Add portable reasoning switch to CompletionParams

[cirsteve]

What

CompletionParams.reasoning: bool | None — a portable on/off switch for a model's reasoning ("thinking") mode.

Adapter	Behaviour
Ollama	top-level think field (complete and stream)
OpenRouter	extra_body.reasoning.enabled, caller provider_params still win
OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Dispatch	non-None raises UnsupportedReasoningError (ValueError subclass, exported) before any request

None (default) leaves every request byte-identical to today. The ollama extra moves to ollama>=0.5, where the think kwarg appeared.

Why

Ollama builds that advertise the thinking capability (gemma4) reason by default. In the scout relevance sweeps, gemma-4-26b-a4b on frink emitted ~1,000 output tokens per call against 78 for the same model through OpenRouter, so the local and hosted cells were different experiments and there was no way to make them equal from jig.

Tests

tests/test_reasoning_control.py (12): default None, export, Ollama forwards True/False and omits on None and never puts it in options, OpenRouter deep-merge and caller override, rejection before request on OpenAI/Gemini/Anthropic. Full suite: 1156 passed.

OpenAIClient._apply_extra_kwargs gains an optional params argument; the old one-argument call shape still works.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features

  • Added portable reasoning controls for completion requests, enabling or disabling reasoning where supported.
  • Ollama and OpenRouter honor reasoning preferences for completion and streaming requests.
  • Unspecified reasoning settings preserve provider defaults.
  • Added a public error for unsupported reasoning configurations.

• Bug Fixes

  • Unsupported reasoning requests now fail clearly before requests are sent for OpenAI, Anthropic, and Gemini.
  • Anthropic now exposes response-format errors directly instead of wrapping them in a generic error.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR adds an optional CompletionParams.reasoning flag. Ollama and OpenRouter translate the flag for provider requests. OpenAI, Gemini, and Anthropic reject unsupported values before requests. Typed reasoning and response-format errors remain unwrapped.

Changes

Reasoning control

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Reasoning contract and shared validation src/jig/core/..., src/jig/llm/_common.py	CompletionParams now defines reasoning: bool | None. Shared request preparation raises UnsupportedReasoningError for unsupported non-None values. The exception is exported from package and core modules.
Provider mappings and compatibility hooks src/jig/llm/ollama.py, src/jig/llm/openrouter.py, src/jig/llm/openai.py, pyproject.toml	Ollama maps reasoning to think, including streaming. OpenRouter maps it to extra_body["reasoning"]["enabled"] and preserves caller values. OpenAI keeps the existing extra-kwargs hook and adds a separate reasoning hook. The Ollama dependency minimum is 0.5.
Unsupported error propagation src/jig/llm/google.py, src/jig/llm/anthropic.py	Gemini and Anthropic preserve UnsupportedReasoningError before requests. Anthropic also preserves UnsupportedResponseFormatError.
Validation and documentation tests/test_reasoning_control.py, tests/test_response_format_transport.py, README.md	Tests cover defaults, provider mappings, precedence, streaming, and pre-request rejection. Documentation describes reasoning behavior and direct response-format errors.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 91a49

The reasoning-control update adds provider-specific handling while preserving typed unsupported-feature errors for Anthropic. No concrete current-head merge-blocking risk remains.

In `@src/jig/llm/openai.py`:
- Line 141: Update the request-preparation flow around _apply_extra_kwargs at
both call sites to preserve the existing one-argument subclass hook, while
introducing a separate parameter-aware hook for implementations that need
params. Override the new parameter-aware hook in OpenRouterClient and ensure
both hooks are invoked with their documented signatures without breaking legacy
overrides.

In `@tests/test_reasoning_control.py`:
- Line 138: Update the test around merge_completion_kwargs and
AnthropicClient.complete to expect UnsupportedReasoningError exclusively for
non-None reasoning with Anthropic, removing JigLLMError from the accepted
exceptions while preserving the existing test scenario.
