fix: repair malformed tool call args in streaming assembly before flagging as truncated

When the streaming path (chat completions) assembled tool call deltas and
detected malformed JSON arguments, it set has_truncated_tool_args=True but
passed the broken args through unchanged. This triggered the truncation
handler which returned a partial result and killed the session (/new required).

_many_ malformations are repairable: trailing commas, unclosed brackets,
Python None, empty strings. _repair_tool_call_arguments() already existed
for the pre-API-request path but wasn't called during streaming assembly.

Now when JSON parsing fails during streaming assembly, we attempt repair
via _repair_tool_call_arguments() before flagging as truncated. If repair
succeeds (returns valid JSON), the tool call proceeds normally. Only truly
unrepairable args fall through to the truncation handler.

This prevents the most common session-killing failure mode for models like
GLM-5.1 that produce trailing commas or unclosed brackets.

Tests: 12 new streaming assembly repair tests, all 29 existing repair
tests still passing.

+"""Tests for tool call argument repair in the streaming assembly path.
+
+The streaming path (run_agent._call_chat_completions) assembles tool call
+deltas into full arguments.  When a model truncates or malforms the JSON
+(e.g. GLM-5.1 via Ollama), the assembly path used to pass the broken JSON
+straight through — setting has_truncated_tool_args but NOT repairing it.
+That triggered the truncation handler to kill the session with /new required.
+
+The fix: repair arguments in the streaming assembly path using
+_repair_tool_call_arguments() so repairable malformations (trailing commas,
+unclosed brackets, Python None) don't kill the session.
