+- Fixed bot hangs when `filter_incomplete_user_turns` was enabled and the LLM responded by calling a tool. The user turn never finalized, so the assistant aggregator gated the tool-result context push and the LLM continuation never ran. Tool calls now finalize the turn the moment they start, before the function dispatches.
