 **Why the model catalog differs**: Google's CLI is "optimized for speed and low overhead" and "co-optimized with Gemini models" (per Google's official blog). The Web/IDE product is "optimized for comprehensiveness." The CLI uses `:fetchAvailableModels` to dynamically discover models, while the IDE uses a static curated list.

+ * Hermes sends reasoning_effort:"medium" with 24 tools and died on every turn.
+ * Two gaps let the bad value reach the upstream verbatim:
+ *   1. `ox-alpha-free` is a discovery-synced model with no static registry
+ *      entry declaring its effort vocabulary.
+ *   2. sanitizeReasoningEffortForProvider only consults declared
+ *      supportedThinkingEfforts in the `max` branch (max fallback); other
+ *      out-of-vocabulary values pass through untouched.
+ *
+ * Fix under test: declare ["low","high","max"] on the registry entry and add a
+ * generic explicit-capability clamp that remaps any out-of-vocabulary effort to
+ * the nearest declared tier (smallest ranked ≥ requested, else the highest).
+ * Models without a declaration keep today's pass-through behavior (#8057).
