Motivation and Context

Gemini 3.0 introduces a new ThinkingLevel string parameter with values: "none", "low", "medium", "high". The existing ThinkingBudget parameter remains valid for older Gemini 2.5 models.

Fixes #11920

Description

  • Added ThinkingLevel property to GeminiThinkingConfig
  • Kept ThinkingBudget property as-is (still applicable for older Gemini 2.5 models)
  • Updated GeminiRequestThinkingConfig to serialize both properties
  • Added unit tests for ThinkingLevel serialization and deserialization
  • Converted PromptExecutionSettingsCloneWorksAsExpected to a Theory that tests both ThinkingBudget and ThinkingLevel clone work as expected
  • Kept existing ThinkingBudget unit tests unchanged
  • Renamed sample file to Google_GeminiChatCompletionWithThinking.cs to demonstrate both APIs

Usage:

// Gemini 3.0+
var settings = new GeminiPromptExecutionSettings
{
    ThinkingConfig = new GeminiThinkingConfig { ThinkingLevel = "high" }
};

// Gemini 2.5
var settings = new GeminiPromptExecutionSettings
{
    ThinkingConfig = new GeminiThinkingConfig { ThinkingBudget = 2000 }
};

@copilot, Don't obsolete the other property as it is still applicable for older models.

Remove the added #pragma warning disable CS0618 added because of this.

Keep as is all unit tests that were checking for the thinking budget, and additionally add the thinking level tests validating that either can be used and work as expected.

Move/Rename concept test file to "dotnet/samples/Concepts/ChatCompletion/Google_GeminiChatCompletionWithThinking.cs" as this now contains both ways.

…emove pragma warnings, rename sample file

@copilot I see you changed the PromptExecutionSettingsCloneWorksAsExpected test, please keep it or make it a theory where you check for both ThinkingBudget and ThinkingLevel Clone work as expected.

…h ThinkingBudget and ThinkingLevel, restore Freeze test

Done in 6df9a1f - Converted PromptExecutionSettingsCloneWorksAsExpected to a Theory with two test cases for both ThinkingBudget and ThinkingLevel. Also restored PromptExecutionSettingsFreezeWorksAsExpected to its original state using ThinkingBudget.
