Subject: [PATCH] fix(phase6b): DeepSeek V4 disable thinking by default + parse
 text block (not first content)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- thinking={type:disabled} skips reasoning trace → output_tokens drop 10x
- find first content block of type='text' (V4 may emit thinking before text)
- DEEPSEEK_THINKING=true env to re-enable if needed for hard problems
