≤400-line redo of #1338 — DTE series 2/5, unit 3/5

Task-local runtime thinking-effort state on Task: the in-memory override
channel, its per-request delivery at all four createMessage sites, and the
profile-switch re-capture in updateApiConfiguration. Transient state only — nothing is persisted; persistence is the next unit (U4).

Stack

GitHub's displayed diff vs main is cumulative over the unmerged lower units
(U1 #1521, U2 #1522); the standalone range below is the review target — the displayed number shrinks as they merge. Merge this PR only after its stack
base PR has merged.

Budget (plan §2: a+d ≤400 soft target; ≤1000 hard)

2 files changed, 397 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) = 398 ≤400

File a+d
src/core/task/Task.ts 96+/1−
src/core/task/__tests__/Task.runtime-thinking-effort.test.ts (new) 301+

Budget deviation note (plan §2.6). The plan estimated U3 at ~355
(Task +132/− + tests ~20); those numbers were stale. Measured against the
union, the U3 slice is Task +105/− + a 311-line test file = 417 > 400. Per
§2.6 (no budget bypass), the dispose boundary group is split into U4:
the task-end override reset (6 Task lines + 3 DTE JSDoc lines) and its
12-line describe("dispose") test block. This matches the plan's own U4 scope
line ("persistence + boundary cases"). U3 keeps the generic 4-line dispose()
JSDoc; U4 expands it with the DTE sentence alongside the reset code.

Provenance / fidelity

  • Task.ts: 3-way git merge-file — base 39bdfb188 (= 6ea45b36a^),
    ours = U2 head, theirs = 90b47b053 (the last U3 commit, before the U4
    persistence work). Zero conflicts. A whole-file extract was impossible:
    the union's Task.ts carries U14-orchestrator and U4/U5 content
    (215+/241− vs U1 head), and per-commit git apply --3way of the U3 patches
    fails on upstream base drift.
  • Test file: byte-exact 90b47b053 version (311 lines) minus the dispose
    describe (12 lines + separator), plus the 3 mutation-killing assertion
    lines below = 301 lines; the header comment is trimmed to the U3 scope
    ("the task-end reset in dispose()" clause moves with U4).
  • U4 content excluded: taskMetadata.ts / history.ts persistence changes,
    the describe("history persistence round-trip") and
    describe("abortTask final save") blocks, and the HistoryItem import
    (unused in the U3 slice).
  • src/eslint-suppressions.json: untouched. The union's +21 suppression-count
    deltas vs the stack base are all in files owned by other units
    (gemini-format.spec.ts 5→6, ask-queued-message-drain.spec.ts 18→32,
    newTaskTool.spec.ts 26→31, new extension.ts 1) — none U3-owned.

Out of scope (next units)

  • U4 (DTE-2c): persist task thinking effort to history items,
    taskMetadata merge propagation, and the task-end override reset split out
    above (dispose boundary + its test).
  • U5 (DTE-2d): the Anthropic output_config.effort adaptive envelope.

Mutation-diff fix (killing assertions, plan L42 — same PR)

The first CI mutation-diff run (head d0b1a3dcd) reported 2 Survived
ConditionalExpression mutants — both on the two ternaries this unit
introduces:

Location Surviving variant Fix (this PR)
setRuntimeThinkingEffort source capture: effort === undefined ? undefined : source replacement: false ⇒ always source: a label passed on a clearing call leaks into source the clearing call now carries a label (setRuntimeThinkingEffort(undefined, "stale-source")); the existing source: undefined assertion then kills the variant
getRuntimeThinkingEffortMetadata: effort !== undefined ? { reasoningEffort } : {} replacement: true ⇒ always { reasoningEffort: <maybe undefined> } key-absence assertion not.toHaveProperty("reasoningEffort") while unset — toEqual({}) cannot kill it (toEqual ignores keys whose value is undefined); asserted pre-set and post-clear

The complementary variants (L1683-true, L1721-false) were already killed by
the existing toBe("test-source") and toEqual({ reasoningEffort: "high" })
assertions.

Local dev-stage gate on the sync head (skill §5.1):
node scripts/stryker-diff.mjs ci --base 069c34b9a --head e8c66cfad — extension 35 changed lines, 25 valid mutants, 25 Killed, 0 Survived / 0 NoCoverage, exit 0 (re-run on the main-sync head; identical selection as the second-sync head).

