Guide: Running local Qwen3.8-27B in DeepSeek Harness with reasoning effort config

The author documents wiring a locally hosted Qwen3.8-27B into DeepSeek Harness:
- Set up vLLM via Docker+WSL2 using Codex with club-3090; too many MTP draft tokens causes crashes, set SPECN=3;
- Start with npx @deepseek-ai/dsh web, add an OpenAI-compatible provider in Settings → Models (fake API key, Base URL http://localhost:8095/v1);
- Get model IDs from the backend /v1/models; Qwen27b thinks a lot, so raise max output tokens to 64k;
- The UI can't adjust thinking effort by default — edit settings.yaml via "Open Configuration File", adding a reasoningEfforts mapping (off/low/medium/xhigh) and defaults.
