Inline comments:
In `@docs-site/src/content/docs/guides/pi.md`:
- Around line 108-115: Update the documentation around the exported reasoning
field to describe reasoning: true as Pi UI metadata derived from a non-empty
catalog ladder, not proof of native upstream support. Clarify that
reasoning_effort behavior depends on the selected adapter and provider/model,
which may translate, clamp, emulate, or omit it, while preserving the guidance
about empty ladders and optional thinkingLevelMap overrides.
In `@src/cli/models-runtime.ts`:
- Around line 73-78: Update the reasoningEffortsRaw handling in the edit CLI so
“-” still sets reasoningEfforts to null, while any other input normalized by csv
to an empty list is rejected rather than assigned. Preserve the existing
behavior for non-empty ladders and defaultEffortRaw.
In `@src/cli/models.ts`:
- Around line 156-176: Add focused regression tests in tests/cli-models.test.ts
covering valid and duplicate reasoning-effort lists, invalid labels,
default-effort membership, explicit empty ladders, config persistence, and
list-custom table output when ladders are omitted, empty, or populated; exercise
the parsing/validation flow around isCodexReasoningEffort and the list-custom
output path without changing unrelated implementation.
In `@src/codex/catalog/provider-fetch.ts`:
- Around line 1777-1781: Preserve explicit custom metadata in the catalog-row
merge by applying native-alias and inherited-provider defaults only when the
custom row has no explicit value; ensure an explicit empty reasoningEfforts
remains empty. Guard defaultReasoningEffort gap-filling so it is added only when
the resulting reasoning ladder contains that default. Add coverage for an empty
native-alias ladder and a custom ladder that excludes the inherited default.
Apply the same fix in `@src/server/management/model-routes.ts` around lines 442 -
455: Covers stale stored defaults after ladder changes or clearing.
In `@tests/catalog-input-modality-enum.test.ts`:
- Around line 247-248: Remove the duplicate payload declarations in the
callbacks around the reasoningEfforts assertions, including both occurrences
near the referenced sections, keeping one JSON response parse and preserving the
existing payload type and expectations.

Remove the duplicate const payload declarations.
Line 247 declares payload twice in the same callback. Line 317 has the same error in a separate callback. TypeScript cannot parse this test file, so the affected test suite cannot run.
Proposed fix
const payload = await res!.json() as { reasoningEfforts?: string[]; defaultReasoningEffort?: string };
- const payload = await res!.json() as { reasoningEfforts?: string[]; defaultReasoningEffort?: string };

The custom-model dialog (and `ocx models add/edit`) now accepts an explicit reasoning ladder. Custom rows carry the override into the Codex catalog, winning over the provider-derived ladder (the lidge-jun#962 inheritance), and an explicit empty ladder hides the effort control (lidge-jun#883). The Pi export emits `reasoning: true` for rows with a non-empty ladder so Pi's effort control appears for routed models instead of being a documented omission. CLI/API keep an optional default effort; the dialog derives the catalog default automatically.
Addresses the lens review of the custom-model reasoning feature: - PUT /api/custom-models now mirrors the POST invariant: a stored default effort is dropped whenever the final ladder no longer contains it, so a ladder shrink/clear (e.g. the GUI toggle-off path, which sends only reasoningEfforts) can no longer leave a stale default that re-applies itself onto the inherited ladder in the generated catalog (lidge-jun#962). - The Pi export constrains pi's own level scale with a thinkingLevelMap: ladder members map to themselves, everything else (incl. minimal) is hidden. Custom-row ladders are advertisement-only — the wire clamp in mapReasoningEffort reads provider config, not customModels — so without the map pi could offer (and send) levels the ladder does not contain. - Ladders are canonicalized into Codex order (low..ultra) at API and CLI ingress so a caller-chosen order cannot leak into supported_reasoning_levels. - GUI: enabling "Override reasoning effort" pre-checks the full ladder, so an accidental save with zero steps can no longer silently disable reasoning for the model (lidge-jun#883 semantics stays reachable deliberately). - CLI: ocx models add accepts "-" for both reasoning flags (inherit) and rejects an empty string; the parsing/validation is extracted into an exported parseReasoningArgs and covered by tests together with the edit flag mapping. - Removes the now-dead defaultReasoningEffort exposure from /api/models custom rows and the GUI ModelRow (CLI/API keep it on OcxCustomModel).
…iew findings - none and minimal are valid declared reasoning_effort values: accepted and canonicalized by the API and CLI, kept by catalog sanitize, never implicit defaults, and excluded from the mock max/ultra repair for sentinel-only ladders - pi export maps the off level to none when declared; minimal maps to itself - GUI dialog offers the full real-effort set: none, minimal, low, medium, high, xhigh, max (ultra stays a catalog-only label) - CodeRabbit: inherited default gap-fill guarded by effectiveLadder membership, native-alias explicit-override ordering, CLI usage errors, single JSON parse per response, pi.md adapter-dependent reasoning semantics - CLI regression suite: parseReasoningArgs, edit '-'->null, config persistence, list-custom output

…preselect, docs - GUI: initialization tracked by ref, not by array contents, so re-enabling the override preserves an intentionally empty ladder (explicit no-reasoning) and never resurrects previously cleared levels - GUI: first enable seeds from the model row's advertised ladder when known (providers may support a subset); unknown ids fall back to the full set, the wire clamp still bounds what is sent - pi.md documents the max->ultra thinkingLevelMap fallback

Trim the model ID before the capability lookup.
The submit handler trims customFormModelId at Line 1679, but this lookup compares the raw value. If a user pastes a known model ID with surrounding whitespace and enables reasoning before saving, the lookup misses the advertised row and seeds the full shared ladder. The payload then saves the trimmed ID with a ladder selected from the wrong capability source.
Proposed fix
+ const normalizedModelId = customFormModelId.trim();
- const row = models.find(m => m.provider === customModalProvider && m.id === customFormModelId);

The effort checkboxes rendered canonical identifiers as user-visible text. Add models.reasoningEffort.* keys to all 8 locales and render translated labels; state and payloads keep the canonical identifiers.