Verification (local, head e8c66cfad)

  • pnpm --dir src exec eslint --prune-suppressions --max-warnings=0 core/task/Task.ts core/task/__tests__/Task.runtime-thinking-effort.test.ts — exit 0 (no suppression-count change; U3's two files are byte-identical through the third sync)
  • pnpm check-types — 11/11 projects
  • pnpm --filter zoo-code exec vitest run core/task/__tests__/Task.runtime-thinking-effort.test.ts — 8/8 (re-run on the main-sync head e8c66cfad, 4.72 s)
  • git diff --shortstat 069c34b9a HEAD — 397+/1− = 398 (≤400 soft target; unchanged)
  • mutation-diff gate (dev stage, skill §5.1) on the main-sync head e8c66cfad — exit 0, 25/25 Killed (see fix above)

Layer / File(s) Summary
Experiment contracts and defaults
packages/types/src/experiment.ts, src/shared/experiments.ts, packages/types/src/__tests__/experiment.test.ts, src/shared/__tests__/experiments.spec.ts
Adds the optional experiment ID and schema field. Registers the experiment as disabled by default and tests valid, invalid, enabled, and disabled states.
Reasoning effort resolution
src/api/index.ts, src/api/transform/reasoning.ts, src/api/transform/__tests__/dte-effective-reasoning-effort.spec.ts
Adds transient request metadata, adaptive effort values, and precedence resolution from request override to settings value to model default.
Task-local runtime state and request propagation
src/core/task/Task.ts, src/core/task/__tests__/Task.runtime-thinking-effort.test.ts
Stores task-local overrides, preserves them across profile changes, restores profile values when cleared, and attaches active overrides to API requests.
Experiment settings and localization
src/core/webview/..., webview-ui/src/components/settings/..., webview-ui/playwright/gallery/stories.tsx, webview-ui/src/i18n/locales/*/settings.json
Adds settings persistence, webview state handling, UI interaction tests, visual coverage, gallery wiring, and localized setting labels.

Stryker Vitest discovery

Layer / File(s) Summary
Extension mutation-test discovery
scripts/stryker-diff.mjs, scripts/stryker-diff.test.mjs
Enables Vitest-related test discovery for the extension package and updates manifest assertions for the new flags.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to e8c66

This change adds transient per-task thinking-effort overrides to API requests. A disposed task can retain its old override state, and its tests may leave cleanup running after aborts; these bounded lifecycle issues should be corrected before merge.

Full details: Regression Evidence

Explanation

The Task state tests cover setRuntimeThinkingEffort, updateApiConfiguration, and the private getRuntimeThinkingEffortMetadata helper. They do not execute the changed request paths. Task.ts adds the metadata spread in condenseContext, forced context-window handling, context-management handling, and the normal attemptApiRequest call. The focused test never calls these methods or api.createMessage; it only calls the private helper directly. Therefore, a missing or misplaced spread at any call site can pass. The tests also always provide a settings reasoningEffort; they omit the valid unset case where clearing an override or switching to a profile without reasoningEffort must restore an absent value.

Resolution

Add focused Task tests that invoke each affected request path with mocked downstream functions and assert that api.createMessage or the condense/context-management boundary receives metadata.reasoningEffort while an override is active and omits the property when inactive or cleared. Add a test with no initial reasoningEffort, and a profile switch whose incoming configuration omits it, then assert that clearing the override restores the unset state.

Clear runtime effort state during disposal.

dispose() calls disposeOnce(), but disposal does not clear runtimeThinkingEffort, runtimeThinkingEffortSource, or preOverrideReasoningEffort. A retained disposed task therefore still returns the old override from getRuntimeThinkingEffort(). Reset these fields in disposeOnce(), or remove the comments that claim disposal resets transient task-local state.

As per path instructions, check persistence and lifecycle invariants, including safe restart/resume without lost or duplicated state.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Always await Task.dispose() in teardown.

task.abort only indicates that the abort flag is set. abortTaskOnce() starts dispose() without awaiting its full promise, so this guard can leave asynchronous cleanup pending for aborted tests. Task.dispose() is idempotent; call it unconditionally.

Proposed fix
-		if (task && !task.abort) {
+		if (task) {
			await task.dispose().catch(() => {})
		}

As per path instructions, test teardown must complete cleanup deterministically.
