Subject: [PATCH] feat(chat): reasoning activity panel

- Introduced a new ReasoningSidebar component for displaying reasoning details.
- Refactored MessageList and StandaloneChat components to utilize renderBlocks for improved message part handling.
- Added ReasoningTimeline component to visualize reasoning steps.
- Updated message handling logic to differentiate between thinking and content blocks.
- Enhanced localization for reasoning-related terms in English, Russian, and Chinese.
- Improved styling for various components to ensure consistency and readability.
