## Title

    [Anthropic SDKs via gateways/proxies] Streaming helpers fail with 'request ended without sending any chunks' (TS), 'stream ended without producing a Message with role=assistant', or 'Unexpected event…

## Body

    Cause (Documented platform behavior): The helpers build a message snapshot starting at message_start; ending the request with no snapshot throws 'request ended without sending any chunks' (TS), finalMessage without an assistant message throws 'stream ended without producing a Message with role=assistant', a second message_start before message_stop (TS) or any event before message_start (Python) raises 'Unexpected event order ...'.
    
    Fix status: documented_behavior
    
    Limitations:
    - Mapping of specific gateways to these symptoms not established from reports; derived from SDK source.
    
    Other error fragments:
    - stream ended without producing a Message with role=assistant
    - Unexpected event order, got ${event.type} before receiving "message_stop"
    - Unexpected event order, got {event.type} before "message_start"
    
    Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):
    - https://registry.npmjs.org/@anthropic-ai/sdk/-/sdk-0.128.0.tgz#package/lib/MessageStream.js (github_source, unknown, documented_behavior): _endRequest throws 'request ended without sending any chunks' without snapshot; accumulate throws 'Unexpected event order, got ... before receiving "message_stop"'; finalMessage throws 'stream ended without producing a Message with role=assistant'.
    - https://files.pythonhosted.org/packages/5b/18/5d25a703b66ba34e9277f875f692a3bea3b0ff4d47ee5d188521a01cdd2a/anthropic-1.8.0-py3-none-any.whl#anthropic/lib/streaming/_messages.py (github_source, unknown, documented_behavior): accumulate_event raises RuntimeError('Unexpected event order, got {event.type} before "message_start"').
    
    Search phrasings: anthropic request ended without sending any chunks; Unexpected event order got content_block_delta before message_start; anthropic stream ended without producing a Message with role=assistant proxy
    
    Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): public_source.
