Not everyone uses LLM to think.

I will frequently ask LLM to do research. But I do that because I'm looking to learn from the process LLM implements, as well.

This became a problem recently when I started using Opus 5.5 for a project. It is able to take hundreds of step to (apparently) flawlessly execute a large/complex part of spec. But very recent updates to VScode has really made it hard to observe the process - by obscuring the reasoning blocks and file diffs.
