"""Text-cleanup helpers shared across LLM-output paths.
Single source of truth for `<think>`-tag stripping, Qwen-style "Thinking
Process" blocks, and the soft "reasoning prose" heuristic that catches
chain-of-thought leaks from models that don't tag their reasoning.
Before this module, six different files (`email_routes.py`,
`chat_helpers.py`, `note_routes.py`, `builtin_actions.py`, `research_utils.py`,
`agent_loop.py`) each had their own variant of the same regex. They all
broke in slightly different ways on the edges (unclosed `<think>`, nested
tags, model emitting `<thinking>` instead of `<think>`).
