That's because there are no "reasoning" tokens. That is the entire point of doing it this way.
One major advantage is that I can switch to a different provider if OAI starts to get weird about this stuff and be able to have a fighting chance of re-adapting my harness to the new vendor's model. If 100% of my reasoning process is outsourced into the proprietary blackbox, there is little hope by comparison.
