Gemini 3 thinking levels are currently assigned through a class-level fallback on types.ThinkingConfig. On the first request this can leave the Pydantic instance without a serialized thinking_level, while also mutating SDK class state for later requests. In addition, Gemini 3.7 Flash does not accept MINIMAL and should use its supported MEDIUM fallback.

Modifications / 改动点

• Pass types.ThinkingLevel directly to the ThinkingConfig constructor so every request serializes its own value.

• Keep case-insensitive validation for Gemini 3 models.

• Use MEDIUM when Gemini 3.7 receives MINIMAL or another unsupported value; retain the existing HIGH fallback for other Gemini 3 variants.

• Add regressions proving two consecutive requests both serialize HIGH and Gemini 3.7 maps MINIMAL to MEDIUM.

• This is NOT a breaking change. / 这不是一个破坏性变更。

No dependency or API-schema change is introduced. This PR intentionally does not add a Gemini-local retry for empty STOP responses: #7104 already handles empty model output in the shared runner, and another provider-local retry would multiply retry attempts.

Checklist / 检查清单

• 😊 If there are new features added in the PR, I have discussed it with the authors through issues/emails, etc. / Not applicable: this is a bug fix and adds no user-facing feature.

Summary by Sourcery

Fix Gemini thinking-level serialization and validation across supported Gemini 3 models.

Bug Fixes:

• Serialize Gemini thinking levels independently for every request and apply model-specific fallbacks, including mapping unsupported Gemini 3.7 Flash values to MEDIUM.

Tests:

• Add regression coverage for repeated HIGH-level serialization and Gemini 3.7 MINIMAL fallback behavior.