Deep re-review of the current head, including the full CodeRabbit history. Several earlier findings are genuinely fixed, but the PR still has merge-blocking correctness issues and a couple of review/test gaps:
1. Blocker: an explicit custom ladder can be widened and the synthetic effort can reach the upstream
applyReasoningLevels() adds synthetic max/ultra to most non-empty routed ladders. That policy is normally safe only because provider-level modelReasoningEfforts / reasoningEfforts are used by mapReasoningEffort() to clamp the requested effort before the provider request.
Custom-model reasoningEfforts are not part of that runtime clamp. For example, an unknown custom model with an explicit reasoningEfforts: ["low"] can be advertised in the Codex catalog as low,max,ultra; if Codex selects max, mapReasoningEffort() has no provider ladder to clamp against and can send reasoning_effort=max upstream even though the custom row explicitly declared only low.
Please either keep explicit custom-model ladders exact in the catalog (my preference), or make the custom row's ladder authoritative in the runtime effort clamp. Do not synthesize an advertised capability unless the wire path can safely clamp it.
2. Blocker: unknown custom models still default to every reasoning level
The known-model GUI path now seeds from the model's advertised ladder, but the unknown-model fallback still does:
setCustomFormReasoningEfforts(advertised ?? [...REASONING_EFFORT_LEVELS]);This is the substance of CodeRabbit's "Do not preselect unsupported provider capabilities" finding, and it is still real. A custom model is very often unknown to discovery/registry metadata; enabling the override then silently asserts every known effort level. The accompanying comment says the wire clamp bounds what is sent, but that is not true for a custom row whose provider has no modelReasoningEfforts entry (see finding 1).
When capability metadata is unknown, start with no selected levels and require the user to choose them explicitly. Preserve existing stored selections on edit.
3. Major: the GUI still cannot configure defaultReasoningEffort
The PR description says the Models dashboard now accepts a reasoning ladder plus a default effort. The API supports and validates defaultReasoningEffort, and /api/models even returns the stored value, but Models.tsx has no default-effort state/control, does not load it during edit, and does not include it in POST/PUT payloads.
This was also raised by CodeRabbit and remains unimplemented. A default configured through CLI/API cannot be viewed or changed in the dashboard; if the ladder is edited so the old default becomes invalid, the backend clears it and the GUI provides no way to choose a replacement.
Please add a default-effort selector tied to the selected ladder, load the stored default on edit, and include it in both create/update payloads. If the feature is intentionally CLI/API-only instead, remove the dashboard/default claims from the PR and do not expose a misleading partial flow.
4. Test-integrity: the stale-default transition tests still do not share state
CodeRabbit correctly noted that the "seed default, then shrink/null/empty ladder" tests need the same config fixture across both requests. The finding was marked addressed, but callCustomModels() still creates a fresh config object on every invocation.
Therefore the follow-up request does not contain the default written by the seed request. Those tests can pass even if the stale-default cleanup is removed from production code. The production cleanup currently looks correct, but the regression tests are giving false confidence.
Please give each transition test one shared mutable config object (or let the helper accept one) and use it for both requests.
5. Minor but real: normalize the model id before capability lookup
The capability lookup compares m.id === customFormModelId, while submit later saves customFormModelId.trim(). Pasting a known id with surrounding whitespace can miss the capability row, enter the unsafe unknown-model fallback, then save the trimmed known id with the wrong seeded ladder.
Use the same trimmed model id for lookup and submission.
Merge readiness
The PR head is also no longer based on current dev, and current dev has overlapping changes in gui/src/pages/Models.tsx and the locale files. Please update/rebase onto current dev, resolve the overlap, rerun CI, and recheck the reasoning UI after the merge.
I rechecked the other CodeRabbit findings as well. The override precedence, stale-default production cleanup, explicit-empty semantics, malformed CSV handling, toggle preservation, initialization tracking, localization, Pi ultra mapping, fetch restoration, help text, duplicate declarations, and Pi documentation findings are addressed on this head; no need to revisit those unless the rebase changes them.

What
The custom-model dialog in the Models dashboard (and
ocx models add/edit) now accepts an explicit reasoning ladder plus a default effort, instead of only display name / context window / modalities.Why
Routed models show no reasoning control in clients (Codex, Pi, opencode) unless a ladder is configured, and the dashboard-created custom rows had no way to set one. With this PR:
reasoningEfforts/defaultReasoningEffortinto the generated Codex catalog, winning over the provider-derived ladder (the [Bug]: Custom model rows drop provider reasoning metadata from the Codex catalog #962 inheritance stays gap-fill-only).null(GUI) /-(CLI) restores inheritance.reasoning: truefor any row with a non-empty ladder — the catalog's own statement that the model accepts reasoning parameters — so Pi's effort control appears for routed models.
