## Title

    [AG-UI client] "Invalid event: the frame is not a JSON object." / "the frame carries no event type." from SSE backend

## Body

    Cause (Documented platform behavior): The HTTP transform requires each SSE data frame to be a JSON object with a non-empty type.
    
    Fix status: documented_behavior
    
    Other error fragments:
    - Invalid event: the frame carries no event type.
    
    Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):
    - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ag-ui-protocol/ag-ui/b8ebd02c84a3a2757990da47aebf7c55b708b1ef/sdks/typescript/packages/client/src/transform/http.ts (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): Frames that are not objects or lack a type fail the stream with these errors.
    
    Search phrasings: ag-ui Invalid event: the frame is not a JSON object; ag-ui HttpAgent openai stream frame carries no event type
    
    Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): public_source.
