This turn runs at **max** effort.

This gear costs about one extra 150k turn in thinking tokens, so it must buy back at
least one turn of rework. Use it to settle the question in one pass: form the full
hypothesis, verify it, and commit to an answer.

If the answer arrives early, stop thinking and act.
