Subject: [PATCH 01/12] Refactor handle_text_delta() to generator pattern with
 split tag buffering
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Convert handle_text_delta() from returning a single event to yielding multiple
events via a generator pattern. This enables proper handling of thinking tags
that may be split across multiple streaming chunks.

Key changes:
- Convert handle_text_delta() return type from ModelResponseStreamEvent | None
  to Generator[ModelResponseStreamEvent, None, None]
- Add _tag_buffer field to track partial content across chunks
- Implement _handle_text_delta_simple() for non-thinking-tag cases
- Implement _handle_text_delta_with_thinking_tags() with buffering logic
- Add _could_be_tag_start() helper to detect potential split tags
- Update all model implementations (10 files) to iterate over events
- Adapt test_handle_text_deltas_with_think_tags for generator API

Behavior:
- Complete thinking tags work at any position (maintains original behavior)
- Split thinking tags are buffered when starting at position 0 of chunk
- Split tags only work when vendor_part_id is not None (buffering requirement)

Subject: [PATCH 06/12]   fix: handle thinking tags with trailing content and
 vendor_part_id=None

  Fixes two issues with thinking tag detection in streaming responses:

  1. Support for tags with trailing content in same chunk:
     - START tags: "<think>content" now correctly creates ThinkingPart("content")
     - END tags: "</think>after" now correctly closes thinking and creates TextPart("after")
     - Works for both complete and split tags across chunks
     - Implemented by splitting content at tag boundaries and recursively processing

  2. Fix vendor_part_id=None content routing bug:
     - When vendor_part_id=None and content follows a start tag (e.g., "<think>thinking"),
       content is now routed to the existing ThinkingPart instead of creating a new TextPart
     - Added check in _handle_text_delta_simple to detect existing ThinkingPart

  Implementation:
  - Modified _handle_text_delta_simple to split content at START/END tag boundaries
  - Modified _handle_text_delta_with_thinking_tags with symmetric split logic
  - Added ThinkingPart detection for vendor_part_id=None case (lines 164-168)
  - Kept pragma comments only on architecturally unreachable branches

  Tests added (11 new tests in test_parts_manager_split_tags.py):
