Substantially expand the Reasoning/Thinking sections on the Agent Language Model Settings page and the LLM Tool Step page with: - Legacy toggle explanation (non-functional, should be ignored) - Per-provider model support table (Anthropic, Google, OpenAI) - Detailed settings breakdown per provider including Claude Opus 4.5 Effort and GPT-5 Verbosity parameters - Known UI bug workaround for disappearing settings after model switch - Cost impact warning (thinking tokens = output tokens) - Adaptive thinking note - Feature history accordion Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Score key: 🟢 9–10, 🟡 6–8, 🔴 1–5. ✨ Overall vibe: The new reasoning/thinking configuration sections are the best part of this PR — well-structured, consistent across both files, and the callouts, tables, and history accordions are all used correctly. The drag is in the pre-existing sections of 🔧 Issues (11)

Verified against relevance-api-node model registry and builder-app gating: - Replace stale/incomplete reasoning support tables (were missing Claude Opus 4.6/4.7/4.8, Sonnet 4.6, Haiku 4.5, Gemini 3.x, all GPT-5.x variants) with capability-based framing that won't drift as models ship - Fix wrong Note claiming standard Claude Sonnet doesn't support reasoning (current Sonnets do — Sonnet 4.6 uses claude_thinking, 4/4.5 use token budget); the "disappears on Sonnet" behaviour is the UI bug, not lack of support - Remove false "GPT-5 verbosity may be feature-flagged for some accounts" claim — verbosity is gated by model capability (supports_verbosity) and the default agent skin, not any account/PostHog flag - Soften "Medium (default)" reasoning effort — default varies by model (GPT-5.1/5.2/5.4 default to none, GPT-5 Pro to high) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

…llout Scope the additions to what the source Slack thread actually covered: legacy toggle is non-functional, reasoning settings are per-model, thinking counts as output tokens (cost), and Claude adaptive thinking / effort levels. - Remove the "Known UI issue" callout (settings disappearing on model switch) from both pages — a live bug shouldn't be enshrined as docs - Remove the "Reasoning feature history" accordions (changelog content, unverified dates — belongs in the changelog, not a settings page) - Fold the model support table and standalone "adaptive thinking" heading into the per-model prose to cut length Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

- Add the Advanced Settings > Language Model "Thinking" screenshot (images/agent/advanced-settings-thinking.png) - New "Thinking type and effort level" subsection on the agent Language Model page using the real UI labels (Thinking Type: Adaptive, Effort Level: Low/Medium/High up to Max), listing the Claude models that show these controls (Opus 4.6/4.7/4.8, Sonnet 4.6) - Link the LLM Tool Step page to that section instead of duplicating - Drop the GPT-5 verbosity bullet from both pages (out of scope) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Score key: 🟢 9–10, 🟡 6–8, 🔴 1–5. ✨ Overall vibe: The new Thinking/Reasoning configuration sections are the PR's core contribution and they're solid — well-structured, consistent between the two files, and the cross-link from llm-tool-step.mdx to the agent settings anchor resolves correctly. The main drag is a cluster of pre-existing grammar errors and heading case violations in llm-tool-step.mdx that the PR touches but didn't fix; since the PR edits this file, it's worth cleaning them up while you're in there. 🔧 Issues (11)
