The thinking matrix had been running inside make ci all along, which is
not what the design claimed. It takes seven minutes, spends 137 real
calls, and its criteria are statistical, so a network hiccup fails the
build for reasons unrelated to the change under test -- one run died on
three consecutive network errors exhausting the source.
The project already has the mechanism for this: the slow marker, which
addopts excludes by default and the config comments describe as "CI runs
it on demand". Marking the matrix slow brings make ci back down from
seven minutes to ninety seconds while the matrix stays a merge
requirement via -m slow.
The design also claimed e2e does not run in CI. It does: make test runs
pytest over tests/, e2e included, and the existing smoke tests really
call the gateway whenever .env has credentials. Only slow-marked tests
are excluded. Both documents now say so.
Version sources are pyproject and __init__; a test enforces they agree,
and it caught the second one being missed.
The verifier caught that the disable-direction evidence only proved "no
regression", not "actually took effect": on M3 the disabled runs and the
no-opinion baseline are identically distributed, because that model does
not reason by default anyway. So the disable runs alone cannot rule out
the very failure mode issue #5 is about -- the parameter being silently
dropped upstream. The bogus-value experiment that does rule it out was
sitting in the findings document instead of the test suite; it is now
case L3b, and the L3 assertion that could never fail is gone.
Also from the review: the e2e helper caught bare Exception, which would
have disguised a library bug as an unavailable source, exactly the
silence the reporting discipline exists to prevent; the unregistered
model warning fired on every request instead of once per source; and the
transport caught ValueError broadly enough to mislabel unrelated errors,
now narrowed to a dedicated ThinkingUnsupportedError.
The design and plan still described the original judgement criteria,
which the measurements had already overturned. Both now match what the
tests actually do, and the design no longer claims the only new failure
surface is the openai one -- dissect configures MiniMax-M2.7 with
ENABLE_THINKING=false and will fail at assembly, which has to be
coordinated before this merges.
Ten tasks in a fixed order: land reasoning_tokens first so it can serve
as the acceptance instrument for the thinking-switch fix, then reshape
the provider profile, add the model-level capability table, wire the
assembly guard, fold enable_thinking into the cache fingerprint, and
verify the whole thing against the live API.
Incorporates a read-only Codex review: resolve_thinking now takes the
model name so its errors can name it, and the warning assertion uses a
loguru sink because caplog cannot see loguru output.
