Problem

A Muse turn can launch background work, such as a workflow, and end while that work keeps running. When the work finishes, Muse starts a follow-up turn by itself to report it. That follow-up ignores the thread's reasoning effort and runs at Muse's configured default. With max selected, the report runs at whatever the host default is. A PreLLMCall hook that requires an explicit effort blocks it, so the run fails and the final reply never arrives (#17502).

T3 only sends effort inside turn/start, and Muse applies that effort to that one turn. The follow-up never gets a turn/start from T3, because Muse started it and the adapter adopts the running turn. Muse resolves its effort from the session default, which T3 never sets.

Change

Before a turn, the Muse adapter now calls session/setReasoningEffort when the selected effort differs from the last one it set on that session. In Muse's protocol this is the session's standing default. A turn that carries its own reasoningEffort overrides it for that turn only, and every turn launched afterwards uses it, including the ones Muse starts itself. turn/start still carries the effort as before.

The adapter remembers the last effort it set and forgets it whenever it attaches a session: a new session, a resume, or a relaunch after a host failure. Each session gets one call before its first turn, and another only when the user changes effort. The call sits next to the existing session/setModel call and fails the turn the same way if Muse rejects it.

Only the T3-owned Muse session changes. Muse's host-wide configured default, which the user's other Muse sessions use, stays as it was. If the user later opens the same session in Muse directly, it keeps the thread's last effort.

Scope and approval

Fixes #17502, an open bug report with no maintainer reply yet. The change stays inside the Muse adapter. No contract, client or orchestration code changes. It awaits maintainer review, and two choices are for maintainers to confirm:

A rejected session/setReasoningEffort fails the turn, like session/setModel does. The method is in the protocol of the Muse 1.4.6 SDK that T3 pins, and a live 1.4.13 host accepts it. A host without the method would fail turns instead of falling back to per-turn effort.
The eight Muse replay fixtures each gain the session/setReasoningEffort request and its accepted response before the first turn/start. I added these frames by hand to match a live Muse 1.4.13 capture, and each fixture's header says so. Later client request ids shift by one, and the minted command id joins each fixture's metadata. I left out the session/reasoningEffortChanged broadcast Muse also sends, since the adapter ignores it.

A comment on the issue reports a similar gap for Codex async-answer turns, which start without a model selection. That is a different cause in a different path, and this PR does not touch it.

Verification

New test in packages/provider-muse/src/server/adapter.test.ts: "runs the follow-up turns Muse starts itself at the thread's selected effort". The fake Muse host now resolves each turn's effort the way the protocol defines it: the turn/start effort, then the session default, then its own default. The test runs a user turn at max, then the host starts its own follow-up with no per-turn effort, and the adapter adopts it through the continuation request. It checks that the follow-up completes and ran at max, then repeats after switching to low. On main it fails because the follow-up runs at the host default. On this branch it passes.
vp test run src/server/adapter.test.ts in packages/provider-muse: 40 passed.
vp test run src/orchestration-v2/testkit/MuseReplayFixtures.integration.test.ts in apps/server: 8 passed. With the fix and the old fixtures, simple fails with a replay mismatch at the new request, as expected. multi_turn and muse_permission run two turns at the same effort and pass with a single call.
vp fmt --check and vp lint on the changed files, and the provider-muse typecheck, pass.
Live: I ran the simple scenario through the repo's Muse recorder against a Muse Code 1.4.13 host on this branch. Muse accepted session/setReasoningEffort with high, broadcast session/reasoningEffortChanged with source: "user", and the following turn/start was admitted. The model call then hit the subscription quota, so that recording is evidence only, not a fixture.

The new test on main. Muse's own follow-up turn runs at the host default.

The new test, the adapter test file and the Muse replay fixtures on this branch.

The adapter tests and Muse replay fixtures passing on this branch

Frames from a live Muse Code 1.4.13 host on this branch. Muse accepts the session default before the turn starts.

Live Muse frames: session/setReasoningEffort accepted before turn/start

This is a server-only change. The thread already shows the selected effort, and no screen renders new data. What changes is the effort Muse's own follow-up turns run at.

Not checked:

A live background workflow end to end, confirming that Muse's own follow-up turn runs at the selected effort. Muse quota had run out, so this rests on the protocol's definition of the session default plus the accepted call above.
Muse hosts older than 1.4.6.

Walkthrough

The Muse adapter now tracks session reasoning effort and applies changed selections before eligible turns. Tests cover effort on Muse-started follow-up turns. Transcript fixtures add high-effort setup exchanges and update related JSON-RPC IDs.

Changes: Muse reasoning-effort continuity

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Track and apply session effort `packages/provider-muse/src/server/adapter.ts`	The adapter resets tracked effort after session registration. Before a non-continuation turn, it sends `session/setReasoningEffort` when the defined selection differs from the tracked value.
Test effort continuity `packages/provider-muse/src/server/adapter.test.ts`, `apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/testkit/fixtures/*/muse_transcript.ndjson`	The test fake records session and per-turn effort. A test checks the effort on Muse-started follow-up turns. The fixtures add high-effort exchanges and update subsequent JSON-RPC IDs.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title "fix(muse): background-work follow-ups keep the thread's reasoning effort" matches the main change. The diff makes the Muse adapter call session/setReasoningEffort before turns when the selected effort changes, so Muse-started follow-up turns run at the thread's effort. The title is short, specific, and in conventional commit form. It does not name every file, which is expected.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the template. It has Problem, Change, Scope and approval, and Verification sections, and each is filled in with specific content. The Problem section gives the bug, reproduction context, and issue #17502. The Change section explains the session/setReasoningEffort call and its reset behavior. Scope and approval links the issue, names the open maintainer decisions, and explains the protocol assumptions. Verification lists the focused tests with results, the fixture checks, lint and typecheck, and a live capture. It also states what was not checked. The template asks for a model and harness note at the end, and the author gives one. The description does not link a maintainer approval comment, so the scope section relies on a bug report with no maintainer reply. The template asks for explicit approval for scope, so this gap is worth noting. It does not make the description largely incomplete.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

