## Title

    [Mistral API] 400 'Tool call id was <id> but must be a-z, A-Z, 0-9, with a length of 9' when replaying tool-call ids generated by other providers/clients

## Body

    Cause (Maintainer-confirmed cause): Mistral enforces tool call ids matching exactly 9 alphanumeric characters (^[a-zA-Z0-9]{9}$).
    
    Fix status: fixed_upstream
    
    Limitations:
    - Per-integration fixes; OpenClaw/OpenRouter case open when read.
    
    Other error fragments:
    - Tool call id was i-nKGDr5g but must be a-z, A-Z, 0-9, with a length of 9.
    - Tool call id was read177411253938138 but must be a-z, A-Z, 0-9, with a length of 9.
    
    Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):
    - https://github.com/vercel/ai/issues/11802 (github_issue, 2026-01-15, maintainer_confirmed_cause): @ai-sdk/amazon-bedrock with Mistral models: Bedrock tooluse_ ids rejected 'must be a-z, A-Z, 0-9, with a length of 9'; fixed via PR #11863 normalizing ids.
    - https://github.com/anomalyco/opencode/issues/1680 (github_issue, 2025-08-07, reported_symptom): opencode v0.3.133 call_... ids rejected by mistral-large-latest; closed via PR #2440.
    - https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/52548 (github_issue, 2026-03-23, reported_symptom): OpenRouter → mistral-large-2512 rejects 'read177411253938138' with invalid_function_call (3280); requires ^[a-zA-Z0-9]{9}$.
    
    Search phrasings: mistral Tool call id must be a-z A-Z 0-9 length of 9; mistral tool call id invalid bedrock; openrouter mistral invalid_function_call 3280
    
    Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): public_source.
