What

A new function determines a model's default "effort" level (how much reasoning effort it applies) by checking, in order: an explicit override, a table of per-model values read from a remote gate called tengu_witty_wand, an entry in the settings file, the model catalog's built-in default_effort, and finally falling back to "high" if nothing else applies.

Why

This adds another layer of control for tuning default effort levels per model, sitting above the model catalog's built-in defaults but below any explicit override or settings-file entry.
