Problem

Codex omits reasoning.summary by default, so parseRequest sets hideThinkingSummary and all thinking stays in hidden replay envelopes. Genuine user-facing reasoning, e.g. thought parts on the google-antigravity (Cloud Code Assist) wire, never reaches the client UI even though usage counts reasoning tokens.

On that wire the text also never left Google. Cloud Code Assist serves thinking for Gemini either way — thoughtsTokenCount stays non-zero — but returns no thought text unless the request sets generationConfig.thinkingConfig.includeThoughts. Probed against the live CCA endpoint on 2026-09-12:

request thought parts thought chars thoughts tokens
gemini-3.8-flash-high, no thinkingConfig 0 0 321
gemini-3.8-flash-high + includeThoughts 1 358 576
gemini-3.7-flash-tiered + includeThoughts 2 652 1063

So surfacing the summary channel alone was not enough for Antigravity Gemini models: there was no text to carry.

Change

  • New provider-level showThinkingSummary flag (src/types/provider.ts), plumbed through the registry seed Pick, derive seed builders plus config merge, routedProviderConfig backfill, and the auth-cors field policy table as editor.
  • Honored in applyFinalRouteRequestNormalization (src/server/responses/core.ts) via the pinned clientExplicitlyHidThinking helper: when the flag is true and the client did not explicitly send reasoning.summary none, hideThinkingSummary is cleared so thinking flows on the summary channel. Explicit none still wins.
  • The routed backfill matters: routedProviderConfig never calls enrichProviderFromRegistry, so saved rows predating the flag would keep it undefined without it. Explicit user values still win.
  • Antigravity now asks for the text instead of only forwarding it: with the flag on and no explicit client opt-out, the google adapter sets includeThoughts on the CCA envelope, and the wire compiler keeps that key instead of dropping it as an unknown field. Scoped to Gemini wire ids — Claude-on-CCA accepts the flag but never returns thought parts, and gpt-oss rejects it outright (400 INVALID_ARGUMENT), so neither is asked; image-capable models stay excluded so thinkingConfig cannot suppress the responseModalities fallback.
  • google-antigravity preset seeds true; set false in config to opt back out. With the flag off, the CCA request body is byte-identical to before.
  • Docs row in the English providers reference (names the OAuth-only google provider on the Cloud Code Assist wire, and the includeThoughts behavior); locale tables follow in a docs PR right after merge.

Verification

Local full-suite A/B against a pristine dev checkout, because this repository's dev is not green on this machine and a bare pass/fail count would be meaningless. Both runs used the repository's own entrypoint (./node_modules/.bin/bun scripts/test.ts, Bun 1.4.2, 4x parallel, 7 lanes), the same machine, sequential, nothing else running.

tree commit tests run pass skip unique failures
pristine dev 7a0513c2 23253 23143 17 71
dev + this change (clean merge) 47288050 23263 23153 17 71

The failing sets are identical: 0 tests fail on the merged tree that pass on pristine dev, and 0 tests fail on pristine dev that pass on the merged tree. None of the 71 touch this change's files, and the suites this PR adds (responses-show-thinking-summary, google adapter — Antigravity thought-text opt-in, Google wire compiler) all pass inside that run.

Two failures appeared in earlier partial runs and are excluded from the table above only after being explained this way: Codex autostart shim > Unix install rejects delayed detached redispatch after the launcher closes its lease fd reproduces identically on pristine dev in isolation (80 pass / 1 fail on both trees, same test), and crash-guard diagnostics > dumps recent fetch origins (pending/rejected) in the breadcrumb is a 5s-timeout flake under 4x parallel load that passes standalone on both trees (14 pass / 0 fail each). Neither is in either tree's full-run failure set.

One infrastructure caveat, recorded because it cost two runs: Bun 1.4.2 segfaulted twice in a --test-worker while running tests/routing/routing-policy-surface-parity.test.ts, aborting the lane and marking 1066 unrelated files as aborted. That file passes standalone (6 pass / 0 fail) and the numbers above come from complete, panic-free runs. It happens on both trees and is a Bun bug (bun.report/1.4.2/Mt1744846fiDykooC23/...), not a project regression.

Other checks: bun x tsc --noEmit clean; structure:check passed; privacy:scan passed.

