-o thinking 1option to help test against LLM 0.32a0 and higher.
This plugin provides a fake model called "echo" for LLM which doesn't run an LLM at all - it's useful for writing automated tests. You can now do this:
uvx --with llm==0.32a1 --with llm-echo==0.5a0 llm -m echo hi -o thinking 1
This will fake a reasoning block to standard error before returning JSON echoing the prompt.
