- Introduced `Max` as a first-class reasoning effort tier across all packages, including AI providers, coding agent configurations, and RPC protocols.
- Refactored model effort ladders to use wire-exact mappings and removed legacy effort aliasing (e.g., `max-to-xhigh` mapping).
- Updated model registry and provider configurations to support `Max` tier routing, color themes, and UI icon associations.
- Expanded test suites to provide end-to-end coverage for the new reasoning tier, including updated compatibility and fallback scenarios.
