[P2] Distinguish string contents from JSON delimiters during repair

An unterminated string whose final content character is } (for example the truncated prefix {"command":"printf }) enters this branch, is treated as a closed object, then fails JSON.parse and falls back to {}. A string ending in an escaped quote has the same problem in the next branch: endsWith(quote) does not mean that the string closed. Both are instances of the envelope corruption this helper claims to repair and lose otherwise recoverable arguments. Use a bounded string/escape-aware envelope check and add cases for braces inside strings, escaped terminal quotes, valid JSON containing literal tag text, and irreparable inputs.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Detect an escaped quote before selecting the repair.

If the argument value ends with an escaped quote before </function></tool_call>, stripped.endsWith('"') is true even though the JSON string remains open. For example, a value ending in \" takes this branch. Appending only } leaves invalid JSON, so the call falls through to {} and can repeat the retry loop this repair targets. Check whether the terminal quote is escaped before deciding whether to append } or "}.

Update the repair branch that checks stripped.endsWith('"') to distinguish an
escaped terminal quote from an unescaped one; when the quote is escaped, append
the closing quote and brace, and preserve the existing brace-only repair for an
unescaped quote.

[P1] Keep malformed tool arguments out of service logs

Every malformed function-call replay that reaches this fallback now prints the first 200 and last 100 characters of raw tool arguments. Tool arguments can contain file content, shell commands and credentials; JSON.stringify escapes syntax but does not redact any of that content. Previously this warning was content-free. Remove the head/tail payload and retain only bounded non-content diagnostics. Add a regression with a synthetic secret/content marker that asserts it never reaches console output.

Do not log raw tool arguments.

When JSON parsing fails, this warning writes the first 200 and last 100 characters of rawArgs to the log. Tool arguments can contain tokens or other credentials, including near either end. Keep the length and a non-sensitive error classification, but remove the argument slices. As per path instructions, “tokens and OAuth material must never be logged or serialized into responses.” Based on learnings, raw argument strings can embed secrets that must not enter a persistent log.

Update the warning in the function_call argument parsing path to retain
rawArgs.length but remove the head and tail slices so raw tool arguments cannot
enter logs; preserve the existing non-JSON warning context.
