fix(clinepass): preserve full reasoning effort ladder

[Wibias]

Summary

ClinePass was declared with provider-wide reasoningEfforts: ["low"], which made OpenCodex clamp every higher Codex request before it reached the gateway.

A live probe on 2026-08-13 tested all 11 static ClinePass models against low, medium, high, xhigh, and max. Every valid tier was accepted, while an invalid sentinel was rejected with the gateway's accepted reasoning enum.

This PR therefore advertises the full ClinePass input ladder and preserves the caller's requested tier. Any model/backend-specific normalization remains ClinePass's responsibility.

The existing reasoning: { enabled, effort } wire shape is intentionally unchanged; the probe confirmed that shape is accepted.

Regression coverage

• all 11 static ClinePass models preserve low / medium / high / xhigh / max;
• cline-pass/deepseek-v4-flash preserves max instead of clamping it;
• Codex ultra still crosses the provider boundary as max;
• explicit reasoning disable and the gateway-object wire remain covered by the existing provider tests.

Live-probe evidence

Probe date: 2026-08-13
Endpoint: https://api.cline.bot/api/v1/chat/completions

The probe stored no credential or response content. Every static ClinePass model returned success for each of low / medium / high / xhigh / max; an invalid sentinel was rejected with the accepted enum none|minimal|low|medium|high|xhigh|max.

This establishes the gateway input contract. It does not claim that every backend exposes five distinct native compute modes.

Verification

Current head: cd077d34f4b944766449e823c85507f70c2d89ae

Rebuilt directly on current dev c306fb53cbfaae398168610c5d9085d1f41fb1f0. Exact-head CI and the legacy saved-preset upgrade path are being verified before this draft is marked ready.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features

  • ClinePass now supports reasoning levels from low through max.
  • Requested reasoning levels are preserved across supported models and gateway requests.
  • Unsupported ultra settings are normalized appropriately.
  • Legacy configurations are automatically updated to use the complete supported range.

• Documentation

  • Updated provider documentation in all supported languages to reflect reasoning-tier support.
  • Clarified credential-import documentation.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

ClinePass now advertises and preserves low through max reasoning efforts. Routing repairs canonical legacy configurations that list only low, while custom destinations remain unchanged. Tests cover preservation, normalization, repair, and gateway payloads.

Changes

ClinePass reasoning support

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Capability metadata and documentation src/providers/registry.ts, docs-site/src/content/docs/*/guides/providers.md	ClinePass now supports low, medium, high, xhigh, and max reasoning efforts. Related validation wording and documentation spacing were updated.
Legacy configuration repair src/router.ts	Routing detects canonical cline-pass configurations with only low and replaces that list with a cloned registry list.
Reasoning preservation validation tests/cline-pass-provider.test.ts, tests/cline-pass-reasoning-efforts.test.ts	Tests verify supported efforts, max preservation, ultra normalization, canonical repair, gateway payloads, and custom-destination isolation.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Mergeability Score: 🔵 Low · up to afe40

The PR restores higher ClinePass reasoning tiers without supplied evidence of a product regression. It is mergeable with explicit owner follow-up for the bounded documentation lint issue in the Japanese provider guide.

[Ingwannu]

Confirmed the intended RED state on exact head a8ed6bf082d545215e323105e815206a12677c2b: both focused tests fail for the claimed current behavior. The registry still carries provider-wide reasoningEfforts: ["low"], and a ClinePass DeepSeek V4 Flash request for max is built as effort: "low" instead of high. This is a valid regression contract, but the PR is test-only and intentionally red, so it should remain draft until the implementation, per-model provenance, focused green run, typecheck/privacy scan, and exact-head CI are added.