Live end-to-end on the surface a user sees (local 2.50.0 plus the equivalent patch, service restarted): a non-streaming turn on google-antigravity/gemini-3.8-flash returned a reasoning item whose summary held the full chain-of-thought; a streaming turn delivered 405 chars through response.reasoning_summary_text.delta; and a real client (codex exec --json) produced {"type":"item.completed","item":{"type":"reasoning","text":"**Explaining Bubble Sort's Stability**"...}}. Behavioural caveat: includeThoughts is necessary but not sufficient — short tool-call steps on 3.8 Flash usually carry internal thinking with no text (0/4 and 0/3 in probes), while long reasoning prompts return 2500-4700 chars, and gemini-pro-agent returned text on 2/2 tool-shaped probes.

Note on dev drift: this branch's base is d9849942; dev has since advanced to 7a0513c2 (#4292). GitHub reports the merge as clean, and the merged-tree run above is exactly dev tip + this change, so no rebase is needed for correctness — say the word if you would rather the branch itself be current and I will rebase and re-run.

Walkthrough

Adds the optional showThinkingSummary provider setting. Provider configuration propagates through registry-derived providers, and Responses normalization exposes upstream thinking unless the client requests "none". Google Antigravity enables the setting by default. Tests cover the behavior.

Changes

Thinking summary configuration and response behavior

Layer / File(s) Summary
Provider configuration contract
src/types/provider.ts, src/providers/registry.ts, src/providers/derive.ts, src/server/auth-cors.ts, docs-site/src/content/docs/reference/configuration/providers.md
Adds showThinkingSummary?: boolean to provider configuration and registry types. Google Antigravity sets the option to true. The field is editor-writable and documented with client override behavior.
Provider configuration propagation
src/providers/derive.ts
Copies showThinkingSummary into provider seeds and derived key-login providers. Registry enrichment backfills the value when the runtime provider has no explicit setting.
Response normalization and validation
src/server/responses/core.ts, tests/responses/responses-show-thinking-summary.test.ts, scripts/test-layout/layout.json, tests/fixtures/test-layout-expected.json
Enables visible reasoning summaries for opted-in providers while preserving explicit client "none". Tests cover enabled, disabled, client-suppressed, Google Antigravity, and DeepSeek configurations.

리뷰 · 우선순위 60 / 80

이 PR는 Codex 클라이언트가 기본으로 reasoning.summary를 안 보내서, 프록시가 모든 생각 글을 숨긴 재생(envelope)에만 넣고 UI에는 안 보여주는 문제를 고친다. 사용량에는 reasoning 토큰이 잡히는데 화면에는 생각이 안 보이는 경우가 대표적이다. 특히 google-antigravity(Cloud Code Assist) 쪽 Gemini thought 파트가 그렇다.

쉬운 말로 하면 이렇다. 지금 dev(HEAD 29d632ff2, 방금 #4284 수동 계정 선택이 풀 커서보다 이긴 뒤)에서는 src/responses/parser.tsreasoning.summary가 없거나 "none"이면 hideThinkingSummary = true로 둔다. 그다음 src/bridge.ts는 그 플래그가 켜져 있을 때 생각 글을 요약(summary) 채널이 아니라 숨긴 재생 쪽으로만 보낸다. Antigravity 어댑터(src/adapters/google.ts)는 part.thought === truereasoning_raw_delta로 넘기므로, 플래그가 켜진 채면 진짜 사용자용 생각이 UI에 안 나오고 토큰만 쌓인다.

이 PR이 하는 일은 프로바이더마다 showThinkingSummary라는 켜짐/꺼짐 스위치를 하나 더 두는 것이다. 타입은 src/types/provider.ts, 레지스트리·시드·설정 합치기는 src/providers/registry.tssrc/providers/derive.ts, 대시보드 편집 허용은 src/server/auth-cors.ts의 필드 정책 표에 editor로 넣는다. 실제로 동작하는 곳은 src/server/responses/core.tsapplyFinalRouteRequestNormalization이다. 라우트가 정해진 뒤 route.provider.showThinkingSummary === true이고, 클라이언트가 일부러 reasoning.summary: "none"을 보내지 않았으면 hideThinkingSummary를 다시 끈다. google-antigravity 시드만 기본 true이고, 설정에서 false로 다시 끌 수 있다. 영어 providers.md에 표 한 줄이 추가됐고, 테스트 tests/responses/responses-show-thinking-summary.test.ts 네 개가 플래그 on/off와 explicit none, antigravity 시드를 본다.

