Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The fix is localized to tool-result ordering and persisted-task recovery. It is mergeable with owner awareness of minor type-safety cleanup and an additional regression test for persisted-history requests; no merge-blocking production risk is currently identified.

Narrow result.content before accessing array methods.
These assertions bypass the string | ContentBlockParam[] union three times. Add a shared test helper that checks for array content and returns ContentBlockParam[]. This removes the casts and gives a direct failure if the implementation returns string content.
As per coding guidelines, “If an unavoidable cast is required, document why in a nearby comment.”

Use a typed guard or document the msg.content assertion.
Line 4677 casts the broader ApiMessage content array to Anthropic blocks. Add a typed guard that proves the element shape, or document why every array in this user-message path is guaranteed to contain ContentBlockParam values.

The helper tests do not exercise this persisted-history recovery hook, so they would still pass if request construction stopped normalizing old tasks. Can we add a task-level test that verifies createMessage() receives interleaved persisted results in the corrected order while stored history remains unchanged?

Closes: #1259
Description
Fixes
tool_resultorder not complying with https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/agents-and-tools/tool-use/handle-tool-calls#handling-results-from-client-tools, by movingtool_resultsto the front.I also added a line that fixes the any already-persisted tasks broken by this bug.
Test Procedure
Added unit tests. (I let Claude add these; I personally am skeptical that this amount of unit test really helps, but the project seems to like that so I comply.)
Fixes the concrete instance of this bug I reported in #1259; recovery screenshot of it being unbroken by this fix:
