Summary

First PR of the Dynamic Thinking Effort (DTE) series. Adds a new experimental setting, dynamicThinkingEffort, that will be consumed by later PRs in the series (model-decided per-step thinking effort + in-chat adjustment).

Fixes: #1328

Changes

  • packages/types/src/experiment.ts — added "dynamicThinkingEffort" to the experimentIds const list and to experimentsSchema (optional boolean, following existing entries).
  • src/shared/experiments.ts — added EXPERIMENT_IDS.DYNAMIC_THINKING_EFFORT and the config-map entry { enabled: false } (default off, visible in Settings — no showInSettings opt-out).
  • Webview — the toggle renders automatically through the generic list in ExperimentalSettings.tsx (no component change needed); added i18n keys settings:experimental.DYNAMIC_THINKING_EFFORT.name / .description to all 18 enforced locales (real translations for en and zh-TW; other locales follow the existing convention of reusing the English text).
  • Tests
    • packages/types/src/__tests__/experiment.test.ts (new): enum membership, parse of enabled/disabled states, rejection of non-boolean values.
    • src/shared/__tests__/experiments.spec.ts: new DYNAMIC_THINKING_EFFORT block — configured correctly, default-off via experimentDefault, enabled case; existing Record<ExperimentId, boolean> literals extended for the new id.
    • webview-ui/.../ExperimentalSettings.spec.tsx: toggle renders and is bound to setExperimentEnabled("dynamicThinkingEffort", ...) (checkbox checked-state + click).

Verification

  • pnpm exec vitest run (narrowest suites): types 3/3, src shared experiments 14/14, webview ExperimentalSettings 3/3 — all green.
  • pnpm exec tsc --noEmit clean in both src and packages/types.
  • ESLint --prune-suppressions --max-warnings=0 on touched src files: no suppression count increase.
  • node scripts/find-missing-translations.js (the CI check-translations job): all locales complete, exit 0.
  • Patch coverage 100% (v8 lcov): every added line in experiment.ts and experiments.ts covered; the only uncovered line in experiments.ts (the pre-existing experiments.get accessor) is outside this diff and was already uncovered before.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added an experimental Dynamic Thinking Effort setting, disabled by default.
    • Users can enable or disable it from Experimental Settings and adjust thinking effort during chat.
    • Added localized setting names and descriptions across supported languages.
  • Documentation

    • Clarified telemetry messaging in several languages, including installation-linked reporting and that code and prompts are not collected.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for configuration parsing, default behavior, settings visibility, and toggle interactions.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR adds the dynamicThinkingEffort experiment to type definitions and shared configuration. It adds an off-by-default settings toggle, tests for its state handling, and localization entries for all supported locales.

Changes

Dynamic thinking effort setting

Layer / File(s) Summary
Experiment type contract
packages/types/src/experiment.ts, packages/types/src/__tests__/experiment.test.ts
The experiment identifier and optional boolean schema property are added. Tests cover valid, omitted, and invalid values.
Experiment registration and state tests
src/shared/experiments.ts, src/shared/__tests__/experiments.spec.ts
The experiment is registered with enabled: false. Tests cover default, absent, disabled, and enabled states.
Settings toggle and localization
webview-ui/src/components/settings/..., webview-ui/src/i18n/locales/*/settings.json
Settings tests cover rendering, checked-state binding, and state-change callbacks. All listed locales add the setting name and description. Selected locales update telemetry text.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 5db5c

The PR adds a default-disabled experimental setting with focused parsing, settings, translation, and type checks. It is mergeable with owner awareness that explicit false behavior should be confirmed independently and Docker-rendered visual baselines should be verified for the changed locale files.

72-91: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Cover explicit false and unset states at both layers.

The tests exercise the enabled state and the default fallback, but they do not prove that an explicit false remains disabled.

  • src/shared/__tests__/experiments.spec.ts#L72-L91: add an explicit Experiments.isEnabled({ dynamicThinkingEffort: false }, "dynamicThinkingEffort") assertion.
  • webview-ui/src/components/settings/__tests__/ExperimentalSettings.spec.tsx#L35-L61: add false, omitted-value, and click-to-enable cases.

As per coding guidelines, add focused tests for true and false/unset cases when defaults could hide omissions.

