hermes-agent/web/src/components/ReasoningPicker.tsx

/**
 * ReasoningPicker — sets the main model's reasoning effort from the dashboard
 * Chat sidebar, mirroring the desktop app's composer effort radio.
 *
 * The dashboard previously only showed a read-only "Reasoning" capability
 * badge (see ModelInfoCard) with no way to actually choose the effort level —
 * unlike the desktop app, which exposes a radio in its model menu. This closes
 * that parity gap.
 *
 * Storage: the effort persists to config.yaml at `agent.reasoning_effort`
 * (the same key the TUI's `/reasoning <level>` command and the desktop radio
 * write). We read the whole config and write it back — the established
 * single-key pattern on the dashboard (see ConfigPage) — so the value lands in
 * the config the agent boots a fresh chat from. As with the model picker, the
 * running chat session adopts the change on the next `/new` or page reload;
 * we surface that hint rather than forcing a reload here.
 *
 * Profile scoping: the sidebar passes the chat profile explicitly, so this
 * reads/writes the same config the chat PTY was launched from.
