoning/turn effort a model call should use no longer accepts or checks a honorLaunchPin option or its associated launch-pin check. Effort is now resolved more directly, falling through from a hook-provided effort value, the current default, turnEffort, or a passed-in default.

Why

This is an internal simplification of effort resolution; the finding does not say what user-visible behavior, if any, this changes.

How sure we are
