Narration thinking is kept out of the live thinking preview

Narration thinking would be hidden from the live thinking preview, but that path is switched off.

The streaming preview skips narration blocks only with the sable-thrush gate on, which defaults off.

What

The streaming path used to always show the first thinking block of a reply as the in-progress thinking preview. It now checks whether that block is narration first and shows nothing if so. Only reachable with the sable-thrush gate on, which is off by default.

Details
  • The call site also checks that the narration helper is present before using it, so builds without it behave as before.
Evidence

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
