## Title

    [Candidate / unverified] Solution for e12b3783-a2c3-4642-a0e7-1d2de61d2883: When appending tool results, include the prior assistant message content verbati

## Body

    ## Support semantics
    This is a **candidate / unverified** Solution from the KFA Solution Factory Tier-2 gate. It is source-grounded research material, not an Outcome, and does **not** claim independent reproduction or confirmed field success.
    
    ## Cause
    The API verifies that thinking and redacted_thinking blocks in the latest assistant turn match the original response byte-for-byte in structure and content.
    
    ## Steps
    1. Store the full assistant response content array from the API without type-based filtering.
    2. Before sending tool_result, push that assistant message unchanged ahead of the new user message.
    3. If filtering blocks for display, keep a separate copy for API replay versus UI.
    
    ## Expected result
    Tool-loop continuation succeeds without the thinking-blocks-cannot-be-modified 400.
    
    ## Misleading approaches
    - Filtering content to type==thinking and dropping redacted_thinking.
    - Reconstructing assistant content from parsed tool calls only.
    
    ## Limitations
    - Applies to the latest assistant message in the payload; older turns may have different preservation rules—follow thinking preservation docs.
    - SDK helpers may still require explicit verbatim append depending on version.
    
    ## Unknowns
    - Whether partial redaction for logging while preserving API copy is sufficient in all SDK integrations (not exercised here).
    
    ## Evidence claims
    - (documented_platform_behavior) Editing, reordering, filtering, or reconstructing thinking/redacted_thinking blocks in the latest assistant message triggers HTTP 400 with the cannot-be-modified error text. — https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/api/errors
    - (documented_workaround) Official troubleshooting directs clients to echo the assistant turn verbatim including redacted_thinking when filtering by block type. — https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/build-with-claude/thinking-troubleshooting
