Preflight Checklist
- [x] I have searched existing issues and this hasn't been reported yet
- [x] This is a single bug report (please file separate reports for different bugs)
- [x] I am using the latest version of Claude Code
What's Wrong?
Updated to v2.1.111 on a Max $200 plan. Previously used model 4.6 with medium/auto effort. On selecting Recommended Opus 4.7, effort selected was xhigh instead of medium. Auto effort removed. Placing effort next to max will waste thousands of tokens
What Should Happen?
Effort selection should mirror prior selection in 2.1.210 or medium as a proper default.
