feat(jev): decide effort on every pinned turn with sessionPin.effort per-turn - #8549
A JEV session pin (#7525) keeps a client session on the target JEV chose for its first request, which protects the provider prompt cache. It also freezes the first decision's effort for the whole session. A session that starts with a planning request at max and continues with small edits pays max on every turn, while a session that starts with a short question stays at low when the work gets harder.
On a reused turn whose pinned target offers more than one effort, the Combo sends one decision request with the pinned target as the only candidate. An applied answer for that target sets the turn's effort, and the completion rewrites the pin with it.
Any other answer, a thrown or timed-out decision call, or a single-effort target keeps the pinned decision exactly as today. A cancellation during the call returns the client-cancelled response.
The default stays unchanged. effort is absent or "pinned", which normalization drops, so stored configs stay sparse.
Such a turn persists pinned: true with the new pinReason: "session_effort". jev-stats counts it as pinned and also as a decision, since it sent one. Normalization accepts pinned only with session or session_effort.
CLI: ocx combo set <id> --session-pin-effort <pinned|per-turn>. A new --session-pin keeps the stored mode, the mode alone keeps the stored TTL, and the flag is refused without a pin or outside jev. The capabilities registry and the generated skill surface are updated.
GUI: editing the idle window keeps a mode set through the CLI or API, and the dirty check compares it. There is no new control.
Docs: guide section Deciding effort on every pinned turn, the configuration reference row and structure/providers/jev-decision.md.
Verification
bun test tests/server/server-jev-session-pin.test.ts: 13 pass. Three new runtime cases cover per-turn effort with only the pinned target offered, an off-target answer and a failed call keeping the pinned effort, and a single-effort target skipping the call.
bun test tests/routing/jev-session-pin.test.ts tests/cli/cli-combo-session-pin.test.ts: 21 pass. They cover normalization, persisted session_effort pairing, stats counting and CLI/API round trips.
bun run typecheck passes, and the GUI tsc -b via TYPECHECK_FILES=gui/src/combo-workspace-data.ts bun run typecheck:gui:if-changed exits 0.
bun run structure:check and bun run skill:surface:check pass.
bun run test (macOS, local) exited 1 with 54 failing cases. They are in messaging-remote-send, ci-bun-install-frozen, update-stop-first, catalog-async-lifetime and the catalog sync files. Running those files on an untouched origin/dev checkout fails the same cases, except two. codex-catalog-sync-hardening "drops legacy combo-alias ghost rows" and native-ultrafast-picker "retained-sync writes native Ultrafast" failed only under the full parallel run. Rerun alone on this branch, both files pass with 54 pass and 0 fail. The Ubuntu PR subset is left to CI.

Summary by CodeRabbit
New Features
Added an optional per-turn effort mode for pinned JEV sessions. It keeps the selected target pinned while allowing effort selection on each turn when multiple efforts are available.
Added CLI support for setting the mode, with existing pin settings preserved when updating the pin.
Bug Fixes
Updating a session-pin TTL in the GUI now preserves its effort mode.
Per-turn effort decisions are included in decision statistics; failed or invalid decisions retain the pinned effort.
Screenshot
The dashboard still edits only the idle window. The change is that saving it keeps a per-turn mode set through the CLI or API. In this capture from a branch build, a Combo stored as { "ttlMs": 1200000, "effort": "per-turn" } had its window changed to 1800000 and saved. config.json then read {"ttlMs":1800000,"effort":"per-turn"}. Before this change, the same edit saved { "ttlMs": 1800000 } and silently dropped the mode.
Pinned JEV sessions can now retain the selected target while choosing its effort on each reused turn. The change adds configuration and CLI and GUI controls, handles per-turn decisions and fallbacks, updates usage statistics, and documents and tests the behavior.
Session-pin configuration accepts effort: "per-turn" and normalizes "pinned" to the default representation. The CLI can set the mode and preserves it when changing the TTL. GUI comparisons detect effort changes, and TTL edits retain the mode.

For a reused pin with per-turn mode and multiple available efforts, the server requests a decision for only the pinned target. It applies a valid result for that target, retains the prior effort on unusable results or failures, and returns cancellation when the request is aborted. A target with one effort skips the additional decision request.

The session_effort reason is recognized as a pinned reason. Its requests count as decisions and pinned requests, and contribute latency and tokens to decision statistics.

The new per-turn effort mode is opt-in and the default is unchanged. A few minor issues remain: decision statistics are incomplete, redundant decision calls occur in client effort mode, a CLI label is misleading, and editing the TTL in the classic dashboard resets the mode. These can be fixed with small follow-ups.

Skip effort-only decisions when jevEffortMode is client.
A Combo can have both jevEffortMode: "client" and sessionPin.effort: "per-turn". This condition still sends an effort decision on each reused multi-effort turn.
However, Line 1083 explicitly prevents that decision's effort from reaching the child in client mode. The extra call cannot change the target either, because this branch offers only the pinned target. It adds decision latency and possible decision-service usage without affecting inference.
Exclude client mode from this branch. Add a regression test that combines both settings and verifies that a reused turn sends no extra decision request while preserving caller effort.

Keep decision-call telemetry when the effort answer cannot apply.
If the effort request returns invalid, http, or timeout, this branch discards effortDecision. The retained decision has pinReason: "session", gate: "apply", and zero latency. Logging at Line 851 then records the turn as if no decision call occurred. src/usage/jev-stats.ts Line 414 excludes that record from decision totals.
This also discards any reported decision usage from an unusable answer. Statistics therefore omit failed per-turn calls and report no fail-open decisions for those calls.
Keep the pinned target and effort for dispatch and pin completion. Track the decision-call result separately for logging, including its gate, latency, and usage. Count attempted per-turn decisions even when their answers cannot apply. Update the expectation at tests/server/server-jev-session-pin.test.ts Line 345 accordingly.

Update the CLI label for the expanded pinned-request count.
session_effort now contributes to both pinnedRequests and decisions. However, src/cli/combo-stats.ts Line 116 renders the entire pinned count as "Session-pinned requests (no decision call)".
After an applied per-turn decision, that statement is false. Operators cannot use the displayed count to determine how many requests avoided a decision call.
Remove "(no decision call)" from the CLI label. Also update the pinnedRequests contract comment at Line 99, which still says these requests are not decisions. Add a CLI-output assertion for a summary containing per-turn pinned decisions.
