Update verbose logging to safely handle cases where log records may not
have 'id' or 'task' attributes. Prevents potential AttributeError and
improves robustness of LLM and prompt log output formatting.

Remove branch restriction from pull_request trigger to allow codecov
coverage reporting on PRs targeting any branch, not just develop.

)

Implements tool call extraction and passthrough functionality in LLMRails:
- Add tool_calls_var context variable for storing LLM tool calls
- Refactor llm_call utils to extract and store tool calls from responses
- Support tool calls in both GenerationResponse and dict message formats
- Add ToolMessage support for langchain message conversion
- Comprehensive test coverage for tool calling integration

… Runnable protocol support (#1366)

- Implement comprehensive async/sync invoke, batch, and streaming
support
- Add robust input/output transformation for all LangChain formats
(ChatPromptValue, BaseMessage,
dict, string)
- Enhance chaining behavior with intelligent __or__ method handling
RunnableBinding and complex
chains
- Add concurrency controls, error handling, and configurable blocking
messages
- Implement proper tool calling support with tool call passthrough
- Add extensive test suite (14 test files, 2800+ lines) covering all
major functionality including
batching, streaming, composition, piping, and tool calling
- Reorganize and expand test structure for better maintainability

…Rails (#1369)

Ensure AIMessage responses from RunnableRails contain the same metadata
fields (response_metadata, usage_metadata, additional_kwargs, id) as
direct LLM calls, enabling consistent LangChain integration behavior.

Enhance streaming in RunnableRails to include generation metadata in
streamed chunks. Skips END_OF_STREAM markers and updates chunk
formatting to support metadata for AIMessageChunk outputs. This improves
compatibility with consumers expecting metadata in streaming responses.

Remove the push trigger from the PR Tests workflow to avoid duplicate
runs when a pull request is updated. The workflow will now only run on
pull_request events, ensuring a single execution per PR update.

…1382)

Introduce tool output/input rails configuration and Colang flows for
tool call validation and parameter security checks. Add support for
BotToolCall event emission in passthrough mode, enabling tool call
guardrails before execution.

…ion and processing (#1386)

- Add UserToolMessages event handling and tool input rails processing
- Fix message-to-event conversion to properly handle tool messages in
conversation history
- Preserve tool call context in passthrough mode by using full
conversation history
- Support tool_calls and tool message metadata in LangChain format
conversion
- Include comprehensive test suite for tool input rails functionality

test(runnable_rails): fix prompt format in passthrough mode

feat: support ToolMessage in message dicts

refactor: rename BotToolCall to BotToolCalls

…calling (#1405)

* fix: preserve message metadata in RunnableRails tool calling

- Extract message conversion logic to centralized message_utils module
  - Dynamically preserve all LangChain message fields (tool_calls,
additional_kwargs, etc.)
  - Fix tool calling metadata loss in passthrough mode
  - Add comprehensive unit tests for message conversions
