Configuration

Two surfaces share one schema:

• Assembly — the plugin row's config: in the profile composition (e.g. cordis.yml):

  config:
    level: auto            # off | on | minimal | low | medium | high | xhigh | max | auto — the default level when the session picks nothing
    allowDowngrade: true   # let the scheduler drop below `high`
    allowUpgrade: false    # forbid the scheduler lifting to `max`
  

• Runtime — the plugin's .volatile() config fields (enabled, level, allowDowngrade, allowUpgrade): DSH 0.1.7 renders the Plugins settings form from the declared schema, and committed changes reach the plugin as live config references (loader/volatile-update) — they apply to the next model request, no restart needed. (models stays a configurer-level field: edit it in the profile composition.)

Per-model capability overrides (models, keyed provider/model) confirm what auto-detection finds; the configurer has the final word:

config:
  level: auto
  models:
    llm-pi-ai/Qwen3.6-35B-A3B:   # non-reasoning thinking model (thinking toggle + budget)
      vision: false
      thinking: true
      efforts: false             # never send reasoning_effort (stripped at request time)
    llm-pi-ai/Qwen3.8-27B:       # effort-capable model (rc.6-era adapter without low)
      efforts: [low, high]       # confirm low → advertised in the selector + passed through

For Qwen thinking on/off + budget, configure the llm-pi-ai route instead: compat.thinkingFormat: qwen (→ wire enable_thinking + thinking_budget via thinkingBudgets), or qwen-chat-template (→ chat_template_kwargs.enable_thinking) for effort models like Qwen3.8-27B.

Defaults: { enabled: true, level: 'auto', allowDowngrade: true, allowUpgrade: false, models: {} }.

Semantics: the model-selector pick outranks the plugin's default level. Pick auto (mask) → plugin schedules; pick a wire level → applied directly; pick nothing → the plugin's level default is used. allowDowngrade / allowUpgrade constrain auto scheduling only.
