Reasoning surfacing was split across three branches in runner.py plus
two separate streaming buffers (loop hook and runner progress stream),
with three independent display-side gates in the CLI. This collapsed
the policy into one source of truth and fixed two real bugs:
- Structured `reasoning_content` was suppressed whenever the answer was
streamed, because the runner gated emission on `streamed_content`.
Providers don't stream `reasoning_content`; it only arrives on the
final response, so the answer stream and the reasoning channel are
independent. Added `streamed_reasoning` to `AgentHookContext` to track
the right bit.
- `channels.showReasoning` was subordinated to `sendProgress`. They are
orthogonal — turning off progress streaming shouldn't silence
reasoning. Reworked the CLI gates accordingly.
Single-helper consolidation:
- `extract_reasoning(reasoning_content, thinking_blocks, content)`
returns `(reasoning_text, cleaned_content)` with a defined fallback
order: dedicated field → Anthropic thinking_blocks → inline
`<think>`/`<thought>` tags. Models that expose none of these
short-circuit to `(None, content)` — zero overhead.
- `IncrementalThinkExtractor` replaces the ad-hoc `emit_incremental_think`
function and its hand-rolled "emitted cursor" state in both the loop
hook and the runner progress stream.
Also documented the new `showReasoning` channel option in
docs/configuration.md and noted its independence from sendProgress.
