chat->Responses->chat bridge converts string user content to text blocks and breaks Databricks json_object

BerriAI/litellm#45618 · upstream bug reproduced by running the issue's own reproduction

✓ Badgr rejects this response

A json_object request whose prompt contained "JSON" came back 400 "messages must contain the word json" because the bridge sent the string content as text blocks (reproduced on 1.104.2: the bridge path fails, the direct path keeps the string).

Outcome contract verdict: response is empty. The attempt is recorded as failed (invalid_outcome) instead of a verified success, so it is not billed as a good answer and can fall back to another route.

The output the bug produces, taken from the issue’s reproduction and fed to Badgr’s validators. Not a live provider call.