지금 dev 방향(계정 풀 통합 #4279/#4284)과는 겹치지 않는 독립 조각이다. types/config 대분할에 먹혀 닫을 PR도 아니다. 설계도 작다: 전역 기본을 바꾸지 않고, 생각이 진짜로 사용자에게 보이는 프로바이더만 옵트인한다. explicit "none"이 이긴다는 점도도 Codex 기대와 맞다.

다만 합치기 전에 막힌 것과, 테스트가 안 덮는 구멍이 있다.

라인 단위로 남는 구멍은 아래다.

src/server/auth-cors.ts (showThinkingSummary: "editor") - CI hygiene가 unsponsored_surface로 실패했고 intake: hygiene-blocked 라벨이 붙었다. 게이트가 이 PR을 draft로 붙잡아 둔 상태다. 변경 내용은 OcxProviderConfig 키를 필드 정책 표에 맞추는 타입 완성용 한 줄이라 보안 의미는 거의 없다. 그래도 MAINTAINERS.md 규칙상 메인테이너가 보고 maintainer-sponsored를 붙여야 게이트가 풀린다.

tests/responses/responses-show-thinking-summary.test.ts - 가짜 SSE는 response.reasoning_text.*(네이티브 Responses 모양)만 넣는다. Antigravity 실경로는 src/adapters/google.ts가 만드는 reasoning_raw_delta다. hideThinkingSummary를 bridge가 양쪽에서 보므로 논리상은 통하지만, 이 PR이 고치겠다고 적은 CCA thought → UI 경로는 회귀 테스트에 없다. deepseek 시드+플래그 강제와 antigravity 시드 boolean 검사만 있다.

docs-site 영어 providers.md만 갱신 - 표 행 추가는 다른 로케일과 직접 모순은 아니지만, AGENTS.md는 로케일이 영어와 어긋나면 안 된다고 한다. 후속으로 ko/ja 등에 같은 행을 맞추거나, 머지 직후 짧은 문서 PR을 잇는 편이 안전하다.

applyFinalRouteRequestNormalizationparsed._rawBody.reasoning.summary === "none" 판별 - 지금 parser는 _rawBody를 항상 남기므로 실사용은 안전해 보인다. 다만 이 분기가 “생략”과 "none"을 다시 나누는 유일한 곳이므로, 나중에 _rawBody를 줄이거나 다른 진입점이 hide 플래그만 복사하면 explicit none이 풀릴 수 있다. 주석이나 헬퍼로 “raw summary none만 지킨다”를 고정해 두면 좋다.

메인테이너의 판단이 필요한 지점

  • auth-cors.ts 한 줄 추가를 보안 리뷰 후 maintainer-sponsored로 통과시킬지 (권장: 통과)
  • antigravity reasoning_raw_delta 경로 회귀 테스트를 이 PR에 더 넣을지, 머지 후 후속으로 둘지
  • showThinkingSummary를 antigravity만 시드할지, 생각이 UI에 보이는 다른 프로바이더(예: 일부 chat thinking 모델)에도 확장할지
  • 영어 문서만으로 머지할지, 로케일 표를 같은 열차에 맞출지

너의 추천
메인테이너가 auth-cors 변경을 한눈 확인하고 maintainer-sponsored를 붙인 뒤, draft 게이트가 ready로 풀리면 머지해도 된다. 가능하면 같은 브랜치에 antigravity/reasoning_raw_delta가 summary 채널로 나오는 짧은 테스트를 하나 더 넣고, 로케일 표는 머지 직후 문서 PR로 맞춰도 충분하다. 계정 풀 통합 열차와 무관하니 순서를 막을 필요 없다. 우선순위 60/80 — 실사용자(Antigravity) 체감 버그에 작은 옵트인 스위치로 답한 깔끔한 PR이고, 스폰서십과 raw-delta 테스트만 정리하면 dev에 올려도 된다.

