//! Separating a model's **reasoning** from its **content**.
//!
//! Thinking models (Nemotron with `detailed thinking on`, DeepSeek-R1, Qwen3, …)
//! emit their chain-of-thought *inline* in the content stream, wrapped in
//! `<think>…</think>` tags — distinct from the Ollama/OpenAI *separate* reasoning
//! field the loop already detects. Left in place, that reasoning leaks into the
//! reply shown to the user and into the content the agentic loop parses (issue
//! #385). This module strips it.
//!
//! It's a **split**, not just a strip: [`split_reasoning`] returns
//! `(content, reasoning)` so the reasoning can be *captured* (the `plan_mode`
//! technique, `docs/design/thinking-effort-and-plan-mode.md`) rather than thrown
//! away — today every caller discards the reasoning half, matching prior behavior.
//!
//! Two surfaces:
//! - [`split_reasoning`] — batch, for a fully-assembled reply (the non-streaming
//!   completion paths).
//! - [`ThinkFilter`] — incremental, for the streaming path, where a `<think>` block
//!   spans token boundaries (`<thi` / `nk>…</thi` / `nk>`) and must be suppressed
//!   live without ever printing a partial tag.
