fix: prevent already_sent from swallowing empty responses after tool calls (#10531)
When a model (e.g. mimo-v2-pro) streams intermediate text alongside tool
calls ("Let me search for that") but then returns empty after processing
tool results, the stream consumer already_sent flag is True from the
earlier text delivery.  The gateway suppression check
(already_sent=True, failed=False → return None) would swallow the final
response, leaving the user staring at silence after the search.

Two changes:

1. gateway/run.py return path: skip already_sent suppression when the
   final_response is "(empty)" or empty — the user needs to know the
   agent finished even if streaming sent partial content earlier.

2. gateway/run.py response handler: convert the internal "(empty)"
   sentinel to a user-friendly warning instead of delivering the raw
   sentinel string.

Tests added for all empty/None/sentinel cases plus preserved existing
suppression behavior for normal non-empty responses.

"""Tests for duplicate reply suppression across the gateway stack.
Covers three fix paths:
1. base.py: stale response suppressed when interrupt_event is set and a
pending message exists (#8221 / #2483)
2. run.py return path: already_sent propagated from stream consumer's
already_sent flag without requiring response_previewed (#8375)
3. run.py queued-message path: first response correctly detected as
already-streamed when already_sent is True without response_previewed
