The minimax wire lost its tier value on the assumption that these models
reason by default, so injecting nothing still reads as "on". T10 measured
the real gateway and the assumption does not hold: MiniMax-M3 with no
reasoning parameter did not reason in 5 of 5 rounds, while all six
strength values worked. Existing downstreams on ENABLE_THINKING=true
went from reasoning to silently not reasoning, and the capability table
cannot catch it because phase 5 lets auto through unconditionally.
Restore on_base to the old {"reasoning_effort": "medium"} verbatim. This
is a stopgap - it hands the tier choice back to the library, which this
work set out to remove. The real fix is to constrain auto by the
capability table, a public behaviour change tracked as issue #21.
The assertions that said "minimax injects no tier on the on-tier" go
back with it; each carries a note on why it moved twice.
