* feat(models): add declarative reasoning capability contract (#5073)
Introduce an optional per-model `reasoning:` block beside the legacy
`supports_thinking` / `supports_reasoning_effort` booleans. It declares
thinking availability (unsupported | optional | required), the accepted
effort values with aliases, default, and serialization path, the payload
dialect, and the reasoning-history requirement. When present the booleans
are derived from it and contradictory profiles fail at config load.
`deerflow.models.reasoning` normalizes legacy and declared profiles into
one immutable contract and resolves every caller's generic request against
it. `create_chat_model` is the single enforcement point: required-thinking
models never receive a synthesized disable payload, unsupported effort
values never reach the provider, and the dialect synthesizes the on/off
payload when no template exists. Legacy profiles keep the historical path
byte-for-byte. The lead agent and subagent descriptor resolve the same
policy first so run metadata reports effective values.
`/api/models` and `DeerFlowClient` project the contract as `reasoning`;
the frontend derives mode clamping and effort choices from it through
`core/models/reasoning.ts`, and user preferences accept provider-specific
effort tokens. The setup wizard's Z.AI GLM-5.3-Flash profile migrates to
the contract, restoring its low/high/max effort control.
* docs(models): move the reasoning contract guidance into models/AGENTS.md
backend/AGENTS.md sits within 46 bytes of the 96 KiB effective-chain hard
limit for the middlewares, runtime, sandbox, and subagents guides, so the
new section pushed scripts/check_agent_guidance.py over it. The models
guide is the nearest file for the factory and the contract module, and
its chain has ample room.
* fix(models): address review on the reasoning contract
- vLLM dialect: the enable path now mirrors whichever chat_template_kwargs
switch the template declares, like the disable path already did, so a
template using the older `thinking` key no longer also grows
`enable_thinking`.
- Validate operator-supplied effort values at `effort.path` inside
`when_thinking_enabled`, `when_thinking_disabled`, and the `thinking`
shortcut against the contract, not only the profile-level value; they are
forwarded when the caller chooses nothing, so the "unknown values never
reach the provider" guarantee now holds for them too.
- Constrain `effort.path` to dotted identifiers and reject single-segment
paths that would replace a whole mapping (`extra_body`, `thinking`,
`model_kwargs`, `default_headers`, `default_query`).
- Z.AI GLM-5.3-Flash profile: `default: high` instead of `max`, because the
default also governs summarization, title generation, and subagent calls
that never choose an effort; `max` stays selectable. Documented in the
config example, the configuration manual, and the design note.
* fix(models): close reasoning contract review gaps
* fix(models): preserve native Ollama reasoning config
* fix(models): keep native reasoning strings and project reasoning into the descriptor
- `ModelConfig.reasoning` also accepts the level string ChatOllama takes
for gpt-oss style models (`low` / `medium` / `high`); the factory forwards
both the boolean and the string on the legacy path, so profiles that
passed `reasoning: high` through before the contract field existed keep
loading and keep sending it.
- The assembly descriptor no longer excludes `reasoning` from
`model_parameters`: the native ChatOllama value and a declared contract's
dialect/history/effort change the request payload, so they now move the
assembly fingerprint.
- e2e: the sidecar spec pinned the pre-contract body where a model without
effort control still received `reasoning_effort: minimal`; the preset is
now dropped for such models (the Gateway discarded it anyway), so the
assertion expects the key to be absent.
