Description

With Qwen3 you can dynamically control whether thinking is used or not.

In some cases from the CLI, I want thinking to happen but take only the final output to feed into the next stage of the pipeline.

Is there a built-in way to hide the thinking? Otherwise, I'll just regex out everything between the thinking tags.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the CLI's current Qwen3 output handling and how thinking controls are exposed. Determine whether final-only output is already supported; done means the requested behavior is clearly implemented or documented without relying on regex, with the relevant CLI behavior covered by tests.
