- """
-  [DEPRECATED] Sends a request to the configured AI provider and returns the raw response text.
-
-  Functional Purpose:
-   Acts as the legacy wrapper around send_result(). It extracts the string payload ('data')
-   from the returned Result container, logging warnings for any internal execution errors
-   to the communication logs, but suppressing the actual error objects from the caller.
-
-  Parameters & Inputs:
-   md_content (str): Base/system prompt template or markdown content.
-   user_message (str): The primary user instruction.
-   base_dir (str): Base workspace directory path (defaults to ".").
-   file_items (list[dict[str, Any]] | None): Optional list of active context files.
-   discussion_history (str): Contextual discussion history lines.
-   stream (bool): Whether to stream the response chunks.
-   pre_tool_callback (Optional[Callable]): Hook called before a tool call is executed.
-   qa_callback (Optional[Callable]): Hook for Tier 4 quality/validation checks.
-   enable_tools (bool): Controls whether LLM tool usage is enabled.
-   stream_callback (Optional[Callable]): Hook to stream response chunks to.
-   patch_callback (Optional[Callable]): Custom callback for interactive patch validation.
-   rag_engine (Optional[Any]): The RAG engine instance for retrieving vector context.
-
-  Returns:
-   str: The raw text response from the active AI provider.
-
-  Immediate-Mode DAG / Thread Context:
-   Called by: Various legacy scripts, tests, PM/Tech Lead orchestrators, and GUI event loops.
-              See list below.
-   Calls: send_result()
-
-  SSDL:
-   `[I:send_result] -> [T:text]`
-
-  Thread Boundaries:
-   Executes on whichever thread calls it (typically the GUI main thread, API hook handlers,
-   or a background async worker pool thread).
