🤖 fix: enable visible reasoning for Opus 4.5 by adding thinking parameter

Opus 4.5 requires both parameters to show reasoning traces in the UI:
- thinking: { type: 'enabled', budgetTokens } - enables visible reasoning
- effort: controls how tokens are spent across all output

Previously we only passed effort, which controls token spend but doesn't
enable the reasoning traces to be returned from the API.