Commits

  • a05830c7a — feat(experiments): add dynamic thinking effort experimental setting: registers the dynamicThinkingEffort id in packages/types (ids list + schema) and the default-off shared config in src/shared (visible in Settings via the existing generic list — no component change); adds the settings:experimental.DYNAMIC_THINKING_EFFORT name/description i18n keys to all 18 enforced locales (real translations for en + zh-TW, English text reused for the other 16 per repo convention); adds tests at the types, src, and webview layers. 23 files, +147/−2.
  • 1cf4f0d4a — test(experiments): cover explicit false and omitted dynamic thinking effort states: addresses the single CodeRabbit round-1 nitpick (explicit-false and omitted-state assertions at both layers, plus click-to-enable binding cases).

CodeRabbit

  • Review clean on the final commit: 0 inline review comments; pre-merge checks 5/5 passed (title, description, linked issue feat(experiments): add dynamic thinking effort experimental setting (DTE series 1/5) #1328, out-of-scope changes, docstring coverage); merge risk: minimal.
  • Note: the only WARNING in CodeRabbit's summary is its own sandbox ESLint failing on missing dependencies — a bot-environment tooling issue, not a code issue. Repo lint is already covered by CI (compile, knip, and Analyze all pass) and local eslint --prune-suppressions --max-warnings=0 passes with no suppression-count changes.

Coverage — 100% patch coverage

  • Codecov (authoritative bot): "All modified and coverable lines are covered by tests" — https://app.codecov.io/gh/Zoo-Code-Org/Zoo-Code/pull/1336. codecov/patch and codecov/patch/webview-patch both pass.
  • Local corroboration (v8 + lcov, re-run on the final commit against the 3 test-bearing areas):
    • packages/types/src/experiment.ts: 100% statements / 100% branches / 100% functions / 100% lines (both added lines covered by the schema parse tests).
    • src/shared/experiments.ts: both added lines (EXPERIMENT_IDS entry, config-map entry) covered at module load per lcov line records (DA 3/22/32/33/39 all hit; branch coverage 100%); the only uncovered line in the file is the pre-existing experiments.get accessor (line 40) — outside this diff and already uncovered before it.
    • Webview diff = one test spec + 18 JSON locale files (not coverage-targeted); the ExperimentalSettings component is unchanged and renders the new toggle through its existing generic list (verified by the new rendering/binding tests).

Local verification (fresh runs on the final commit)

  • vitest packages/typessrc/__tests__/experiment.test.ts: 3/3 passed
  • vitest srcshared/__tests__/experiments.spec.ts: 11/11 passed
  • vitest webview-uisettings/__tests__/ExperimentalSettings.spec.tsx: 5/5 passed
  • node scripts/find-missing-translations.js: all translations complete, exit 0 (the check-translations CI gate also passes)
  • tsc --noEmit clean in packages/types and src

Protocol note

The PR reached ready-for-review with CI already green at open time: all 15 checks passed on the first pass, so the usual draft → fix → re-monitor iterations were never needed.

Follow-ups for reviewers

  • This is PR 1/5 of the DTE series (issue feat(experiments): add dynamic thinking effort experimental setting (DTE series 1/5) #1328): it registers the experiment and the settings surface only. Runtime behavior (model-decided per-step effort, in-chat adjustment UI, request plumbing) lands in follow-up PRs 2–5, gated on experiments.isEnabled(..., "dynamicThinkingEffort").
  • Non-en/zh-TW locales reuse the English strings per repo convention for newly added keys; native translations can be a separate pass.

Base update

Merged upstream/main (1ad8f52, fix(telemetry) opt-out #1069, by edelauna) as additive merge commit 5db5cf4 to keep the base current — clean merge, no conflicts. The telemetry commit only reworded the footer.telemetry label/description in the locale files; both key-sets coexist in all 18 locales (verified: every merged settings.json parses and still carries DYNAMIC_THINKING_EFFORT). Fresh CI on 5db5cf4: all 15 checks green (check-translations re-verified). CodeRabbit re-review on the new range (1cf4f0d5db5cf4, run 10f48634-9b34-4af0-831e-b1c594b13950) is a completed real review (check detail: Review completed — not Review skipped) with no actionable comments.
