Regression: `/effort` now persists globally; previously was per-session
Bug Description
Setting /effort high (or xhigh) used to apply only to the current session and reset on next session start. Currently it writes effortLevel to settings.json and persists across sessions, forcing a manual reset each time.
Expected: parity with fastModePerSessionOptIn — either restore prior per-session behaviour, or add an effortLevelPerSessionOptIn flag so users can opt back in.
This effectively reduces the workflow to single-threaded whenever you want claude to put more effort into a single item 👎
Repro:
_Regression 1:_
Silently resets effort _globally, with no notice_. Have two sessions A and B open with effort set to medium. In session A, run /effort high. Observe that in session B, effort is immediately set to high instead of remaining medium as expected.
Regression 2:
Persists across sessions, undesirable:
/effort high → exit → relaunch → effort still high.Environment Info

Closed as duplicate. Although three weeks with no attention from Anthropic really indicates claude should go fix it 🙄
