Findings: live-API measurements across MiniMax M3/M2.7/M2.5, qwen and
deepseek, plus a survey of how nine unified gateways model per-model
parameter divergence. Key facts: reasoning_effort is MiniMax's real
switch, M2.x reasoning is mandatory and cannot be disabled, and the
relay's local token-count fallback silently drops reasoning_tokens.
Design: keep the parameter shape at provider level, push capability
down to model level, split "unknown" / "unsupported" / "no opinion"
into three distinct values, and fail at assembly time when a model
cannot honour enable_thinking=False.
