via config or CLI flag. Updates code, tests, example config, and docs.

When unset (default), the model's own default reasoning level is used. Setting a value overrides it — higher reasoning effort gives better results on complex tasks at the cost of more tokens and latency.
When unset (default), reasoning effort defaults to "medium" — a balanced level that works well for most tasks. Setting a value overrides it — higher reasoning effort gives better results on complex tasks at the cost of more tokens and latency.
