At ~10:15AM UTC 04 May, a change was rolled out to the Vertex API (but not the Gemini API) that caused the API to respect the `include_thoughts` setting and return the thoughts. For consumers that don't handle the thoughts correctly and had specified `include_thoughts = true`, the thinking traces then leaked into responses.
