Subject: [PATCH] fix: prevent repeated content animation during thinking
 streaming (#614) (#623)

* fix: prevent repeated content animation during thinking streaming (#614)

- Implement chunked rendering using reasoningContentChunks
- Static content (previous chunks) renders without animation
- Only current streaming chunk animates
- Disable animation on plan content (title, thought, steps) during streaming
- Animation applies after content finishes streaming (when complete)
- Prevents visual duplication of repeated sentences in thinking process
