[BUG] Reasoning level is always 'medium' for local OpenAI compatible providers #993
Description
Problem (one or two sentences)
Can't set reasoning higher than 'medium' for local providers
No matter what you select in the 'Reasoning effort' option, local providers (like omniRoute) always receive "reasoning_effort": "medium".
Cloud providers don't have this issue. For example, https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com/v1beta/openai/ correctly receives options like "reasoning_effort": "xhigh".
Context (who is affected and when)
Local providers like omniRoute.
Reproduction steps
- Install omniRoute
- Connect it as 'Open AI compatible' provider in Zoo Code.
- Set request.
- See 'Client Raw Request' in omniRoute log (or intercept it with mitmproxy).
Expected result
"reasoning_effort": "xhigh"
Actual result
"reasoning_effort": "medium"

I have the same problem. Is a fix expected anytime soon? Reasoning effort is an important feature.
PS: Actually, it would be nice to have a dropdown right in the chat, like in GitHub Copilot or Kilo Code.