Feedback addressed in ccc482a (rebased on dev 29d632f):

  • Pinned explicit-none guard: extracted clientExplicitlyHidThinking with a comment pinning that rawBody is the only place distinguishing omitted from none, and the call site now consults it.
  • CCA regression test added: CCA thought parts surface on the summary channel covers the real antigravity wire end to end (mocked v1internal generateContent with thought parts, asserts the request hits generateContent and the response carries the summary item), not just native Responses shapes.
  • Scope kept: only google-antigravity seeds true; docs locales to follow in a docs PR right after merge.

Two asks:

  1. Please security-review the auth-cors.ts one-liner (showThinkingSummary classified as editor, no credential handling, required by the exhaustive Record typecheck) and apply maintainer-sponsored so the hygiene gate clears.
  2. CI box left unticked on purpose: focused and neighbor suites are green locally, but the full custom runner cannot complete in this sandbox (worker panic under load); the remaining failures are byte-identical on the pristine baseline and documented in the PR body. Will tick once remote CI is green.

Live-wire note (local 2.50.0 plus equivalent patch, service restarted): across 6 probes on gemini-3.8-flash, gemini-3.7-flash and gemini-3.1-pro (low/high effort, stream and non-stream, plain and tool-call turns, with and without explicit reasoning.summary detailed), the CCA agent wire returned zero thought TEXT parts every time, while usage kept counting 36-773 reasoning tokens. So the switch itself is verified working by the mocked regression test, but on these turns there is nothing to surface: thinking stays server-side (counts plus tool-call signatures only). Merging this still fixes the hiding logic, but reviewers should know end-to-end visibility depends on upstream emitting thought parts, which I could not elicit on the tested turns.

Follow-up fix in ea27711, worth flagging because v1 of this PR was dead on arrival for real configs: routedProviderConfig never calls enrichProviderFromRegistry, so saved provider rows predating the flag kept it undefined and the opt-in never fired (unit tests passed only because they injected the flag directly). Added the registry backfill following the supportsOpenAiWebSearchToolFields pattern, and the regression test now deletes the key from the seed to simulate an old persisted row.

Live-verified on 2.50.0 plus equivalent patch: gpt-oss-120b-medium via CCA now returns a reasoning item with a genuine visible summary (previously envelope-only), while Gemini flash/pro turns in my probes still carry no thought text from upstream, so visibility there remains upstream-dependent.

Update since the last review: rebased on dev d984994, fixed the routed-path backfill gap described above, refreshed the PR body with the backfill rationale and live-verification evidence. Still blocked only on maintainer-sponsored for the auth-cors one-liner.

Root cause for the "Antigravity shows no thinking while gpt-oss does" symptom, and the fix, in fe13bdb.

Cloud Code Assist serves Gemini thinking either way — thoughtsTokenCount stays non-zero — but withholds the thought text unless the request sets generationConfig.thinkingConfig.includeThoughts. Raw probes against the live CCA endpoint (2026-09-12):

gemini-3.8-flash-high, no thinkingConfig   -> 0 thought parts, 0 chars, 321 thoughts tokens
gemini-3.8-flash-high + includeThoughts    -> 1 part, 358 chars, 576 thoughts tokens
gemini-3.7-flash-tiered + includeThoughts  -> 2 parts, 652 chars, 1063 thoughts tokens

That is why the flag alone was not enough: the summary channel had no text to carry for Gemini, even though gpt-oss-120b returns thought text on the same wire. The adapter now sets includeThoughts for Gemini wire ids when the provider opted in and the request did not explicitly hide thinking, and the wire compiler keeps the key instead of stripping it. Claude is never asked (the flag is accepted but no thought parts come back) and gpt-oss is never asked (400 INVALID_ARGUMENT), so those turns are untouched; with the flag off the envelope is byte-identical to before.

Verified on the surface a user sees, not just at the API boundary. Through the local proxy on gemini-3.8-flash: a non-streaming turn returned a reasoning item whose summary held the full chain-of-thought, a streaming turn delivered 405 chars via response.reasoning_summary_text.delta, and codex exec --json on the real client produced {"type":"item.completed","item":{"type":"reasoning","text":"**Explaining Bubble Sort's Stability**\n\n冒泡排序在比较相邻元素时…"}}. New unit coverage pins the Gemini scope, the two exclusions, the no-opt-in case and the explicit client opt-out; tsc, structure check and privacy scan are clean, and the only red test in the google dir is the pre-existing google-models-listing parallel-load flake that passes in isolation (identical on a pristine dev checkout).

