fix: extract _repair_tool_call_arguments helper, add tests, bound loop

Follow-up for PR #12252 salvage:
- Extract 75-line inline repair block to _repair_tool_call_arguments()
  module-level helper for testability and readability
- Remove redundant 'import re as _re' (re already imported at line 33)
- Bound the while-True excess-delimiter removal loop to 50 iterations
- Add 17 tests covering all 6 repair stages
- Add sirEven to AUTHOR_MAP in release.py
