`Config::default_effort` is what a session starts at when nothing chose one,
applied in `spawn_session` rather than filled in by the spawn screen so it
holds for an import and a bare API call too. It is set by the spawn screen's
own picker, whose label says so: one control, where new sessions are made,
rather than a settings page for a single value. Not on a provider, because
providers are discovered and the next rediscovery would erase it; not on the
phone, because a second device would then spawn at a level nobody there
chose. `GET`/`POST /defaults` carry it as a struct, so the permission mode --
still hardcoded to `auto` on the spawn screen -- can move there later without
a second route.
Only drivers that read a level are given one: an echo session was storing a
`--effort` it never passes to anything, which is a config file answering a
question about itself wrongly.
Separately, `AGENTS.md` is 35 KB sent with every request in this repo, and 12
KB of it was rigs and reference measurements that only matter once you are
running one. Those are the `ai-app-rigs` skill now -- the same text, still the
only copy, read when the work touches it. 35,198 -> 20,813 chars.
Verified on the emulator against the sandbox: the spawn screen pre-fills from
the server, picking `low` spawned a session at `low` and left `/defaults` set
to it, and an echo session spawned afterwards took no level at all.

A Rust backend that owns the sessions and an Android app that reads them.
The server spawns and adopts CLI processes, normalises everything they emit
into one event model, keeps the transcript, and serves it over pinned TLS on
a WireGuard interface; the phone streams that, replies, sends images, and
imports conversations the machine already has.
`AGENTS.md` is the working guide -- what runs where, what has been measured,
and the faults that were expensive to find. `PLAN.md` is the design record.
History before this point was squashed away. It was a personal project's
running commentary and carried a name and a couple of machine paths that
have no business in a public repository; the tree is what mattered and the
tree is here.
