 ## Unreleased
 
+- Stop replaying completed assistant reasoning traces to Command Code while preserving visible text and completed tool calls in follow-up request history.
 - Add `/commandcode-refresh` and `/commandcode-status` commands for safe model-catalog refreshes and redacted diagnostics.
 - Bound model discovery to a configurable 10-second timeout so a slow Provider API cannot block pi startup; timed-out discovery uses the validated cache when available.
 - Normalize Command Code context overflow failures so pi can auto-compact and retry, while leaving unrelated rate-limit and capacity errors unchanged.

 Reasoning metadata is enriched only for models whose Command Code effort support is known. Those models register a model-specific `thinkingLevelMap`, so pi and OMP expose only supported levels. A selected supported level is sent as the documented `params.reasoning_effort` field; `off`, unsupported levels, and newly discovered models without metadata do not add reasoning fields to the request. No prompt instructions are injected.
 
+Reasoning blocks from completed assistant turns remain visible in pi's local session, but are not replayed to Command Code in later requests. Only the assistant's user-visible text and completed tool calls are sent back as history. This matches the current Command Code CLI behavior and prevents prior private reasoning traces from interfering with reasoning on follow-up turns.
