Follow-up to #2336 (umbrella) / PR #2463 (partial sweep). Covers Area 7 deferred from that PR.

Context

Native apps and the web UI still reference thinkingLevel in chat views. Per-file classification required: pass-through display (rendering what the CLI reports — KEEP) or state driver (mutating/sending a value the fork no longer controls — REMOVE).

⚠️ Do NOT touch native apps without confirming. Android / iOS / macOS binaries have separate release pipelines; any state-driver removal must be coordinated with a native release and migrated in the RemoteClawKit layer.

AC

• Every reference classified (display vs state-driver).
• State-driver references removed (with native-app release coordination).
• Display-only references annotated or left (KEEP rationale).
• Web UI (ui/src/ui/) — thinkingLevel references either removed (if state-driver) or preserved as pass-through display with clear origin.