The two failing checks on this head are still just unsponsored_surface, so a maintainer-sponsored label is the remaining blocker.

One behavioural caveat worth recording for reviewers, because it is easy to over-read the includeThoughts fix: the flag is necessary but not sufficient. Cloud Code Assist only returns thought text when the model actually deliberates, and Gemini 3.8 Flash frequently does not on short tool-call steps.

Measured against the live CCA endpoint (2026-09-12, same account):

wire model prompt runs thought text
gemini-3.8-flash-high "check today's weather" + tool declarations 4 0/4
gemini-3.8-flash-high same, with a "keep reasoning in thinking" system nudge 3 0/3
gemini-3.8-flash-tiered + thinkingLevel same 3 0/3
gemini-3.8-flash-high + thinkingBudget 8192/24576 same 3 1/3 (240-291 chars)
gemini-pro-agent (3.1 Pro High) same 2 2/2 (293-634 chars)
gemini-3.8-flash-high Redis failover root-cause analysis 4 4/4 (2500-4700 chars)

So the flag does what this PR claims — without it the wire never carries thought text, with it deliberation is returned verbatim — but whether a given turn deliberates is Google's call, not the proxy's. Short tool steps on 3.8 Flash usually carry internal thinking (thoughtsTokenCount 65-130) with no text to show, which is exactly the "spinner but no thinking" report this PR started from. Long reasoning prompts, and the Pro tier, return text reliably; all three reach the client once the flag is set, verified end to end through the Responses stream and the Codex client.

Test coverage in the PR pins the request shape only, which matches the claim: the adapter always asks when the provider opted in; whether the answer contains text is upstream.

Requesting the one remaining unblock: maintainer-sponsored on this PR.

Why it is the only blocker. pr-hygiene flags unsponsored_surface for exactly one path, src/server/auth-cors.ts, from this one-line diff:

   requiresReasoningPlaceholderModels: "editor",
+  showThinkingSummary: "editor",
   retryOn429: "editor",

It classifies the new OcxProviderConfig key in PROVIDER_CONFIG_FIELD_POLICY. That table is a fail-closed allowlist — providerEditorConfigDTO filters out keys absent from it and parseProviderEditorConfigDTO rejects snapshots containing them — so without the entry the field stays invisible to the raw GUI editor instead of being credential handling. No secret read, write, or comparison path is touched. enforce-target fails on the same code, so this single label clears both red checks.

The review above already reached the same conclusion ("권장: 통과") and rated the PR 60/80 with sponsorship as one of only two remaining items; the other one it asked for, a regression test for the Antigravity reasoning_raw_delta → summary channel path, is already in this head (tests/responses/responses-show-thinking-summary.test.ts, "CCA thought parts surface on the summary channel").

The gate's automatic maintainer ping cannot fire on its own here: maintainersPinged is only set in the path that runs after every other gate passes, so this ask has to be manual. @Ingwannu — you own security review per MAINTAINERS.md; would you take a look?

If you would rather not sponsor the line at all, say so and I will drop it instead: the flag would then be settable only by editing config.json, and the rest of the PR is unaffected. Splitting it into its own PR is also fine if that is easier to review.

Baseline A/B is done, and it clears the last checklist box. Full suite through the repository's own entrypoint (./node_modules/.bin/bun scripts/test.ts, Bun 1.4.2, 4x parallel, 7 lanes), sequential runs, same machine, nothing else running:

tree commit tests run pass unique failures
pristine dev 7a0513c2 23253 23143 71
dev + this change (clean merge) 47288050 23263 23153 71

Identical failure sets: nothing fails on the merged tree that passes on pristine dev, and nothing fails on pristine dev that passes on the merged tree. So on this machine dev carries 71 pre-existing failures and this change adds none — which is what the "local CI green" box means here; a bare "0 failures" claim was never available against this dev.

