Describe the bug When using deepseek-r1, the llm "reasoning" has the same formatting as its intended main output, which creates confusion for the user.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. In a new installation, select "Attach Local LLM"
  2. Type 'deepseek-r1' into the text box, download the model and run the app
  3. Ask any question in the chat bar

Expected behavior Similar to DeepSeek's UI, the reasoning should be formatted separately from the rest of the output, with a collapsible area or a smaller/fainter font.
