### Body (preview)

SeeknnDestroy created an issue (openai/openai-agents-python#1407)



OpenAI’s latest Python client (>=1.99.3) introduces the “minimal” reasoning-effort setting, but `openai-agents` didn’t expose it.  

- Add `Reasoning(effort="minimal")` to model settings and request serialization.

- Update converters/LiteLLM integration to propagate the new reasoning option.

- Include tests confirming the parameter is accepted and forwarded to the API.
