Looking at the reasoning traces it sure seems like it's reasoning. It internally debates which of the possibly matching parts of the input are the one described by me in the prompt and picks the right one based on sound reasoning.
I mean, it's a text predictor. When you say <BEGIN_REASONING>, you'll get reasoning-like output next, whether or not the model is capable of reasoning.
It's not just text that appears at first blush to resemble reasoning, it's actual sound reasoning. And it can chain it for hours at a time without breaking down.
