These issues and fixes address incorrect empty-content nudges and thinking-prefill retries firing when reasoning models (e.g. Qwen3, DeepSeek-R1) have already produced reasoning or visible content. Work spans detection of inline thinking, structured-reasoning routing, and post-tool-call behavior.

How this cluster was grouped
  • Link evidence (partly structural links): some members are connected by structural evidence (shared changed files, or a closing/superseded reference); the rest are joined by an automated relevance judgement over their text.
  • Members outside that structural core may belong to a different underlying problem.
  • Pairwise link density 0.19: the share of item pairs that carry a link, counting a structural link in full and a relevance-only link at 0.36. 1.00 means every pair is linked.