The change satisfies [#17502]. adapter.ts stores the effort sent to the Muse session, resets it when the session is registered, and sends session/setReasoningEffort before a non-continuation turn when the selected effort changes. Muse-started continuation turns therefore use the session default. The existing per-turn turn/start effort remains. The new adapter test verifies follow-ups at max and low, and the reported adapter and replay fixture tests pass.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The changes stay within the Muse adapter and its automated tests and replay fixtures. The fixture updates model the new protocol exchange. No unrelated Codex, client, contract, or orchestration behavior changes are shown.

27

Profiles that keep a built-in profile's filesystem rules, `:unrestricted` included, keep working; profiles that add or change filesystem rules (deny rules included), add `workspace_roots`, or add Unix-socket rules are refused — most users can delete those rules and relaunch

173
174	## Select a model
175
176	The default model is `muse-spark-1.2`. Override it per run with `--model`, or switch mid-session with the `/models` slash command:
177
178	bash
179
180	`

187
188	`--reasoning-effort` trades latency for depth: `none`, `minimal`, `low`, `medium`, `high` (default), `xhigh`, `max`, `ultra`. Change it mid-session with `/effort`.
189

198	## Launch flags
199
200	Muse Code has two launch surfaces with separate flag sets: the interactive TUI (`muse …`) and headless (`muse exec …`). Some flags exist on only one.
201
202	Common to both:
203
204	* `--model <id>`, `--reasoning-effort <level>`: model and reasoning depth.
205
206	* `--sandbox-network <mode>`, `--disable-sandbox`, `--disable-approval`, `--yolo`, `--trust-workspace`: permissions and sandbox.
207
208	* `--approval-mode <mode>`, `--approval-judge <on\|off>`: tune approvals.
209
210	* `--subagent-worktree-isolation`: compatibility flag. </excerpt>

225	Confirmed as a real serve-path gap and tracked internally (P1). Your relay evidence matches what we see in the code: the turn-level value is recorded but the served turn does not apply it to the provider request the way the CLI path does. A fix is being staffed now; this issue will get the fix version when it ships.

240
241	Update: this is fixed, and your report was accurate for the build you tested (Muse Code 1.0.3).
242
243	* Per-turn forwarding: a `reasoningEffort` sent on `turn/start` now reaches the provider request for that turn, and a tier sent on `turn/steer` applies from the turn's next model call. When the field is omitted, no reasoning key is injected.
244	* Standing default: there is also a new session-level default so a client doesn't have to resend the tier on every submit — `session/setReasoningEffort` (with a `session/reasoningEffortChanged` notification, and the current value readable in the session snapshot state). A turn that carries its own `reasoningEffort` still overrides the default for that turn only.
245	* Both are first shipped in Muse Code 1.2.1. Regression tests now run these exact scenarios against the real serve assembly with the provider request bodies captured, including the omitted-tier and forced-`max` cases (`max` rides to the provider verbatim, never clamped).
246	* Your companion report (`max` rejected as an unknown variant on `turn/start`) was fixed separately — `max` is accepted on the wire, also in 1.2.1.
247
248	One piece of your evidence is still a real gap on the current code: `settings.json` `reasoning_effort` staged on the serve host is still not applied as a host default (it works on `exec`). That is now tracked internally, so it won't get lost. Until that lands, use the per-turn field or `session/setReasoningEffort` on the serve path.

262	Update: this is already fixed on main and first shipped in Muse Code 1.2.1 — on a 1.2.1 or later host, `turn/start reasoningEffort` (and `session/setReasoningEffort`) reaches the provider request. Your capture was on 1.0.3. One related arm remains open on our side: honoring a `reasoning_effort` set in settings.json for the serve host (tracked internally). Please re-test on 1.2.1+ and reopen here if you still see identical provider bodies across tiers.

Guard the session setter for older Muse hosts.

Muse Code added session/setReasoningEffort in version 1.2.1. The provider does not reject older configured binaries. If such a host rejects this method, the awaited request fails before turn/start, so the existing per-turn reasoningEffort value cannot preserve the turn.

Gate this setter by the host capability or version. If unsupported, skip the session-default update and continue to turn/start, which already carries the selected effort for the current turn.

Note

Written by gpt-6.1-sol on behalf of Maria

thanks @only21mil. your session-default setter addresses the right cause, and your host-started follow-up regression and replay updates are retained in https://git.cafe/pingdotgg/t3code/pulls/25506.

github rejected the non-force push to your fork's existing branch despite advertising maintainer edits, so i rebuilt the change on current main with your co-author credit. the replacement adds a method-not-found fallback for older hosts while keeping other setter failures visible. i compared your full diff against the replacement: no original behavior was dropped; the eight fixture updates were moved onto current main and two compatibility tests were added.

blacksmith passed vp run check:changed, all 42 adapter tests, and all 8 muse orchestration replays. the follow-up regression fails against current main as expected. live background-turn verification remains unverified because this vm has no muse binary or login. @only21mil, a live capture showing a host-started follow-up at the selected effort would close that gap.

Closing in favour of #25507, which makes the same change. Thanks for the work here!
