-Your AI has a secret notebook.
+## The problem
 
-When DeepSeek or Kimi answers you, it scribbles notes first. "Let me think... the user wants a login page... I should use React Hook Form... check the API docs..." These notes are `reasoning_content`. You never see them. But the AI needs them.
+When DeepSeek or Kimi answers you, it scribbles notes first. "Let me think... the user wants a login page... I should use React Hook Form... check the API docs..." These notes are `reasoning_content`. You never see them. But the AI needs them — the provider docs require the notes to be sent back on every later turn.
 
-The client and its SDK throw the notebook away. Next turn, the AI reaches for it — but the request already went to the API without it. The request carries no notes, or a blank notebook. The AI doesn't crash, but it forgot everything it was thinking. That is why your AI seems dumber on turn 2. It's not dumber. It just lost its notes.

+
+## See it happen in 5 minutes
+
+You need OpenCode and any reasoning model. No proxy, no plugin — this reproduces the drop on a stock install.
+
+1. Start a session with a reasoning model (free tier works, e.g. `opencode/hy3-free`) and give it a real task. It thinks, answers, and emits `reasoning_content`.
+2. Ask a follow-up that depends on the first answer, then capture the outgoing request. Every `reasoning_content` field from turn 1 arrives empty or missing.
+3. The same request through the SDK alone keeps the field. The client is the difference.
+
+Captured evidence for exactly this sequence: [`proof/free-models/`](proof/free-models/). The A/B controls that isolate the field as the only variable: [`proof/curl-control-results.txt`](proof/curl-control-results.txt).
+
+## Why you've probably never seen it
+
+This bug is conditional, and the conditions are "you work the tool hard":
+
+- **Short sessions never hit it.** The drop happens on turn 2+, worst after tool calls. A two-message chat looks fine.
+- **Most gateways don't enforce the contract.** On the free `opencode/zen` tier and OpenRouter, a missing field is accepted, so nothing errors. The model just quietly loses context. No 400, no warning, only worse answers.
+- **Non-reasoning models are unaffected.** GPT, Claude, Qwen, Gemini never emit the field.
+
+If you run long sessions, heavy tool calls, model switching, or subagents, you have probably been hit and blamed the model. That is who this fix is for. If you send three messages a day, you may genuinely never notice — and the plugin detects that and does nothing.
+
+## The evidence
+
+We ran four passive taps (DeepSeek, OpenCode Go, OpenCode Zen, OpenRouter) that forwarded traffic byte-for-byte untouched and logged only metadata. They ran for a week of real work, then were retired. Methodology and raw data: [`proof/` directory](proof/).
+
+- **1,968 drops captured** — a turn that carried reasoning earlier in the same session arrives at the API without it.
+- **2.29 million characters** of reasoning erased over a week of real traffic.
+- **68% of drops happened with zero model change** — same model, same session. Not a model-switch artifact.
+- **OpenRouter drops it too** — 22 drops with confirmed session identity on models served through openrouter.ai, plus the same pattern on DeepSeek and OpenCode Go lanes.
+- **The SDK is innocent.** `@ai-sdk/openai-compatible` round-trips the field correctly; the drop happens in the client's own transform. Captured side by side in [`proof/free-models/`](proof/free-models/).
+
+Every number is recomputable from [`proof/reasoning-drop/drops.csv`](proof/reasoning-drop/drops.csv) and [`proof/reasoning-drop/switches.csv`](proof/reasoning-drop/switches.csv).
+
+## For the skeptics
+
+Three objections come up every time this is posted. Fair questions, with the evidence:
+
+**"Works on my side."** Probably true. The drop is silent on most gateways — no 400, just worse answers, so nothing looks broken unless you compare turn-3 quality with and without. The A/B controls hold everything constant except the field. And the 68% stat rules out model switching as the explanation.
+
+**"Your config is broken."** The configs this was captured on are published, redacted, in [`proof/` directory](proof/). The root cause is in the client's message transform, not config — the SDK control shows the field surviving when only the client is removed from the path.
+
+**"The model cards already say to pass reasoning back."** They do. That is the point. The provider requires the field; the client drops it. The model card is the spec this repo implements.

-628 unique sessions. 12,551 inspect events (the hook fires twice per message by design — first pass patches, second confirms clean). 297 reasoning model sessions patched, 331 non-reasoning correctly skipped. Zero false patches.
+Every request logs an `inspect` event (field coverage, whether the model is a reasoning model, how many turns were patched), so the plugin is auditable even when it patches nothing. Non-reasoning models are skipped by design — zero false patches is a property of the self-detection, not a promise bolted on.
