A hidden hint can appear on thinking blocks per model, off by default.

The thinking-block renderer for assistant messages now takes a model prop and, for string models, checks a quizzical_shore experiment via a capability-logging helper, falling back to the tengu_quizzical_shore gate. When either resolves false, a hint node is shown alongside the trimmed thinking text. The message's model (X.message.model) is now threaded into the renderer specifically to support this check.
