Validate that reasoning parameters are correctly serialized and sent to provider APIs. Use when the user asks to test reasoning serialization, run reasoning tests, verify reasoning config fields, or check that ReasoningConfig maps correctly to provider-specific JSON (OpenRouter, Anthropic, GitHub Copilot, Codex).
Validates that ReasoningConfig fields are correctly serialized into provider-specific JSON
for OpenRouter, Anthropic, GitHub Copilot, and Codex.
Run all tests with the bundled script:
./scripts/test-reasoning.sh
The script builds forge in debug mode, runs each provider/model combination, captures the
outgoing HTTP request body via FORGE_DEBUG_REQUESTS, and asserts the correct JSON fields.
FORGE_DEBUG_REQUESTS="forge.request.json" \
FORGE_SESSION__PROVIDER_ID=<provider_id> \
FORGE_SESSION__MODEL_ID=<model_id> \
FORGE_REASONING__EFFORT=<effort> \
target/debug/forge -p "Hello!"
Then inspect .forge/forge.request.json for the expected fields.

Tests for unconfigured providers are skipped automatically. Invalid-effort tests run regardless of credentials — the rejection happens at config parse time before any provider interaction.
