"Thinking" not present in Research/Research Experimental thread downloads

dreifach

When downloading Assistant threads, the "contemplating" stages of Research (Experimental) and "scratchpad.md"/"plan" stages of Research are not exported. This behaviour is unlike that expressed in an assortment of other models I tested this behaviour with, like GLM-4.7 (reasoning), Claude 4.6 Sonnet (reasoning), and Qwen3-235B (reasoning). These all contain their "thinking" stages. For reference, I did not test Quick.

Please see the below screen recording for reference.

Hi,

With the current export option (download) provides everything but the research reasoning and references. I would prefer if it included all of the research steps as well (I think the download should be the full transcript verbatim).

This research provides a lot of interesting additional information for follow up work and is important for hybrid human/AI activities especially as regards academic integrity where this is allowed.

I think I can reproduce this. While I don't see any "thinking" or "contemplating" steps in Research at all right now, the export only contains the answer and nothing else, no searches or anything. But, both the Markdown and JSON exports do contain the references.

As it is now, the "thinking"/ "contemplating" blocks are discarded on export. It would be nice of there was a option (eg in "Settings") to include the full output of the model on export, including the blocks representing internal deliberations.

Sometimes there is valuable information in this block of output, that can illuminate the research and reasoning process that led to a particular response,

(Older threads have some kind of hybrid outcome where some reasoning blocks are included and some are not)
