These were stored directly into _anthropic_history. On subsequent API calls, the SDK would try to re-serialize these objects alongside plain dicts, causing failures — especially after tool use rounds where the history gets complex. Fixed by adding _content_block_to_dict() and calling [_content_block_to_dict(b) for b in response.content] before storing.\n\nBug 2 — _repair_anthropic_history tried to handle SDK objects but history now always has dicts: The old code had a dual path (isinstance(block, dict) vs getattr(block, \"type\", None)) to handle both dicts and SDK objects. Since we now always store dicts, I simplified it to only check dicts, removing the dead code path that could mask issues.\n\nBug 3 — Gemini function_call access without hasattr guard: The tool call list comprehension did part.function_call is not None without first checking hasattr(part, \"function_call\"). Added the hasattr guard to match the pattern used for part.text.\n\nBug 4 — Anthropic b.type == \"tool_use\" direct attribute access: Changed to getattr(b, \"type\", None) == \"tool_use\" for safer access on SDK content blocks during the response processing loop (before they get converted to dicts).\n\n---\nSo lets get back to supporting multiple projects thanks.",
