 ### Fixes
 
+- Models/Providers: preserve explicit user `reasoning` overrides when merging provider model config with built-in catalog metadata, so `reasoning: false` is no longer overwritten by catalog defaults. (#25314) Thanks @lbo728.
 - Exec approvals: treat bare allowlist `*` as a true wildcard for parsed executables, including unresolved PATH lookups, so global opt-in allowlists work as configured. (#25250) Thanks @widingmarcus-cyber.
 - Gateway/Auth: allow trusted-proxy authenticated Control UI websocket sessions to skip device pairing when device identity is absent, preventing false `pairing required` failures behind trusted reverse proxies. (#25428) Thanks @SidQin-cyber.
 - Agents/Tool dispatch: await block-reply flush before tool execution starts so buffered block replies preserve message ordering around tool calls. (#25427) Thanks @SidQin-cyber.
