Move the pre-set effort handling BEFORE the message.variant !== "max" early-return so that output.options.effort="max" set via session params or model-requirements fallback chains is always clamped to "high" on constrained providers (github-copilot, Anthropic OAuth), even when message.variant is not "max". This addresses the cubic violation from PR #3608 where the clamp block was gated behind the variant-based return.
