Description

This PR extends the GLM model detection implementation to apply GLM-4.7 specific parameters that were added in release 3.44.1, making GLM models on LM Studio and OpenAI-compatible endpoints behave more like they do on the Z.ai provider.

Key implementation details:

1. Version Detection: Added isGlm47Plus() function to detect GLM-4.7 and higher versions using regex pattern matching
2. Thinking Mode Support: For GLM-4.7+ models, the providers now send the thinking: { type: "enabled" | "disabled" } parameter, similar to how the Z.ai provider handles it
3. Reasoning Effort Integration: Uses the existing shouldUseReasoningEffort() utility to determine whether to enable thinking mode based on user settings
4. Backward Compatibility: Maintains all existing GLM optimizations (mergeToolResultText, disableParallelToolCalls) for all GLM models

Design choices:

• The GLM-4.7 detection uses a strict pattern (/glm[-_]4\.([7-9]|\d{2,})|glm[-_][5-9]\./i) to avoid false positives on ambiguous formats like glm47 or chatglm-6b
• The thinking parameter is only added for GLM-4.7+, not for older versions like GLM-4.5 or GLM-4.6
• This builds on top of PR fix: improve GLM model detection patterns for LM Studio and OpenAI-compatible endpoints #11082's GLM detection utility, extending it with version-specific capabilities

What reviewers should focus on:

• The regex pattern for detecting GLM-4.7+ versions - does it cover all expected variations?
• The integration with shouldUseReasoningEffort() - does it correctly respect user settings?
• Whether the thinking parameter should be applied to all GLM models or only 4.7+

Test Procedure

Unit Tests:

1. Created comprehensive test suite with 101 test cases covering:

   • GLM model detection for various formats (standard, MLX, GGUF, HuggingFace, ChatGLM)
   • GLM-4.7+ version detection
   • Option generation for different GLM versions
   • Edge cases (undefined, empty strings, non-GLM models)

2. Ran tests: cd src && npx vitest run api/providers/utils/__tests__/glm-model-detection.spec.ts

   • Result: ✅ All 101 tests passed

3. Ran Z.ai provider tests to ensure no regression: cd src && npx vitest run api/providers/__tests__/zai.spec.ts

   • Result: ✅ All 33 tests passed

4. Ran full linting and type checking via pre-push hooks

   • Result: ✅ No linting errors, all type checks passed

How to verify:

1. Load a GLM-4.7 model in LM Studio (e.g., mlx-community/GLM-4.7-4bit)
2. Configure Roo Code to use LM Studio provider
3. Enable reasoning effort in settings
4. Start a task and verify that the model receives the thinking parameter
5. Check developer console for any GLM detection logs (if diagnostic logging is added)

Additional Notes

Implementation builds on PR #11082:

This PR assumes that PR #11082 (basic GLM detection) will be merged first, or can be incorporated into this PR if needed. The implementation is designed to be backward compatible and can work independently if the basic GLM detection is not yet merged.

Questions for reviewers:

1. Should the thinking parameter also be applied to GLM-4.6 models, or only 4.7+?
2. Should we add console logging to help users verify that GLM detection is working correctly?
3. Is the version detection pattern robust enough, or should we be more conservative?

Relationship to issue context:

The user asked whether the GLM model detection would also apply model-specific parameters like those added for GLM-4.7 in release 3.44.1. This PR ensures that yes, GLM-4.7 specific parameters (thinking mode) are now applied to GLM models regardless of whether they're accessed via Z.ai, LM Studio, or OpenAI-compatible endpoints.

Important

Adds GLM-4.7+ thinking mode support for LM Studio and OpenAI-compatible endpoints with new model detection and parameter handling.

• Behavior:
  • Adds isGlm47Plus() in glm-model-detection.ts to detect GLM-4.7+ versions using regex.
  • For GLM-4.7+ models, adds thinking parameter in base-openai-compatible-provider.ts and lm-studio.ts.
  • Uses shouldUseReasoningEffort() to enable thinking mode based on user settings.
• Testing:
  • Adds 101 test cases in glm-model-detection.spec.ts for model detection and option generation.
  • Verifies GLM-4.7+ detection and thinking mode support.
• Misc:
  • Maintains backward compatibility with existing GLM optimizations.

Reviewed the GLM-4.7+ thinking mode implementation. Found 1 issue that affects both providers:

• shouldUseReasoningEffort() always returns false for LM Studio and OpenAI-compatible providers because the default model info lacks supportsReasoningEffort and reasoningEffort properties, causing thinking mode to never be enabled for GLM-4.7+ models

shouldUseReasoningEffort() will always return false for LM Studio models because modelInfo comes from either the model cache or openAiModelInfoSaneDefaults, neither of which have supportsReasoningEffort or reasoningEffort properties. The function's fallback logic checks !!modelDefaultEffort, which will be undefined for these models. This means thinking mode will never be enabled - the code will always send thinking: { type: "disabled" }. Consider either: (1) not relying on shouldUseReasoningEffort() for detected GLM-4.7+ models and instead default to enabled unless user explicitly disables via enableReasoningEffort: false, or (2) have getGlmModelOptions() return synthetic reasoning capability info that can be used instead of/in addition to the model info.

_{Fix it with Roo Code or mention @roomote and request a fix.}

Same issue as in lm-studio.ts: shouldUseReasoningEffort() will always return false for models that use default model info (e.g., dynamic providers) because openAiModelInfoSaneDefaults lacks supportsReasoningEffort and reasoningEffort properties. The thinking parameter will always be set to disabled for GLM-4.7+ models using generic OpenAI-compatible providers.
