"""Phase 17 E2E (Playwright, mock-only): the model's "thinking" display.
Story: ``.agent/user_stories/thinking-display.md``
Run in isolation (DB must be up: ``podman compose up -d db``):
uv run pytest tests/e2e/test_thinking_display.py -v --no-cov
MOCK-ONLY suite: ``E2E_REAL_LLM=1`` is not supported here. The real
``turbo`` thinks on *every* turn, which would break the no-thinking
regression test (scenario 4) — the deterministic mock's ``think out loud``
trigger (mock_llm.py) keeps all five scenarios reproducible.
Test → story mapping (Playwright Mapping Rule):
1. ``test_thinking_block_streams_open_then_collapses``
2. ``test_thinking_toggle_after_done``
3. ``test_thinking_restored_after_reload``
4. ``test_no_thinking_block_without_trigger``
5. ``test_thinking_with_deflection``
Determinism note: the mock paces every SSE frame at 0.02s and the thinking
text is ~700–900 chars (≈ 60–75 frames ≈ 1.2–1.5s) before the first
content frame, so "attach → assert open" runs well inside the open window
on headless Chromium; all other assertions are made after the send button
re-enables (fully settled state).
