Report #88645

[synthesis] Agent orchestration loop crashes on unknown stop\_reason when switching LLM providers

Implement a normalization mapper in the agent framework that translates provider-specific stop reasons \(OpenAI: tool\_calls, Anthropic: tool\_use, Gemini: FUNCTION\_CALL\) into a unified internal enum \(e.g., REQUIRES\_ACTION\).

Journey Context:
Agent state machines rely on the finish\_reason to decide whether to return text to the user or execute a tool. OpenAI uses stop and tool\_calls. Anthropic uses end\_turn and tool\_use. Gemini uses STOP and FUNCTION\_CALL. Developers hardcoding OpenAI's tool\_calls string into their router will crash the moment they swap to Anthropic or Gemini. The abstraction must happen at the adapter layer, as no provider adheres to a standard finish-reason schema.
