enable_thinking=False was a no-op for minimax and openai sources: both
profiles had empty dicts on each side, so the payload update injected
nothing while the caller believed reasoning had been turned off. A
downstream project was blocked on exactly this.
The root cause is that an empty dict meant two different things -- "no
injection needed" and "we do not know how this provider spells it" --
and that a provider-level table cannot express what turned out to be a
per-model property. Live testing showed MiniMax-M3 can disable
reasoning via reasoning_effort while M2.7 and M2.5 cannot be disabled
at all, which two external registries independently confirm.
So the shape stays at provider level and a capability table joins it at
model level. Unknown, unsupported and no-opinion are now three distinct
values, and resolve_thinking is the single place they meet: it raises at
assembly time when a model cannot honour the request, warns and injects
for unregistered models, and injects silently otherwise. Every registered
capability carries the evidence it was derived from.
enable_thinking also joins the cache fingerprint, since it now really
does change the request body.
Reasoning tokens are already counted inside completion_tokens, so the
cost total was never wrong -- what was missing is the attribution: how
much of a call was spent thinking rather than answering.
LLMResponse and TransportResult each gain a trailing reasoning_tokens
field, and the telemetry port grows from 21 to 22 columns with the new
column appended in both backends so fresh and migrated schemas keep the
same physical order.
None means this particular call did not report the field, not that the
source never reports it: a relay that falls back to a local tokenizer
replaces the whole usage object and drops completion_tokens_details.
Downstream checks must therefore read "in (None, 0)"; no provider was
observed reporting a literal zero.
Classify empty completions as transient per human ruling (fixes flaky
real-gateway smoke and prevents caching empty responses), rename the
factory injection parameter gate to breaker per the frozen design,
rewrite the probe-entry cleanup without except BaseException, declare
python-dotenv explicitly, add a mid-backoff cancellation test, and
record all implementation errata in the design and architecture docs.
Includes config aggregation for multi-source env keys, from_env and
from_settings factories with explicit shared-backend injection,
gather_bounded, top-level exports, tightened import-linter layers with
the gate removed from the Makefile, and the finalized .env.example.
