* fix: normalize ToolMessage structured content in serialization
When models return ToolMessage content as a list of content blocks
(e.g. [{"type": "text", "text": "..."}]), the UI previously displayed
the raw Python repr string instead of the extracted text.
Replace str(msg.content) with the existing _extract_text() helper in
both _serialize_message() and stream() to properly normalize
list-of-blocks content to plain text.
Fixes#1149
Also fixes the same root cause as #1188 (characters displayed one per
line when tool response content is returned as structured blocks).
Added 11 regression tests covering string, list-of-blocks, mixed,
empty, and fallback content types.
* fix(memory): extract text from structured LLM responses in memory updater
When LLMs return response content as list of content blocks
(e.g. [{"type": "text", "text": "..."}]) instead of plain strings,
str() produces Python repr which breaks JSON parsing in the memory
updater. This caused memory updates to silently fail.
Changes:
- Add _extract_text() helper in updater.py for safe content normalization
- Use _extract_text() instead of str(response.content) in update_memory()
- Fix format_conversation_for_update() to handle plain strings in list content
- Fix subagent executor fallback path to extract text from list content
- Replace print() with structured logging (logger.info/warning/error)
- Add 13 regression tests covering _extract_text, format_conversation,
and update_memory with structured LLM responses
* fix: address Copilot review - defensive text extraction + logger.exception
- client.py _extract_text: use block.get('text') + isinstance check (prevent KeyError/TypeError)
- prompt.py format_conversation_for_update: same defensive check for dict text blocks
- executor.py: type-safe text extraction in both code paths, fallback to placeholder instead of str(raw_content)
- updater.py: use logger.exception() instead of logger.error() for traceback preservation
