feat: let one call ask for a different tier than its source defaults to

The three-layer priority (call > source > enable_thinking sugar > silence)
now lives in one pure function, thinking.effective_effort(). The assembly
guard and the request hot path used to each carry their own inline copy of
the sugar conversion; two copies of the same judgement drift into the worst
shape there is - passes at assembly, raises at runtime.

The guard now also honours effort_fallback, so a source that opted into
nearest is no longer sentenced at assembly for a tier it could have mapped.
