### `ocx effort [status|set|clear]`

실행 중인 프록시를 통해 메인·서브에이전트의 reasoning-effort 상한을 조회하거나 변경하며,
프록시가 없으면 로컬 설정을 사용합니다. 상한은 `low`, `medium`, `high`, `xhigh`, `max`,
`ultra`이고, `-`는 해당 상한을 해제합니다. `none`과 `minimal`은 상한 단계가 아니므로 같은
명령의 다른 옵션이 유효하더라도 프록시 탐색이나 설정 변경 요청 전에 거부됩니다.

```bash
ocx effort status --json
ocx effort set --main high --subagent low
ocx effort set --subagent -
```

상태 조회는 저장값 또는 런타임 상한 원문을 보존하고, 지원하지 않는 값은 `warnings`에 표시합니다
(모두 지원되는 값이면 빈 배열). 일반 출력에도 같은 경고가 나오며, 무시되는 필드와 수정 명령을
안내합니다. 상태 조회가 기존 값을 자동으로 복구하거나 덮어쓰지는 않습니다. 서브에이전트 필드가
무시되더라도 유효한 메인 상한이 사라지는 것은 아닙니다. `ocx effort clear`는 별도의 injection-effort
설정을 유지하면서 두 상한을 해제합니다. 상한이 적용되는 요청 surface는
[Sub-agent surfaces](/ko/guides/sub-agent-surface/)를 참고하세요.

### `ocx effort [status|set|clear]`

Inspect or change main and subagent reasoning-effort caps through the live proxy, or the local
configuration when no proxy is available. Cap values are `low`, `medium`, `high`, `xhigh`, `max`,
and `ultra`; `-` clears the selected cap. `none` and `minimal` are not cap levels and are rejected
before probing the proxy or submitting an update, including when another option in the same command is valid.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Document the separate injection-effort contract.

src/cli/effort.ts accepts none and minimal for ocx effort set --injection, but these sections only describe their rejection as cap values. Add an explicit --injection example and state that its accepted values are separate from cap validation. Also state that a valid CLI cap can still be mapped or clamped later by a provider adapter.

  • docs-site/src/content/docs/reference/cli/agents.md#L38-L41: document --injection none|minimal separately from --main and --subagent, and identify later adapter mapping as a separate layer.
  • docs-site/src/content/docs/ko/reference/cli/agents.md#L21-L24: add the equivalent Korean clarification so it remains synchronized with the English source.

As per coding guidelines: “Document current shipped or intentionally pending behavior.” As per path instructions: “Check that user-facing docs stay in sync with actual CLI/API behavior.”

@coderabbitai Please reassess this as a scope/documentation suggestion rather than a correctness defect in the changed cap section.

The current paragraph explicitly discusses main/subagent cap values, says none and minimal are not cap levels, and separately identifies the retained injection-effort setting. It does not say those values are rejected by every effort option.

The proposed unqualified --injection none|minimal example would not match the live path. The CLI preserves its separate injection validator, but the existing live injection API accepts only isCodexReasoningEffort and returns 400 for those sentinels. They are accepted by the offline CLI path, not consistently by both paths. This pre-existing discrepancy is explicitly preserved and listed as outside this cap correction in the PR description; the new docs avoid promising unsupported live behavior.

Provider-specific mapping and cap eligibility are likewise unchanged; the section links the broader subagent guide rather than adding a new mapping guarantee. The change here is canonical cap validation and truthful read-only reporting of ignored legacy values. The complete exact-head contributor CI has now passed all 26 jobs.

No code/doc change is proposed for this comment because the current cap-specific wording is accurate, while the requested general sentinel example would need the separate live/offline policy caveat. Please withdraw/resolve the correctness finding, or identify a specific incorrect claim in the current cap text.

```bash
ocx effort status --json
ocx effort set --main high --subagent low
ocx effort set --subagent -
```

Status preserves existing stored/runtime cap values and reports unsupported values in `warnings`
(an empty array when none are unsupported). The same warnings appear in human output and name the
field that is ignored with a correction command. Status never repairs or rewrites those values.
An ignored subagent field does not remove a valid main cap. `ocx effort clear` clears both caps
while retaining the separate injection-effort setting. See [Sub-agent surfaces](/guides/sub-agent-surface/)
for the request surfaces where caps apply.

(`src/server/effort-policy.ts`): they lower or preserve the requested effort rather than rejecting
the request, and they never raise it.

The `ocx effort` CLI accepts only the same canonical cap ladder before live probing or persistence.
Its status output preserves unsupported legacy cap values and reports that those fields are ignored;
the read does not normalize or migrate them, and an ignored subagent field does not disable a valid
main cap. Injection-effort input remains a separate contract.

Operator-owned `pinnedReasoningEffort`, `modelPinnedReasoningEfforts`, and root
`modelPinnedEfforts` resolve before applicable effort caps at the final destination.
Provider model pins precede provider-wide pins, then global selector/destination pins.
