+- Updated `NvidiaLLMService` to emit model reasoning as `LLMThought*Frame`s (from both `reasoning_content` and `<think>...</think>` output), avoid mixing reasoning text into normal assistant content, and allow keyless local NIM endpoints while warning when the cloud endpoint is used without an API key.
