🤖 Reduce flakiness in OpenAI integration tests by defaulting to low reasoning (#269)
Multiple tests in CI were timing out waiting for stream-end events when using OpenAI's reasoning models (gpt-5-codex). The issue stems from reasoning models taking longer to complete in CI environments. ## Solution Modified `sendMessageWithModel()` helper to automatically apply low reasoning level for all OpenAI tests unless explicitly overridden. This: - Reduces model execution time and improves reliability in CI - Still validates all functionality (events, tokens, timestamps, etc.) - Preserves ability to override for specific tests (e.g. web_search tests that need high reasoning) - Applies consistently to all provider-parametrized tests ## Affected Tests All integration tests using `sendMessageWithModel()` with OpenAI provider will now default to low reasoning level, making them faster and more reliable in CI environments. ## Testing - Tested locally: Both openai:gpt-5-codex and anthropic:claude-sonnet-4-5 variants pass - The 'should include tokens and timestamp in delta events' test now completes in ~15s instead of timing out Generated with `cmux`
