Is there no way to enable thinking/reasoning in any of the models in Kiro IDE?

After working with Kiro IDE for about a month now on some fairly large projects, I have noticed that I am constantly running into the same issues over and over, whether its ignoring steering files or just flat out giving me output that I did not ask for. I believe a lot of these issues could be solved if I could just enable a thinking/reasoning block for the model I have selected (Opus 4.6, for example) so it could catch these issues before it touches any code, but there seems to be no way to do that, so I'm stuck with it constantly ignoring steering files, never answering questions and instead replying with "You're so right, let me throw away all the work we just did and do this another way", etc.
