…t messages Assistant messages containing only tool calls (no text) were serialized with content: "". Providers that strictly validate the OpenAI chat format (e.g. AWS Bedrock / Nova) reject blank content with a 400 error. Empty text is now coerced to null, which the spec explicitly allows for assistant messages. Co-Authored-By: Robert Yeakel <robert.yeakel@openrouter.ai>
