[cost\_intel] Routing all complex queries to reasoning models without caching common reasoning paths

Implement reasoning cache: Store CoT traces for frequent query patterns; replay verified reasoning chains with instruct models using few-shot CoT

Journey Context:
Reasoning models repeat similar logic for recurring tasks \(e.g., 'analyze this log pattern'\). Instead of paying reasoning cost every time, use the reasoning model once to generate a detailed CoT, then cache it. For subsequent similar queries, use cheap instruct model with the cached CoT as few-shot examples. This achieves 90% of reasoning quality at 5% of the cost. Critical for high-volume analysis pipelines.
