    // This it set to `undefined` to handle the case where we are proxying requests to Azure. We pass the correct env vars
    // needed to do this in `extraBodyProperties` below, but if we don't set `apiType` to `undefined`, we end up proxying to
    // `/openai/deployments/` which is invalid since that URL construction happens on the proxy.

Summary by cubic

Adds reasoning_content support to chat requests and enables it for Deepseek so tool calls receive the model’s reasoning as required. Addresses Linear CON-5302 and fixes the Deepseek tool-call behavior reported in #8989.

• Bug Fixes
  • Added supportsReasoningContentField capability to BaseLLM and passed it through chat body creation.
  • Included reasoning_content when the previous message is role "thinking" in openaiTypeConverters, gated by provider support.
  • Configured Deepseek to use reasoning_content (supportsReasoningContentField=true, supportsReasoningField=false).