Two flakes from earlier partial runs are documented in the description rather than hidden: the codex-shim lease-fd test reproduces identically on pristine dev in isolation (80/1 on both trees), and the crash-guard breadcrumb test is a 5s timeout under 4x load that passes standalone on both trees.

Also flagged there: Bun 1.4.2 segfaulted twice in a worker on tests/routing/routing-policy-surface-parity.test.ts (bun.report/1.4.2/Mt1744846fiDykooC23/...), which aborts the lane and marks unrelated files as aborted. That file passes standalone and the figures above come from complete, panic-free runs; it happens on both trees, so it is a Bun bug worth a separate report rather than anything in this PR.

This does not change the ask: maintainer-sponsored for the one-line src/server/auth-cors.ts field-policy entry is still the only thing between this PR and a non-draft state.

Thanks for the complete A/B failure inventory. It is stronger evidence than the earlier partial runs, and the matching baseline failures should remain recorded rather than attributed to this patch without evidence. It is not, by itself, completed required repository CI.

I am not applying maintainer-sponsored solely because the hygiene gate names one line. The current head fe13bdb also changes Google wire compilation, provider defaults, router normalization and Responses behavior (14 files); the sponsorship decision needs to cover that actual scope. This is not a claim that the field-policy line is an authentication defect.

@lidge-jun please confirm the product choice to default Antigravity to visible thinking when the client omits a summary preference, with explicit none/false remaining authoritative, and the intended interaction with #4301. That is separate from whether the field may be edited. I am leaving this open and unsponsored for now, not rejecting the direction or treating the automated recommendation as owner acceptance.

On the #4301 question, here is hard evidence rather than an opinion — I merged this branch onto #4301's head (5d6d1862) and ran the suites it touches:

40 pass / 2 fail, and both failures are exactly the channel assumption:

  • showThinkingSummary provider option > omitted client summary still surfaces thinking on the summary channel
  • showThinkingSummary provider option > CCA thought parts surface on the summary channel

Why. #4301 moves raw reasoning (reasoning_raw_delta — which is precisely what the Google adapter emits for Gemini thought: true parts) from the summary channel to the content channel, and deletes responses-reasoning-summary-rewrite.ts. This branch's flag currently surfaces thinking through the summary channel, so after #4301 the same flag would surface it through the content channel instead. Still visible rather than envelope-only, but the desktop band shows the "Thinking…" placeholder and the raw text is gated behind the CLI's show_raw_agent_reasoning.

So the two PRs do not conflict textually — the merge is clean — but they disagree about which channel carries Gemini's thought text, and that is a user-visible product choice rather than a code detail:

Both are defensible and I am not asking anyone to overrule #4301 — its video evidence for the scrolling band is real. What I would like from the owner is the call on which of the two Antigravity should default to, given that text visibility is the entire reason this PR exists. If the answer is the content channel, I will rework this branch to keep the request-side change (includeThoughts, which is needed either way and is orthogonal to any of this) plus a visibility flag that targets the content channel, and drop the summary-channel assertions.

One practical note while that is being decided: this branch is now well behind dev (base d9849942 vs tip 5042a376). I will rebase once the direction is settled, so the "latest dev" box ends up reflecting a final head instead of a moving target — happy to do it immediately instead if that is preferred.

…inkingSummary

Codex omits reasoning.summary by default, so parseRequest hides all thinking in replay-only envelopes and genuine reasoning (e.g. Gemini thought parts on the google-antigravity CCA wire) never reaches the client. Add a provider-level showThinkingSummary flag, honored in applyFinalRouteRequestNormalization; an explicit client summary none still wins. Seed it true for the google-antigravity preset; operators can set false to opt back out.
…ression test

Address review feedback: extract clientExplicitlyHidThinking with a pinned comment so the omitted-vs-none distinction cannot rot, and cover the real antigravity wire (google adapter thought parts as reasoning_raw_delta reaching the summary channel) instead of only native Responses shapes.
routedProviderConfig never calls enrichProviderFromRegistry, so saved rows predating the flag kept it undefined and the opt-in stayed dead. Backfill from the registry entry following the supportsOpenAiWebSearchToolFields pattern; explicit user values still win. Regression test now deletes the key from the seed to simulate an old persisted row.
Cloud Code Assist serves thinking for Gemini either way — thoughtsTokenCount stays
non-zero — but returns no `thought` text unless generationConfig.thinkingConfig
.includeThoughts is set. Probed 2026-09-12 against the live CCA endpoint:

  gemini-3.8-flash-high, no thinkingConfig   -> 0 thought parts, 321 thoughts tokens
  gemini-3.8-flash-high + includeThoughts    -> 358 chars of reasoning
  gemini-3.7-flash-tiered + includeThoughts  -> 652 chars of reasoning

