Method getMaxTokensForCurrentLLM

cli/cli_llm.go:613–619

getMaxTokensForCurrentLLM picks the per-turn `max_tokens` for the active LLM by walking the precedence chain: 1. session override set by `/switch --max-tokens` (cli.UserMaxTokens), 2. provider-specific env var (see providerMaxTokensEnv) — operational escape hatch when an operator needs to force a v

// Returns the catalog default whenever none of the override sources resolve
// to a positive integer.
func (cli *ChatCLI) getMaxTokensForCurrentLLM() int {
	if cli.UserMaxTokens > 0 {
		return cli.UserMaxTokens

	override := providerMaxTokensOverride(cli.Provider)
	return catalog.GetMaxTokens(cli.Provider, cli.Model, override)
}

// providerMaxTokensOverride reads the configured env var for the provider
// and returns its positive-integer value, or 0 when the env is unset,
