[FEATURE]: Show thinking effort used to come to an answer #47766
Description
Feature hasn't been suggested before.
- I have verified this feature I'm about to request hasn't been suggested before.
Describe the enhancement you want to request
When an answer was produced, the model used is included, but not the thinking effort that was used to get it.
In a normal session, at least for the last message, one can infer it, because the thinking effort is shown in the prompt, but in the task view there is no way to see or infer which thinking effort was used.
It would be useful to have the thinking effort on every answer.

Thanks for the suggestion! You'd like each assistant reply to show the thinking effort (variant) it was generated with, next to the model name. That matters most in subagent/task sessions, where you can't tell it from the prompt footer.
Each message already records which variant it used, so the information is there; the message footer just doesn't show it yet. Maintainers will consider it.
