Configuring thinking-effort switching after hooking the GOAT plan up to opencode

The previous post on the goat setup missed one piece: models like deepseek-v4-flash couldn't pick a thinking depth in /models. Digging in, it turned out the GOAT plan does support it — the problem was that the hand-written models in the custom provider were missing a reasoning capability declaration, so opencode's variant generation logic stopped them at the door. In the end I added reasoning:true to every model under goat and goat-zdr, and testing showed no side effects.

Wiring the CommandCode goat plan into opencode: two-step setup + a zdr custom request header

I bought CommandCode's goat plan and wanted to use it as my main plan in opencode. The whole integration takes just two steps: first /connect to save the API key, then declare the provider in opencode.json. The goat plan requires an x-cmd-zdr: 1 header on every request, and testing confirmed you can add that in the config too.
