Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Problem: openai-responses was normalized to "openai", causing it to match
the generic openai→anthropic route instead of the specific
transformResponsesAPIToAnthropic route.

Solution: Check specific ProviderFormat == FormatOpenAIResponses before
normalized comparisons to ensure correct routing.

Fixes: TestTransformResponsesAPIToAnthropic_Text, TestTransformResponsesAPIToAnthropic_ToolCall
All transform tests now passing.

Fixes three blocking issues identified in Round 3 code review:

1. Parallel tool_calls OpenAI -> Anthropic merging:
   - Changed transformOpenAIMessagesToAnthropic to accumulate consecutive
     tool messages and merge them into a single user message with multiple
     tool_result blocks
   - Removed transformOpenAIToolMessage function (no longer needed)
   - This ensures parallel tool calls produce correct Anthropic structure

2. Text/tool_result ordering preservation:
   - Updated transformUserMessageWithToolResults to preserve original
     content block ordering via _anthropic_content_blocks marker
   - Modified expansion logic in TransformRequest to emit messages in
     original order (text -> tool_result -> text)
   - Prevents semantic reordering where tail text was moved before tool results

3. Streaming parallel tool calls support:
   - Replaced single global currentBlock with blocksByIndex map to track
     multiple parallel blocks
   - Updated tool_calls delta handling to manage blocks by index
   - Updated finish_reason and [DONE] handling to close all open blocks
   - Enables correct handling of interleaved deltas from multiple tool calls

Updated test expectations to match new correct behavior that preserves
ordering instead of concatenating text blocks.

Fixes the blocking issue where OpenAI tool_call indices were incorrectly
used as Anthropic content block indices, causing index conflicts when
text and tool blocks were mixed.

Problem:
- OpenAI tool_calls[].index represents position in tool_calls array
- Anthropic content[].index represents position in entire content array
- Previous implementation directly used OpenAI index as Anthropic index
- This caused text (index=0) and first tool (index=0) to conflict

Solution:
- Introduced nextAnthropicIndex counter for global content block indexing
- Separated tracking: toolBlocksByOpenAIIndex maps OpenAI indices to
  Anthropic block states with correct anthropicIndex
- Text blocks now get sequential indices from the global counter
- Tool blocks get sequential indices from the global counter
- Result: text=0, tool=1, tool=2, etc. (correct Anthropic semantics)

Added comprehensive test to verify:
- Text block starts at index 0
- First tool block starts at index 1
- content_block_stop events use correct indices

This ensures Claude can correctly reconstruct the streaming content
structure without index conflicts.

Fixes the protocol issue where multiple content blocks could remain open
simultaneously, violating Anthropic Messages SSE semantics.

Problem:
- When switching from text to tool, text block was not closed first
- When switching from tool to text, tool blocks were not closed first
- This allowed multiple blocks to be in "opened" state simultaneously
- Anthropic Messages SSE expects strict "close-then-open" lifecycle

Solution:
- Before opening a tool block: close any open text block
- Before opening a text block: close all open tool blocks
- Ensures only one block is open at any time
- Maintains strict sequential lifecycle: start → delta → stop → start

Example correct sequence:
  content_block_start(text, index=0)
  content_block_delta(text, index=0)
  content_block_stop(index=0)           // Close text first
  content_block_start(tool_use, index=1) // Then open tool
  content_block_delta(tool_use, index=1)
  content_block_stop(index=1)

Updated test to verify lifecycle ordering:
- Verifies text block is stopped before tool block starts
- Checks event positions: start(text) < stop(text) < start(tool)
- Ensures no overlapping block lifetimes

This matches the expected consumption pattern for Anthropic Messages SSE
and prevents protocol violations that could confuse stream consumers.

Fixes the protocol issue where multiple parallel tool_use blocks could
remain open simultaneously, violating strict sequential lifecycle semantics.

Problem:
- When starting a new tool block, only closed the tool at the same OpenAI index
- Did not close other open tool blocks from different OpenAI indices
- This allowed multiple tool_use blocks to be open at the same time
- Example violation:
    tool_calls[index=0] start (Anthropic index=1)
    tool_calls[index=0] arguments delta
    tool_calls[index=1] start (Anthropic index=2)  // tool 0 still open!

