How can I continue?After more reviews become available, a review can be triggered using the To avoid repeated limits, reduce automatic review volume by pausing incremental auto-reviews earlier, using label-based review opt-in, excluding WIP or generated PR titles, or requesting reviews manually when the PR is ready. If your team needs uninterrupted high-volume reviews, an organization admin can enable usage-based reviews. How do review limits work?CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits for each organization. Most developers receive the normal plan review availability. For paid Pro and Pro+ PR reviews, CodeRabbit uses adaptive limits for sustained high-volume activity. When a developer's recent PR review activity reaches the 95th percentile or higher among CodeRabbit users, additional reviews become available more gradually as earlier reviews age out of the rolling window.

- Around line 426-450: Add a unit test in NativeOllamaHandler coverage for the
inverse stale-config case: when enableReasoningEffort is unset or false while
reasoningEffort is still populated, createMessage should not pass a think param
to Ollama. Extend the existing NativeOllamaHandler / getOllamaThinkParam
request-construction tests to assert mockChat receives call args with think
undefined in this scenario, matching the safeguard described in
native-ollama.ts.
In `@src/api/providers/native-ollama.ts`:
- Around line 237-285: Require an explicit Ollama opt-in before translating
reasoning settings in getOllamaThinkParam, because inherited
apiConfiguration.reasoningEffort can otherwise still emit think when the UI is
unchecked. Update the NativeOllama provider logic in getOllamaThinkParam to
return undefined unless enableReasoningEffort is exactly true, while preserving
the existing false/disable handling and the current effort-to-think mapping for
enabled cases.

…ddress CodeRabbit comments - Fix TS2367 in native-ollama.ts: remove unreachable 'image' branch from assistant message conversion (Anthropic ContentBlock union has no 'image'; assistant cannot send images). User-message image handling is preserved. - Gate getOllamaThinkParam on enableReasoningEffort === true so a stale reasoningEffort inherited from another provider config cannot silently emit a think param when the Ollama UI checkbox is unchecked. - Extract buildChatRequestOptions() helper shared by createMessage and completePrompt to eliminate duplicated request-option assembly. - Ollama settings UI: preserve reasoningEffort across checkbox toggles instead of wiping it to undefined when unchecked; restore the prior value on re-enable rather than forcing 'medium'. - Add tests for the stale-config case, the disable+opt-in case, and the completePrompt non-Error throw branch. Coverage now 83.89% (>= 80%).

Description
Adds support for Ollama's native
thinkrequest parameter andmessage.thinkingstreaming field so reasoning models (e.g. qwen3, deepseek-r1) can use Ollama's dedicated reasoning channel.Key implementation details:
Ollama.tsx): Added an "Enable Thinking"Checkboxbound toenableReasoningEffort(defaults tofalse). When checked, it setsreasoningEffortto"medium"and renders aThinkingBudgetselector. The model info is synthesized fromollamaDefaultModelInfowithsupportsReasoningEffort: trueso the effort levels Ollama supports (low/medium/high) are exposed.native-ollama.ts):getOllamaThinkParam()maps the configured reasoning effort to Ollama'sthinkparameter (boolean | "high" | "medium" | "low"). Returnsundefinedwhen unconfigured so nothinkparam is sent and the model/Modelfile stays in control (preserving prior behavior)."xhigh"/"max"are clamped to"high"because the installedollamaSDK (v0.6.x) does not type"max".thinkparam is spread conditionally on both the streaming and single-shot completion paths to avoid sendingthink: undefined.chunk.message.thinkingis streamed asreasoningchunks so reasoning is rendered and preserved like other providers.reasoning/thinkingcontent blocks in conversation history are round-tripped into Ollama'sthinkingfield to preserve multi-turn thinking context. Narrow local types (ReasoningContentBlock,ThinkingContentBlock) are declared to keep type checking intact for the rest of the Anthropic content block union instead of falling back toany.settings.json): AddedthinkingandthinkingHelpstrings.Reasoning is off by default; it only activates when the user explicitly enables the checkbox.
Test Procedure
native-ollama.spec.ts(229 lines): coversgetOllamaThinkParam()mapping for all effort levels,thinkparam presence/absence on the request,message.thinkingstreaming as reasoning chunks, and round-tripping of priorreasoning/thinkinghistory blocks.Ollama.spec.tsx(194 lines): covers checkbox default unchecked, toggling setsreasoningEffortto"medium"/undefined, andThinkingBudgetrenders only when enabled.cd src && npx vitest run api/providers/__tests__/native-ollama.spec.tscd webview-ui && npx vitest run src/components/settings/providers/__tests__/Ollama.spec.tsxqwen3), enable the checkbox, send a message, and confirm reasoning streams separately from content. Disable the checkbox and confirm nothinkparam is sent (model/Modelfile controls behavior).Pre-Submission Checklist
Screenshots / Videos
N/A — UI change is a single new checkbox + existing
ThinkingBudgetselector; can provide screenshots on request.Documentation Updates
thinkingHelptext covers usage).Additional Notes
check-typeshook failed in this local environment due to a TypeScript version mismatch (lockfile expects 5.8.3 path but 5.9.3 is installed); this is unrelated to the changes. ESLint passed on commit.
