    Reasoning parser for the Qwen3 model.

    The Qwen3 model uses <think>...</think> tokens to denote reasoning text
    within its output. The model provides a strict switch to disable reasoning
    output via the 'enable_thinking=False' parameter. This parser extracts the
    reasoning content enclosed by <think> and </think> tokens from the model's
    output.
