AI Summary

This release fixes critical bugs where multi-turn tool calls on thinking-mode models returned HTTP 400 errors by ensuring assistant messages carry `reasoning_content`. It also includes a UI refactor and cleanup of phantom references.

Key Highlights

  • Fixed HTTP 400 errors for multi-turn tool calls on thinking-mode models
  • Added final-pass wire-payload sanitizer to enforce `reasoning_content`
  • Added logging for `reasoning_content`-related errors for better debugging
  • Stripped phantom `web.run` references from prompts
  • Refactored TUI header/UI widgets (internal cleanup)

Full Release Notes

## Fixed

- **Multi-turn tool calls on thinking-mode models no longer return HTTP 400.** Every assistant message in the conversation now carries `reasoning_content` when thinking is enabled — not just tool-call rounds — matching DeepSeek's actual API validation, which rejects any assistant message missing the field even though the docs describe non-tool-call reasoning as "ignored".
- **Final-pass wire-payload sanitizer** in the chat-completions client forces a non-empty `reasoning_content` placeholder onto any assistant message still missing one at request time. This is the last line of defense after engine-side and build-side substitution, so sessions restored from older checkpoints, sub-agents that append messages directly, and cached prefix mismatches all produce a valid request.
- On a `reasoning_content`-related 400, the client now logs the offending message indices to make future regressions diagnosable.
- Stripped phantom `web.run` references from prompts and the `web_search` tool surface (#25).

## Changed

- Header / UI widget refactor in the TUI (internal cleanup, no user-visible behavior change).
