Add ReasoningState with LLM Analysis Before Planning

🎯 Problem

Saturn was jumping directly from StartState to PlanningState without any preliminary analysis of user queries. This resulted in:

  • No visual feedback during the initial thinking process
  • LLM planning without structured reasoning about query complexity and requirements
  • Suboptimal execution plans due to lack of upfront analysis

🚀 Solution

Added a new ReasoningState that performs actual LLM-based analysis before planning, with dynamic visual feedback showing the thinking process.

What's New

New State Flow

Before: StartState → PlanningState → ExecutingState
After: StartState → ReasoningState → PlanningState → ExecutingState

Chat Interface (saturn chat):

  • Same 3-line reasoning phases
  • Proper cleanup of thinking messages
  • Smooth transition to normal assistant responses

🧪 Testing

Manual Testing

# Test in CLI
saturn run "Create a complex multi-region GCP infrastructure"

# Test in chat  
saturn chat
> Deploy a machine learning pipeline with security scanning

Expected Behavior

  1. Shows dynamic 3-line thinking display during reasoning
  2. LLM performs actual analysis of the query
  3. Planning prompt includes reasoning context
  4. Better execution plans based on upfront analysis

📊 Performance Impact

  • Additional LLM Call: One reasoning call before planning (~1-2 seconds)
  • Improved Planning: Better execution plans due to structured analysis
  • User Experience: Clear visual feedback that Saturn is actively thinking

🔄 Backwards Compatibility

  • ✅ All existing commands work unchanged
  • ✅ No breaking changes to APIs or interfaces
  • ✅ Graceful fallback if reasoning LLM call fails

🎨 UI/UX Improvements

  • Visual Feedback: Users see Saturn "thinking" with detailed phase descriptions
  • Better Context: Planning benefits from structured reasoning analysis
  • Professional Feel: Multi-line animations similar to modern AI interfaces

📝 Configuration

No new configuration required - works with existing LLM provider settings.

🚨 Error Handling

  • Graceful fallback if LLM reasoning fails
  • Visual display cancellation on errors
  • Structured error logging in state recorder

🔮 Future Enhancements

  • Reasoning complexity could influence parallel execution strategy
  • Domain-specific reasoning prompts (ML, security, infrastructure)
  • Reasoning cache for similar queries
  • User-configurable reasoning depth
