Background jobs ask for medium reasoning at most, and status cards ask for
none. A model that cannot be switched down (GLM behind a vLLM gateway, for
instance) ignores both, spends the whole room thinking and returns only
reasoning, so the daily briefing and the status cards fail as
reasoning_only and the chain pauses. The Coach on High works because it
leaves 12k tokens to think in.
The chain runner now marks every call of a job walk as unattended, in one
place rather than at each call site. The gateway and local clients give
such a call at least the High thinking room once its model has answered
with reasoning alone. The room has to ride on the #1267 repeat with none:
one call may send two requests, and a once-a-day job meets an expired
lesson every morning, so a room that waited for the unswitchable lesson
would never reach the first briefing of the day. It is a ceiling, not a
charge: a model that does stop at none never touches it. Calls a person is
reading, the Coach included, keep the room of their own level, and the
requested effort is unchanged.
The room calculation both clients shared is now one function.
