forge: prose audit runs at high effort, not max

Browse source 
A max-effort pass over a whole-book input (quarter-million chars)
runs an impractical hour-plus and was timing out. Finding repeated
passages is comparison work, not deep reasoning — high effort does
it well in minutes at a fraction of the cost.
