Description

English

When running make setup, if the user enters an OpenAI-compatible model gateway, the setup flow does not ask whether the configured model supports thinking/reasoning capabilities.

Expected behavior: The setup wizard should prompt for model capability metadata, especially whether the selected OpenAI-compatible model supports thinking/reasoning, so the runtime can configure behavior correctly.

Actual behavior: The setup flow accepts the OpenAI-compatible model gateway configuration but does not provide a prompt for thinking/reasoning support.

Reproduction steps:

  1. Run make setup.
  2. Configure an OpenAI-compatible model gateway.
  3. Continue through the setup prompts.
  4. Notice that there is no prompt asking whether the model supports thinking/reasoning.

Chinese

在执行 make setup 时，如果填入的是兼容 OpenAI 的模型网关，配置流程并没有提示设置该模型是否支持 thinking / reasoning 等能力。

期望行为： 在 setup 向导中补充模型能力配置项，尤其是对于兼容 OpenAI 的模型网关，需要提示用户设置模型是否支持 thinking / reasoning，以便运行时能够正确配置相关行为。

实际行为： setup 流程可以填写兼容 OpenAI 的模型网关，但不会询问模型是否支持 thinking / reasoning。

Research direction
Look at the `make setup` command implementation in the repository, likely in the `scripts/` or root `Makefile`. Find the interactive prompt section where model gateway configuration is collected. Add a new prompt to ask if the OpenAI compatible model supports thinking/reasoning, and store the response for runtime configuration. Reference existing prompts for consistency.
