ZacharyZhang-NY 5919526e91 Show reasoning effort in the model's own vocabulary (K3: max, not xhigh)
The welcome and prompt model labels (and /effort's 'current' hint)
rendered the canonical internal level name, so K3 at its default effort
showed 'K3 (xhigh)' even though the server's vocabulary for that level is
'max' (live /models think_efforts: low/high/max).

New ModelState::reasoning_effort_display() resolves the current effort
through the model's own effort menu (option id whose value matches),
falling back to the canonical name only when the model has no entry for
the level. All three display sites route through it; test pins the K3
mapping (Xhigh → 'max', Low → 'low', no-menu-entry → canonical).

kigi-tui

Terminal UI (TUI) for Grok Build. Provides the interactive full-screen interface including the scrollback view, prompt input, session management, and all modal dialogs.

Key Concepts

  • AppView — owns the welcome screen, agent sessions, and global config
  • AgentView — one per session; owns the prompt, scrollback, tool panes, and modals
  • PromptWidget — text editor component with file search (@), slash commands (/), history search, and paste elements
  • Action/Effect — Elm-style architecture: input → Action → dispatch → Effect → state update
