nanami7777777 7942a77586 fix: normalize multimodal list content in build_assistant_message (#66267)
Second call site (non-streaming / gateway path) now flattens list-type
content with flatten_message_text before the inline <think> regex and the
surrogate sanitizer, matching the interim-text fix from the prior commit.

Adds regression tests (tests/run_agent/test_66267_multimodal_interim.py)
covering:
- build_assistant_message with list content does not raise TypeError
- inline <think> inside list content is extracted + stripped correctly
- _interim_assistant_visible_text is safe for tool messages (list content)
- duplicate_previous_interim dedup guards against tool messages

Verified the tests fail without the fix (TypeError: expected string... got
'list') and pass with it.

"""Tests for issue #66267 — multimodal (list) tool-result content must not
crash interim-assistant-message handling or non-streaming message building.
Root cause (from the issue discussion): after a vision/tool turn the
``tool`` message's ``content`` can be a list of parts (e.g. an image plus
text). Several code paths fed that raw ``content`` straight into regex /
string helpers that assumed ``str``, raising ``TypeError`` on the
list. Because the failure happened inside the per-turn loop *before* the
``role == "assistant"`` guard, the error was retried repeatedly, producing
the "retry loop" symptom.
These tests pin the two fixed surfaces:
* ``chat_completion_helpers.build_assistant_message`` (non-streaming /
gateway path) — now normalizes ``content`` with ``flatten_message_text``
before the inline ``<think>`` regex and the surrogate sanitizer.
* ``run_agent.AIAgent._interim_assistant_visible_text`` (used by the
duplicate-previous-interim dedup in the tool-call path) — now safe for
any role/content shape because ``flatten_message_text`` handles lists.
They also assert the *behavior* the fix preserves: a tool message never
produces interim text, and list content with an inline ``<think>`` block is
flattened + stripped correctly.