So showThinkingSummary surfaced nothing for Antigravity Gemini models: the summary
channel had no text to carry. The adapter now sets the flag for Gemini wire ids when
the provider opted into visible thinking and the request did not explicitly hide it,
and the wire compiler keeps the key instead of stripping it as an unknown field.

Scoped to Gemini: Claude-on-CCA accepts the flag but never returns thought parts, and
gpt-oss rejects it outright (400 INVALID_ARGUMENT), so neither is asked. Image-capable
models stay excluded so thinkingConfig cannot suppress the responseModalities fallback.

Verified end to end through the proxy on gemini-3.8-flash: streamed
response.reasoning_summary_text.delta carried 405 chars of chain-of-thought, and the
non-streaming path returned a reasoning item whose summary holds the full text.
showThinkingSummary's job is to take a provider's genuine reasoning out of the hidden
replay envelope. Which channel carries the visible text is the bridge's decision, not
this flag's: lidge-jun#4301 moves raw reasoning from the summary channel to the content channel
(the native gpt-oss shape), so asserting the summary channel here would pin the opposite
of whichever behaviour is current.

Rewritten around the Cloud Code Assist path the flag exists for. That also lets the
request-side half be asserted in the same file: includeThoughts reaching the wire when a
provider opts in, and not being bought at all for a turn the client asked to hide. The
passthrough-based cases are dropped -- lidge-jun#4301 deletes the content-to-summary rewrite they
exercised, and with it their subject.

Comment-only edits keep provider.ts, registry.ts and core.ts from claiming the summary
channel as the contract; the docs row says the same and documents the explicit false.

Decision on the #4301 interaction: we are aligning with it rather than competing over the channel.

What changed in 088af339 (rebased onto dev 5042a376):

  • The flag is now documented as what it actually owns — taking a provider's genuine reasoning out of the hidden replay envelope. Which channel carries the visible text is the bridge's decision, not this flag's. Comment-only edits in src/types/provider.ts, src/providers/registry.ts, src/server/responses/core.ts, and the docs row.
  • tests/responses/responses-show-thinking-summary.test.ts is rewritten around the Cloud Code Assist path this flag exists for, and asserts visible-versus-envelope instead of a channel. Three cases: the provider opts in → the thought text is visible in either shape (summary today, content after fix(bridge): stop raw CoT from scrolling through the desktop thinking band on routed models #4301); the client explicitly sends summary: "none" → hidden envelope; the provider sets false → hidden envelope. It also pins the request-side half in the same file: includeThoughts reaching the wire when the provider opts in, and not being bought at all for a turn the client asked to hide.
  • The passthrough-based cases are dropped, because they exercised the content→summary rewrite that fix(bridge): stop raw CoT from scrolling through the desktop thinking band on routed models #4301 deletes — after it they would assert nothing.

Interaction re-verified on this head: merged onto #4301's head 5d6d186241 pass / 0 fail. Before the rework the same merge was 40 pass / 2 fail, and both failures were exactly these summary-channel assertions. The two PRs no longer disagree in tests; what remains is which channel is current, which is #4301's decision to make.

One consequence stated plainly, since it is the reason this PR exists: after #4301 the text reaches the client on the content channel, so the desktop band shows its placeholder rather than the text, and reading it raw is the CLI's show_raw_agent_reasoning opt-in. The request-side change is unaffected either way — without includeThoughts, Cloud Code Assist sends no thought text at all, so it is needed whichever channel wins.

Still the owner's product call, as @Ingwannu framed it. Our position: either default is workable for us, and the PR is now written so that call does not have to be made before the mechanism can land.

The branch is rebased onto the current dev (5042a376); the full-suite A/B against that base is running now and I will post the numbers here when it finishes.
