feat(ai): keep attachment/link-only messages in to_ai_messages, add ChatTool.name (#198)

CHANGELOG.md

@@ -195,6 +195,13 @@ Sync wave from `chat@4.31.0` to `chat@4.41.1` (tracking #184). `UPSTREAM_PARITY`
   - **Emails, URL userinfo and `@name-suffix` no longer mention the bot.** The `@` must not follow an ASCII letter, digit or `_`, and the name must not be followed by one or by `-`. So `jane@mybot.com`, `https://user@mybot.com`, `@mybot-dev` and `@UBOT123-canary` no longer trigger `on_mention` for `mybot` / `UBOT123`. `(@mybot)`, `cc:@mybot`, `wait...@mybot`, `é@mybot` and `@mybot[bot]` still do.
   - **New fields:** `Author.email` and `Author.is_system` (default `None`; `is_system` marks platform-generated messages such as Slack's `USLACK`), and `Message.reply_to` (also on `MessageData` and `SentMessage`). They are the last fields, so positional construction is unchanged. Adapters populate them in later PRs (#209 Slack, #218 Teams, #228 Telegram).
   - **Serialized messages gain optional keys:** `author.email` and `author.isSystem` (emitted only when not `None`; a `False` `isSystem` is emitted), and `replyTo` (a nested serialized message, emitted only when set). `from_json`, `from_json_compat` and the Chat reviver read them, and `from_json_compat` now also returns a `Message` argument unchanged. The replied-to message survives queue/debounce rehydration (its attachments are rehydrated and its `subject` resolves through the same adapter), thread history (`raw` is nulled along the whole chain) and `create_sent_message_from_message`.
+- **AI: `to_ai_messages` keeps image-, file- and link-only messages; `ChatTool.name`** (#198; **consumer-visible** for `chat_sdk.ai` users). Ports upstream `25f30998` (vercel/chat#713, chat@4.35.0), adapts `21dc60c3` (#935, chat@4.41.0) and mirrors the `messages.test.ts` case of `eddcd7e4` (#828, chat@4.39.0).
+  - **More messages in the output.** Messages with empty or whitespace-only text used to be dropped. They are now kept when they carry a fetchable image, a text file or a link preview. Only messages with no usable content are skipped, before `transform_message` runs. `on_unsupported_attachment` now also fires for video/audio on text-less messages (which are then skipped).
+  - **Different part shapes.** A user message with attachments but no text has `content` made only of file parts (no leading text part), so multipart `content` can now start with a file part. A link-only message's content starts with `Links:\n` (no blank line, no `[name]: ` prefix).
+  - "Whitespace-only" uses JS `trim`'s set, as upstream: a BOM-only message is skipped and a NEL (`\x85`)-only message is kept.
+  - **New `ChatTool.name`** (`str`, default `""`, the last field so positional construction is unchanged), mirroring upstream's `ChatToolSpec.name`. Every factory sets its camelCase id (`"fetchMessages"`, …), equal to its `create_chat_tools` key, so `list(create_chat_tools(chat).values())` can be passed to runtimes that need a tool name. `overrides` cannot change `name`.
+  - The shared message helpers moved to the private `chat_sdk.ai.message_content` module; `TEXT_MIME_PREFIXES` is still importable from `chat_sdk.ai` and `chat_sdk.ai.messages`.
+  - Fidelity: `ai/messages.test.ts` 9 → 0 missing at `chat@4.41.1`.

+### AI messages without text and tool names (chat@4.35–4.41, #198)
+
+Parity with upstream `25f30998` (vercel/chat#713, chat@4.35.0), adapted
+from `21dc60c3` (#935, chat@4.41.0), and the `messages.test.ts` case of
+`eddcd7e4` (#828, chat@4.39.0). No divergence-table rows.
+
+- **Messages without text (`25f30998`).** `to_ai_messages` no longer drops
+  messages whose text is empty or whitespace. The `[name]: ` prefix is added
+  only when there is text; a link-only message renders `Links:\n…` with no
+  leading blank line; a user message with attachment parts gets a leading
+  text part only when it has text or links. A message is skipped when its
+  content is a whitespace-only string or an empty list, checked **before**
+  `transform_message`, so the transform never sees it.
+  `on_unsupported_attachment` still fires for video/audio on a message that
+  is then skipped. "Whitespace" is JS `trim`'s set
+  (`chat_sdk.shared._js_compat.JS_WHITESPACE`), not `str.strip()`'s: a
+  BOM-only message is skipped and a NEL-only one is kept, as upstream.
+- **Module split (`21dc60c3`).** The link renderer, MIME helpers,
+  `_sort_by_date_sent`, `_build_message_text`, `_is_unsupported_attachment`
+  and `_attachment_to_part` moved to `chat_sdk.ai.message_content`
+  (upstream `ai/message-content.ts`). They stay private;
+  `TEXT_MIME_PREFIXES` is still importable from `chat_sdk.ai` and
+  `chat_sdk.ai.messages`. Upstream's `fetchAttachmentContent` /
+  `attachmentToPart` split serves its TanStack converter; Python has one
+  converter, so `_attachment_to_part` keeps fetching and encoding together.
+- **`ChatToolSpec` → `ChatTool.name` (`21dc60c3`).** `ChatTool` already had
+  the spec shape (description, input schema, `execute`, `needs_approval`);
+  the port adds only `name: str = ""` as the **last** field, so existing
+  positional and keyword construction keeps working. Every factory sets its
+  camelCase id and `create_chat_tools` keys the result by it, so
+  `list(create_chat_tools(chat).values())` can feed runtimes that need a tool
+  name. `"name"` is in `_PROTECTED_TOOL_FIELDS` (Python-only: upstream's AI
+  SDK tools carry no name), so an override cannot desynchronize it from the
+  key. The `toAiTool` wrappers and the TanStack exporter are TS-only (#203).
+- **Bytes-like attachment data (`eddcd7e4`).** Upstream passes an
+  `ArrayBuffer` from `fetchData` through as the part's `data`. Python always
+  inlines a base64 `data:` URL; `base64.b64encode` accepts `bytes`,
+  `bytearray` and `memoryview`, so no conversion is needed. The upstream
+  test "uses ArrayBuffer attachment data without Buffer conversion" is
+  ported under its own name with `bytearray` and `memoryview` data,
+  asserting the same `data:image/png;base64,AQID` part. As before, an
+  unnamed attachment gets `filename=""` (upstream leaves it `undefined`).
