[FEATURE]: Add Zen mode to hide thinking blocks completely #40671
Description
Feature hasn't been suggested before.
- I have verified this feature I'm about to request hasn't been suggested before.
Describe the enhancement you want to request
/thinking currently supports showing reasoning or collapsing it to a one-line header. Please add an opt-in third display state, off ("Zen mode"), that hides reasoning/thinking blocks completely while keeping normal final responses visible.
This is for a quieter, more private-feeling UI, not to change, reduce, or disable model reasoning. Existing show and collapsed modes should remain available.
This differs from #10470 and #4582: those cover hiding/collapsing or persisting thinking visibility; Zen mode would render no thought-block header at all.

Yes, this is very unnecessary:

Thanks for the suggestion! You're asking for a third
/thinkingdisplay state (off, or "Zen mode") that hides reasoning blocks completely, with no collapsed header. Final responses would stay visible and model reasoning wouldn't change.Right now the v2 TUI has only two thinking modes:
showandhide.hidecollapses reasoning into a one-line group header, so this would be a new option. Maintainers will consider it.Related issues and PRs:
