## Message

````
agent: Allow model to respond with stringified array when it edits (#52303)

## Context

Sometimes the model likes to respond with `"[...]"` for the edits array,
instead of just `[...]`, which causes deserialisation to fail:
```
Failed to receive tool input: invalid type: string "[{"old_text": ..., "new_text": ...}]", expected a sequence
```

## How to Review

<!-- Help reviewers focus their attention:
- For small PRs: note what to focus on (e.g., "error handling in
foo.rs")
- For large PRs (>400 LOC): provide a guided tour — numbered list of
files/commits to read in order. (The `large-pr` label is applied
automatically.)
     - See the review process guidelines for comment conventions -->
