Description

DeepSeek's September 10 V4.1 release made deepseek-flash natively multimodal and temporarily routes the retired deepseek-v4-flash and deepseek-v4-flash-vision-exp IDs to the same model. Zoo Code previously treated the canonical ID as unknown and blocked images for deepseek-v4-flash.

This change adds deepseek-flash as the default, enables image input for the supported Flash IDs, keeps deepseek-v4-pro text-only, aligns the retired aliases with current pricing and behavior, and adds regression coverage for model discovery, image transport, and disabled-reasoning temperature behavior.

Test Procedure

Run pnpm --filter @roo-code/types exec vitest run src/__tests__/deepseek-v4-pro.test.ts.
Run pnpm --dir src exec vitest run api/providers/__tests__/deepseek.spec.ts api/providers/fetchers/__tests__/deepseek.spec.ts.
Run pnpm check-types.
In Zoo Code, configure the native DeepSeek provider with a valid API key, select deepseek-flash or a supported legacy Flash alias, attach an image, and confirm the request is accepted. Confirm deepseek-v4-pro still does not offer image attachment support.

Pre-Submission Checklist

Issue Linked: N/A; no approved GitHub issue is linked.
Scope: Changes are limited to the reported DeepSeek image-support regression and its tests.
Self-Review: The final diff was reviewed for scope and model-contract consistency.
Testing: Focused tests and repository type checks pass.
Visual Snapshot (UI changes only): N/A; this changes provider capability metadata and request behavior, not a static rendered UI state.
Documentation Impact: Paired documentation update: [Docs] Clarify DeepSeek Flash image support Zoo-Code-Docs#60
Contribution Guidelines: The repository contribution guidance was followed.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

New Features
- Added DeepSeek Flash as the default model.
- Added image support for DeepSeek Flash and DeepSeek V4 Flash.
- Added thinking and reasoning support for DeepSeek Flash.
- Updated model discovery to include DeepSeek Flash and its vision capabilities.
Updates
- Updated output and cached-token pricing.
- Retained older V4 model names as legacy aliases with updated metadata and pricing.
- Updated legacy vision-model reasoning behavior when reasoning is disabled.

Walkthrough

The DeepSeek provider now uses deepseek-flash as its default model. Legacy V4 names remain available with updated pricing, image support, and metadata. Reasoning, discovery, and request tests now include the canonical model.

Changes

DeepSeek Flash model migration

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Model catalog and pricing `packages/types/src/providers/deepseek.ts`, `packages/types/src/__tests__/deepseek-v4-pro.test.ts`	Adds `deepseek-flash` as the default model. Updates legacy aliases with current pricing, image support, descriptions, and metadata.
Provider reasoning and request support `src/api/providers/deepseek.ts`, `src/api/providers/__tests__/deepseek.spec.ts`	Adds `deepseek-flash` to reasoning normalization. Validates default selection, image handling, model metadata, and enabled or disabled reasoning requests.
Model discovery validation `src/api/providers/fetchers/__tests__/deepseek.spec.ts`	Adds fallback and successful discovery coverage for `deepseek-flash`.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Suggested reviewers: hannesrudolph

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 24e0a

LiteLLM users using DeepSeek Flash with tool calls may lose reasoning context during follow-up requests. This compatibility issue should be fixed before merge.

Addressed the requested regression evidence and PR-template compliance in 24e0a7d.

Added explicit catalog assertions that the retired vision alias has neither supportsTemperature nor defaultTemperature.
Added disabled-reasoning request coverage for thinking: { type: "disabled" }, omitted reasoning_effort, and temperature: 0.
Rebuilt the PR description from .github/pull_request_template.md, preserving attribution and the paired docs PR, while marking the absent approved issue and non-UI sections accurately.
Focused tests, lint, and full type checking pass. GitHub CI restarted for the pushed commit and is currently in progress.

Add deepseek-flash to LITELLM_PRESERVE_REASONING_MODEL_IDS

LiteLLM discovery uses isLiteLLMPreserveReasoningModel instead of the native DeepSeek catalog. Because the predicate set omits deepseek-flash, LiteLLM sets preserveReasoning to false and selects convertToOpenAiMessages instead of convertToR1Format with mergeToolResultText. During a tool continuation with text after a tool result, this creates a user message and can cause DeepSeek to drop the previous reasoning_content. The direct DeepSeek handler already covers this model separately.

Add "deepseek-flash" to the shared ID set.
