Description
### Describe the feature or problem you'd like to solve
Currently model's context window size and reasoning effort can only be manually specified through the interactive `/model` flow. There seems to be no way to specify it for subagent and SDK.
### Proposed solution
- Agent markdown file's frontmatter adds some properties to specify the reasoning effort and context window level.
- Copilot SDK exposes a supported way to specify reasoning effort and context window tier when creating a session.
### Example prompts or workflows
- Although some models have larger context window (like 1M), but by default they use a smaller one (like 200K), which limits their performance.
- For automation system, it needs a more powerful model with more reasoning effort and larger context window to do complex tasks for large project.
- Multi-agent workflow requires delegating tasks to subagent, and may need different subagent to have different settings.
