Reasoning was being shipped to every channel as a generic progress message with a `_reasoning: true` flag. Two problems with that: 1. Channels without a low-emphasis UI primitive (Telegram, Slack, Discord, Feishu...) would dump raw model thoughts as ordinary replies, polluting the conversation. 2. The agent loop double-gated by inspecting `channels_config`, which coupled the loop to display policy. Treat reasoning as its own plugin action — `BaseChannel.send_reasoning` defaults to a documented no-op; channels that have a fitting affordance override. ChannelManager routes `_reasoning` outbounds to that method only when the channel opts in via `show_reasoning` (camelCase alias `showReasoning` mirrors `sendProgress`). Plugins that don't override silently drop reasoning — "no fit, no leak" is the contract. Reference implementation lands for WebSocket / WebUI: a new `kind: "reasoning"` frame, parked on the active assistant bubble as a collapsible `Thinking` group above the answer. CLI keeps its existing direct path (it doesn't go through the bus). `ChannelsConfig.show_reasoning` flips to `true` by default — only adapted channels surface anything, others stay quiet. Loop net diff is -3 lines: the `channels_config.show_reasoning` check moves out, leaving emit_reasoning a one-liner that publishes and trusts the channel to decide.
