fix(gemini): append user after model turn

[DresdenGman]

Summary

• ensure Gemini-formatted histories never end with a model turn
• append a minimal synthetic user continuation for both text and tool-call endings
• preserve histories that already end with a user turn

Root cause

The native Gemini provider maps assistant messages to Gemini's model role but returned the formatted history unchanged. CrewAI retry paths can therefore call generateContent with a terminal model turn, which Gemini rejects with Requests ending with a model turn are not supported.

Validation

• ruff check on the changed implementation and test files
• ruff format --check on the changed implementation and test files
• Python bytecode compilation for both changed files
• focused regression coverage for text assistant endings, tool-call endings, and existing user endings

Full dependency-backed pytest execution is left to CI because the local checkout is intentionally sparse.

Fixes #6984

AI-assisted contribution: Codex assisted with implementation and test drafting; the contributor reviewed the source, diff, repository policy, and validation results and remains responsible for the change.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The Gemini provider now appends a synthetic user message containing “Please continue.” when formatted content ends with a model message. Tests cover text messages, tool-call messages, and conversations ending with a user message.

Changes

Gemini message formatting

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Gemini formatter guard lib/crewai/src/crewai/llms/providers/gemini/completion.py	The formatter appends a user continuation after a final model response. The Pydantic imports are reordered without changing their contents.
Formatter coverage lib/crewai/tests/llms/google/test_google.py	Parameterized tests verify assistant and empty tool-call messages. Additional coverage confirms that user-ending conversations remain unchanged.

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 1c724

This localized change appends a synthetic user continuation when Gemini histories end on a model turn while preserving histories that already end with a user turn; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains after normal checks and review.

Assert the preserved model payload.

This parameterized test checks only the role sequence and the synthetic text. It would pass if the formatter dropped the assistant text or function-call part. Add branch-specific assertions for "Partial response" and the search function call.

As per coding guidelines, "**/*test*.py: Write unit tests for new functionality, focusing on behavior rather than implementation details."

Suggested assertions

     assert [content.role for content in formatted_contents] == [
         "user",
         "model",
         "user",
     ]
+    if assistant_message.get("tool_calls"):
+        function_call = formatted_contents[1].parts[0].function_call
+        assert function_call is not None
+        assert function_call.name == "search"
+    else:
+        assert formatted_contents[1].parts[0].text == "Partial response"
     assert formatted_contents[-1].parts[0].text == "Please continue."
