Greptile SummaryThis PR renames the local-agent reasoning control from
Confidence Score: 2/5The PR should not merge until legacy configuration preservation, migration handling, and concurrent daemon replacement are corrected. Existing profiles and CLI scripts can silently lose or misapply their requested reasoning level, certain mixed legacy schemas can discard persisted values, and concurrent upgrade clients can fail startup after a replacement daemon is already running. Files Needing Attention: src/db/migrations.ts, src/local-agent-profiles.ts, src/local-agent-targets.ts, src/local-agent-client.ts
|
| Filename | Overview |
|---|---|
| src/db/migrations.ts | Adds the effort rename migration, but mixed legacy schemas can retain populated thinking alongside an empty effort column that suppresses value migration. |
| src/local-agent-profiles.ts | Renames profile frontmatter to effort without compatibility handling for existing thinking profiles. |
| src/local-agent-targets.ts | Renames CLI flags to --effort, causing old --thinking flags to become prompt text rather than an explicit error or alias. |
| src/local-agent-client.ts | Adds legacy-daemon replacement, but concurrent clients can mistake the replacement daemon's protocol response for a still-running legacy process. |
| src/local-agent-manager.ts | Consistently propagates the renamed effort field through start and continuation flows. |
| src/local-agent-daemon-protocol.ts | Updates daemon payload decoding to protocol version 2's effort field. |
| src/local-agent-claude.ts | Consistently maps effort to Claude's adaptive-thinking and effort options. |
| src/local-agent-codex.ts | Consistently maps the renamed effort input to Codex turn parameters. |
| src/local-agent-opencode.ts | Consistently maps effort to OpenCode model variants for new and resumed sessions. |
| src/local-agent-pi.ts | Consistently maps effort to Pi's existing thinking-level APIs. |

In `@src/db/migrations.ts`:
- Line 189: Update the migration flow around addColumnIfMissing for
local_agent_sessions so existing non-null thinking values are copied into effort
when both columns are present, before any early return. Preserve existing effort
values, and add a regression test covering a schema with thinking and migration
version 3 already applied.
In `@src/local-agent-client.ts`:
- Around line 269-280: The startup probe in the readiness flow should not return
success merely when the daemon endpoint becomes unavailable; wait until the
legacy daemon has completed shutdown and released its lock before returning
Result.ok. Update the logic around ensureReadyInternal and the hello probe to
verify the complete shutdown condition, preserving retry behavior and ensuring
replacement spawning cannot race with lock release.
In `@src/local-agent-profiles.ts`:
- Line 161: Update profileFromFrontmatter and loadLocalAgentProfiles so legacy
devspace-agent/v1 profiles with thinking are not silently downgraded: migrate
thinking to effort with explicit precedence and a deprecation path, or reject it
with an actionable schema migration error. Add a regression test covering an
existing legacy profile loaded from the configured profile directory or
.devspace/agents.
In `@src/server.ts`:
- Line 270: Preserve the open_workspace output contract by retaining
agents[].thinking alongside the new agents[].effort, or explicitly version the
contract so existing hosts continue to receive thinking. Update the SQLite
migration and related serialization around open_workspace, then add an
end-to-end assertion covering the agents[] fields.

DevSpace currently carries both thinking and effort through the subagent domain. This layer standardizes the public and persisted contract on effort, removes the unused --thinking CLI option, and leaves provider-native thinking terminology inside adapters where translation belongs.
The change includes a SQLite migration for existing agent rows and a daemon protocol bump. An older idle daemon is replaced automatically; an older daemon with active turns is preserved and returns a clear retry message instead of being killed.
This is layer 1 of 4 and targets main. The next layer is #213. Verified with the full test suite, TypeScript typecheck, and packaged build.
