## Summary
- When the copilot model responds with both text content AND a
long-running tool call (e.g., `create_agent`), the streaming code
created two separate consecutive assistant messages — one with text, one
with `tool_calls`. This caused Anthropic's API to reject with
`"unexpected tool_use_id found in tool_result blocks"` because the
`tool_result` couldn't find a matching `tool_use` in the immediately
preceding assistant message.
- Added a defensive merge of consecutive assistant messages in
`to_openai_messages()` (fixes existing corrupt sessions too)
- Fixed `_yield_tool_call` to add tool_calls to the existing
current-turn assistant message instead of creating a new one
- Changed `accumulated_tool_calls` assignment to use `extend` to prevent
overwriting tool_calls added by long-running tool flow
## Test plan
- [x] All 23 chat feature tests pass (`backend/api/features/chat/`)
- [x] All 44 prompt utility tests pass (`backend/util/prompt_test.py`)
- [x] All pre-commit hooks pass (ruff, isort, black, pyright)
- [ ] Manual test: create an agent via copilot, then ask a follow-up
question — should no longer get 400 error

<h2>Greptile Overview</h2>
<details><summary><h3>Greptile Summary</h3></summary>
Fixes a critical bug where long-running tool calls (like `create_agent`)
caused Anthropic API 400 errors due to split assistant messages. The fix
ensures tool calls are added to the existing assistant message instead
of creating new ones, and adds a defensive merge function to repair any
existing corrupt sessions.
**Key changes:**
- Added `_merge_consecutive_assistant_messages()` to defensively merge
split assistant messages in `to_openai_messages()`
- Modified `_yield_tool_call()` to append tool calls to the current-turn
assistant message instead of creating a new one
- Changed `accumulated_tool_calls` from assignment to `extend` to
preserve tool calls already added by long-running tool flow
**Impact:** Resolves the issue where users received 400 errors after
creating agents via copilot and asking follow-up questions.

<details><summary><h3>Confidence Score: 4/5</h3></summary>
- Safe to merge with minor verification recommended
- The changes are well-targeted and solve a real API compatibility
issue. The logic is sound: searching backwards for the current assistant
message is correct, and using `extend` instead of assignment prevents
overwriting. The defensive merge in `to_openai_messages()` also fixes
existing corrupt sessions. All existing tests pass according to the PR
description.
- No files require special attention - changes are localized and
defensive
