Bug Description
Began a goal prompt on auto mode, and it returns to me

"My tool calls (Bash, Read) are returning empty results this turn — even a plain echo hello came back with no output. This blocks the ARCHITECTURE.md refinement work. How would you like to proceed? → Retry now
⎿  API Error: 400 messages.3.content.7: thinking or redacted_thinking blocks in the latest assistant message cannot be modified. These blocks must remain as they were in the original response."
