fix: reasoning opt-in for OpenAI-format gateways + learn-once observability

 - **DeepSeek** — reasoning streams as `DeltaReasoning` fragments and lands in `ReasoningContent`. Assistant-turn replay echoes it as `reasoning_content`, which DeepSeek requires for tool loops. On a chat-completions request that carries tools, the key is echoed for **every** assistant turn, even where the provider returned no reasoning for that turn (empty value instead of a dropped key) — including turns that made no tool call themselves: DeepSeek documents that a tool-bearing request whose assistant turns omit `reasoning_content` returns 400 for *every* later request in the loop, so one elided turn would otherwise poison the rest of the session. Whether DeepSeek accepts a present-but-empty value is measured against the live API by `TestE2EDeepSeekEmptyReasoningEcho` (tag-gated), not assumed by the suite.
 - **zai / GLM** — same reasoning field shape and `DeltaReasoning` streaming; GLM maps thinking `medium` → `reasoning_effort` `high` (no medium level) and `max` → `max`. GLM does **not** get the empty echo: no z.ai documentation confirms the same replay requirement, so `Quirks.EchoReasoningWithTools` is off and `zai` bodies are byte-identical to the pre-fix shape. A custom provider registered under its own id inherits **no** quirks — set `WithQuirks` explicitly if it needs the echo.
 - **Gemini** — `thought: true` parts map to reasoning deltas; `thinkingConfig` is derived from `Thinking` / `ThinkingBudget`.
+- **OpenAI-format gateways (OpenRouter, LiteLLM, vLLM)** — responses are accepted in every documented reasoning shape: `reasoning_content` (LiteLLM standardized), the `reasoning` string alias (OpenRouter), and the typed `reasoning_details` array (OpenRouter; `reasoning.text`/`reasoning.summary` fold in order, `reasoning.encrypted` entries are skipped). Precedence: `reasoning_content`, then `reasoning`, then the `reasoning_details` fold. Gateways that require an explicit opt-in get it via `Quirks.IncludeReasoning`, which sends the OpenRouter-documented legacy `include_reasoning: true` (equivalent to the canonical `reasoning: {}`) next to `reasoning_effort`. The flag is off by default — strict OpenAI-format endpoints reject unknown parameters.
 
 `ThinkingBudget`, when positive, overrides the selected non-disabled thinking preset (Anthropic enforces its 1024-token minimum). Canonical `max` selects the highest portable preset: OpenAI `high`, Gemini 24576, Anthropic 16384; GLM retains its native `max`.

+Every engagement is observable: `SetLearnObserver(func(LearnEvent))` registers a process-wide callback fired once per engaged fallback, with the kind (`buffered`, `responses`, `none_effort`, `drop_stream_options`), provider id, triggering HTTP status, and the provider's error message. Nil (default) disables observation. The callback runs on the request goroutine — keep it fast and never call back into the SDK from it.

 ## Retry policy
 
 8 attempts, exponential backoff capped at 30s with ±20% jitter, `Retry-After` (seconds or HTTP-date) honored and capped at 120s, context cancellation honored between and during attempts. Retryable statuses include 408/429/5xx plus Cloudflare 520–524 and Anthropic 529. Persistent 429s surface as `*llm.RateLimitError{Attempts, RetryAfter}` — including when the retry sleep is cut short by a deadline, so the caller never loses the retry signal. A 429 whose body is billing exhaustion (`insufficient_quota`, `exceeded your current quota`, `insufficient balance`, `no resource package`) is not retryable and fails on the first attempt. `RateLimitError` unwraps to `*APIError` for `errors.As` access to `Status`/`Retryable`.
