Kyle Carberry 072e9a212f fix(chatloop): keep provider-executed tool results in assistant message (#23012)
## Problem

When a step contains both provider-executed tool calls (e.g. Anthropic
web search) and local tool calls in parallel, the next loop iteration
fails with the Anthropic API claiming the regular tool call has no
result. However, sending a new user message (which reloads messages from
the DB) works fine.

## Root cause

`toResponseMessages` was placing **all** tool results into the tool-role
message, regardless of `ProviderExecuted`. When Fantasy's Anthropic
provider later converted these messages for the API, it moved the
provider tool result from the tool message to the **end** of the
previous assistant message (`prevMsg.Content = append(...)`). This
placed `web_search_tool_result` **after** the regular `tool_use` block:

```
assistant: [server_tool_use(A), tool_use(B), web_search_tool_result(A)]  ← wrong order
user:      [tool_result(B)]
```

The persistence layer in `chatd.go` already handles this correctly —
provider-executed tool results stay in the assistant message, producing
the expected ordering:

```
assistant: [server_tool_use(A), web_search_tool_result(A), tool_use(B)]  ← correct order
user:      [tool_result(B)]
```

This is why reloading from the DB fixed it.

## Fix

In the `ContentTypeToolResult` case of `toResponseMessages`, route
provider-executed results to `assistantParts` instead of `toolParts`,
matching the persistence layer's behavior.

## Testing

Added
`TestToResponseMessages_ProviderExecutedToolResultInAssistantMessage`
which verifies that mixed provider+local tool results are split
correctly between the assistant and tool messages.
