perf(agents): change the effort pins the replay sweep recommends

Parent: #5682 (slice 3 of 3). Blocked by #10253 (slice 2).
Runs in: lane. Edits pins from data already posted; no model run.

Problem

#5682's second done-when: "Each agent's effort pin matches the sweep, or a PR that changes it is linked here." The triage brief keeps pin changes out of the sweep itself, as their own change once the data is in.

Fix

For each pin slice 2 recommends changing, change the agent definition's effort (and model, for the implementer arm, only if the data shows it) and cite the slice 2 comment per change. Pins slice 2 recommends keeping are left as they are; if it recommends keeping every pin, close this as completed citing that comment and open no PR. Add a changelog fragment per touched plugin.

Done when

Every pin slice 2 recommends changing is changed in this PR, each citing the slice 2 comment; no other pin changes
The PR is linked on review: effort eval sweep for pinned agents, including Haiku 5.5 when it ships #5682
ci-status is green on the PR head

Split by the backlog HITL session (2026-10-25, owner rule Q93: split large work before a run picks it up). This was generated by AI.

Proposed work class: work-class: scoped
Basis: automated intake triage; the lanes App applied this class.

Size: Small
Complexity: Low
Uncertainty: Known
Flags: none
Blocked by: #10253

Understood: once the slice 2 sweep (#10253) has posted its recommendations, change each agent's effort pin (and the implementer's model only if the data shows it) as that comment recommends, citing it per change. Add a changelog fragment per touched plugin and link the PR on #5682. If the sweep recommends keeping every pin, close this with no PR. Nothing is missing, but the work cannot start until #10253 is done. No duplicates found.

Not admitted to the issue lane yet: blocker #10253 is not closed by a listed human or a merge.

No description provided.

The work-resolve-issue lane stopped on this issue (already-done): the run found the issue's work already on the default branch at a commit it cites, so the issue closes.
Its reason cites no pull request merged into the default branch, or commit on it, made after the issue opened whose commit message closes this issue, so it retries instead of closing.
It keeps agent-ready, and work-unblock starts it again (retry 1 of 2).

In the run's words:

already-done: slice 2 (＃10253, closed as completed) recommends keeping every effort pin and changing none (https: //github.com/melodic-software/claude-code-plugins/issues /10253＃issuecomment-6559292956: "Closing as complete. No pin changes."; sweep data in https: //github.com/melodic-software/claude-code-plugins/issues /10253＃issuecomment-6556129448). The default branch at 39a1f14 already carries every recommended value (implementation:implementer effort: medium, implementation:phase-verifier effort: high, the other 18 pins as pinned). This issue's Fix says that when slice 2 keeps every pin, close it as completed citing that comment and open no PR.

What the run says it did not do:

No PR opened and no pin changed: slice 2 recommends keeping every pin, so the issue's Fix says to close it as completed with no PR. Its done-when items 'The PR is linked on ＃5682' and 'ci-status is green on the PR head' do not apply.
tidy, review, verify and checks pipeline steps skipped: the working tree has no change to tidy, review or build

No description provided.

The work-resolve-issue lane stopped partway through this issue and needs a person.

Reason: intent

Why, in the run's own words:

intent-change: slice 2 (＃10253) recommends keeping every effort pin, so this issue has no pin to change. The sweep results comment (＃10253 comment 6556129448, also posted on ＃5682) found no pin change warranted, and the owner-decision comment (＃10253 comment 6559292956) keeps implementation:implementer at medium and implementation:phase-verifier at high on the data, and the other 18 pins as they are (option (a): keep, no data). The issue's own Fix says that in this case it should be closed as completed citing that comment, with no PR. The lane has no code for closing without a commit, so a person needs to close ＃10303 as completed citing ＃10253 comment 6559292956, and to tick ＃5682's second done-when (every pin matches the sweep).

What the run says it did not do:

Closing ＃10303 as completed and linking it on ＃5682 needs a person or a tracker action this lane does not take. No PR exists to link, and none should exist per the issue's Fix.
Tidy, review, build and test skipped: there is no diff.

Run: https://github.com/melodic-software/claude-code-plugins/actions/runs/41318231829

To retry, remove needs-human and add agent-ready again.

Delivered: closing as completed.

Issue Triage session. This issue changes only the pins slice 2 recommends changing, and its Fix says: "if it recommends keeping every pin, close this as completed citing that comment and open no PR." Slice 2 recommends changing none, so there is nothing for a PR to do.

Slice 2's sweep (#10253 comment 6556129448), under "Recommendation for keep or change": "This sweep supports no pin change".
The per-pin table on review: effort eval sweep for pinned agents, including Haiku 5.5 when it ships #5682 (#5682 comment 6556136118) gives implementation:implementer medium "keep", implementation:phase-verifier high "keep, with a note", and the other 18 pins "as pinned", with "no data". No row recommends a change.
#10253 is closed as completed. Its closing comment (#10253 comment 6559292956) ends "Closing as complete. No pin changes." That comment was written in a session ("in the lane 4 session"), and no owner-decisions row or interview checklist backs it, so this closure does not rely on it as the owner's word. The sweep's own recommendation is enough under this issue's Fix.
The default branch already carries the kept values: effort: medium in plugins/implementation/agents/implementer.md:9 and effort: high in plugins/implementation/agents/phase-verifier.md:9 (at 4eac1bcc3d). The other 18 agents' effort: lines on 4eac1bcc3d match the high and medium lists in the review: effort eval sweep for pinned agents, including Haiku 5.5 when it ships #5682 table.

Done-when: the first item is met, with zero pins to change. The PR-link and ci-status items do not apply because the Fix calls for no PR here. For #5682's second done-when ("Each agent's effort pin matches the sweep, or a PR that changes it is linked here"), every pin matches the sweep's recommendation as of this closure.

The lane stopped on this (run 41318231829, comment 6559655494) only because it cannot close an issue that has no commit. The intent of this issue is unchanged.

Closed as completed per the delivery record above: slice 2 recommends keeping every pin, so this issue's Fix closes it with no PR.
