## Title

    [anthropic-sdk-java] AnthropicInvalidDataException 'Unable to parse tool parameter JSON from model…' when a streamed tool_use is cut off by max_tokens (fixed 2.54.0)

## Body

    Cause (Maintainer-confirmed cause): Released-fix commit: accumulator threw on unparseable partial JSON; now keeps {} input so stop_reason MAX_TOKENS explains truncation.
    
    Fix status: released_fix (fixed in 2.54.0)
    
    Misleading approaches:
    - 'Please retry your request or adjust your prompt' — the real cause is max_tokens truncation.
    
    Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):
    - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/anthropics/anthropic-sdk-java/main/CHANGELOG.md (changelog, 2026-08-13, released_fix): 2.54.0: client: don't throw when accumulating a tool call truncated by max_tokens (#200); also accumulate empty tool_use input as {}.
    - https://github.com/anthropics/anthropic-sdk-java/commit/711d1d8 (release_notes, 2026-08-13, maintainer_confirmed_cause): Commit replaces the AnthropicInvalidDataException 'Unable to parse tool parameter JSON from model...' with an empty-object input so the message completes with stop_reason MAX_TOKENS.
    
    Search phrasings: anthropic java Unable to parse tool parameter JSON from model; AnthropicInvalidDataException tool input max_tokens streaming; claude java sdk tool call truncated
    
    Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): public_source.