Solution:
- Before opening any new tool block: close ALL open tool blocks
- Ensures strict sequential lifecycle even for parallel tool calls
- Only one content block (text or tool) is open at any given time

Correct sequence:
  tool_calls[index=0] start (Anthropic index=1)
  tool_calls[index=0] arguments delta
  content_block_stop(index=1)                    // Close tool 0 first
  tool_calls[index=1] start (Anthropic index=2)  // Then open tool 1
  tool_calls[index=1] arguments delta
  content_block_stop(index=2)

Added comprehensive test for parallel tool calls:
- Verifies tool 0 is stopped before tool 1 starts
- Checks event positions: start(tool0) < stop(tool0) < start(tool1) < stop(tool1)
- Ensures no overlapping tool block lifetimes
- Verifies sequential Anthropic content indices

This ensures Anthropic Messages SSE consumers can rely on strict
sequential block lifecycle without handling concurrent open blocks.

…treams

Fixes the critical bug where interleaved tool call deltas could be sent
to already-closed content blocks, violating Anthropic SSE semantics.

Problem:
- When opening tool 1, all previous tool blocks (including tool 0) are closed
- But toolBlocksByOpenAIIndex map still contains the closed block states
- If subsequent deltas arrive for tool 0 (interleaved scenario), code would
  retrieve the closed block and send content_block_delta to its anthropicIndex
- This violates Anthropic SSE: cannot send deltas to closed blocks

Real-world interleaved scenario:
  tool 0 start (Anthropic index=1)
  tool 0 args part1
  tool 1 start (Anthropic index=2) → closes tool 0
  tool 1 args part1
  tool 0 args part2 → BUG: sends delta to closed index=1!

Solution:
- When closing a tool block, delete it from toolBlocksByOpenAIIndex map
- Subsequent deltas for that OpenAI tool index will find no block and be skipped
- This prevents sending deltas to closed Anthropic content blocks

Correct behavior:
  tool 0 start (Anthropic index=1)
  tool 0 args part1 → delta to index=1
  tool 1 start (Anthropic index=2) → closes and removes tool 0 from map
  tool 1 args part1 → delta to index=2
  tool 0 args part2 → no block found, delta skipped (correct!)

Added comprehensive test for interleaved deltas:
- Simulates real parallel tool call scenario with interleaved arguments
- Verifies tool 0 only receives deltas before being closed
- Verifies tool 1 receives all its deltas
- Confirms no deltas sent to closed blocks

This ensures safe handling of parallel/interleaved tool call streams
that are common in real-world OpenAI Chat Completions SSE responses.

Fixes the critical bug where late tool call deltas arriving after
switching to text could still be sent to closed tool blocks.

Problem:
- When switching to text (line 752), all tool blocks are closed: started = false
- But blocks remain in toolBlocksByOpenAIIndex map
- When processing tool deltas (line 731), code only checks exists, not started
- Late tool deltas are sent to closed anthropicIndex, violating SSE semantics

Scenario:
  tool 0 start (Anthropic index=1)
  tool 0 args part1
  text delta → closes tool 0, starts text (index=2)
  tool 0 args part2 → BUG: sends delta to closed index=1!

Root cause:
- Tool → tool transition: blocks are deleted from map (correct)
- Tool → text transition: blocks are only marked started=false (incorrect)
- Delta handler checks exists but not started (incorrect)

Solution:
- Add started check when sending tool deltas
- Only send delta if block exists AND block.started == true
- Late deltas for closed blocks are silently skipped

Correct behavior:
  tool 0 start (Anthropic index=1)
  tool 0 args part1 → delta to index=1
  text delta → closes tool 0, starts text (index=2)
  tool 0 args part2 → block exists but !started, delta skipped (correct!)
  text delta → delta to index=2

Added comprehensive test for tool → text → late tool delta:
- Simulates tool starting, text interrupting, late tool delta arriving
- Verifies tool block only receives deltas before text starts
- Verifies text block receives all its deltas
- Confirms late tool delta is NOT sent to closed tool block

This completes the strict lifecycle enforcement for all transition paths:
- tool → tool: closed blocks deleted from map
- tool → text: closed blocks kept but marked !started, deltas skipped
- text → tool: text block closed before tool starts
