Summary
Some LLM providers (e.g., vLLM with QwQ models) send tool_call chunks where the first chunk contains only the function name without arguments, and subsequent chunks contain the arguments. This caused deserialization to fail with 'missing field arguments'.
The deserialization error was silently treated as end-of-stream because 'while let Some(Ok(...))' doesn't match 'Some(Err(...))' - it just exits the loop as if the stream had completed normally.
