Bug Description
Why would max effort (my default mode) suddenly become max verbosity? The more words there are, the less meaning they carry. Claude Opus 4.7 in default mode is a stupid blabber, if compared to Opus 4.6 when max reasoning is on. A good thinker expresses thoughts in a more concise manner, when compared to someone who doesn't think through as much. Please allow me to regulate verbosity (or at least don't force it on me), or else I feel I am forced to turn Claude into a Caveman. This word diarrhea is intolerable.

No erros, just subtle (unconfigurable AFAIK), drift in behavior.
