These items concern how the desktop app handles reasoning output when tool calls occur mid-thought, including a bug report about separate "Thinking" blocks and two fixes that adjust how reasoning parts are located or continued. The titles alone don't show whether the fixes are merged or effective.

## TL;DR

- 3 member(s): 1 open issue(s), 0 closed issue(s), 0 open PR(s), 0 merged PR(s), 2 PR(s) closed without merging.
- No fix has been merged to main; one or more PRs were attempted (see below).
- **Recommended:** review the prior/competing PR(s) below. A fix was attempted but not merged; your case may extend or revive that work.
