xhigh is the quality sweet-spot for a single precedent but very slow at scale (64-chunk case ≈ 20 min). Bulk queue-drains (process_pending over many precedents) now use a lighter effort to cut wall-clock; interactive single re-extraction keeps xhigh quality. - config.HALACHA_BULK_EXTRACT_EFFORT (env, default 'high'; set 'medium' for max speed, 'xhigh' to match single). - extract()/_extract_impl()/_extract_chunk() take an `effort` override threaded to claude_session.query_json; None falls back to HALACHA_EXTRACT_EFFORT (xhigh). - process_pending_extractions(kind='halacha') passes the bulk effort; single reextract_halachot keeps xhigh. Verified end-to-end (mocked LLM): _extract_chunk(effort='medium') → query_json effort='medium'; effort=None → 'xhigh' fallback. Closes the open item in #72.
