"Max Effort" Description Updated

ImprovementsSection of the release

The "max" effort level description has been simplified from "Maximum capability with deepest reasoning (Opus 4.6 only)" to just "Maximum capability with deepest reasoning", reflecting that max effort is no longer restricted to Opus 4.6.

Evidence

String change in $p_ (search for "Maximum capability with deepest reasoning")

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