ROB-1751 Strip embedded tool-call markers from the answer text only - #2221
Refactored the embedded tool call removal logic to use a more precise regex pattern that only matches complete tool call markers (<< {...} >>), preventing accidental removal of unmatched << operators (like shell/Terraform heredocs or C++ operators) that may appear in Holmes responses.
Key Changes
Extracted regex pattern and functions: Created EMBEDDED_TOOL_CALL_RE constant with improved pattern (<<\s*\{.*?\}\s*>>) that only matches complete JSON-wrapped tool calls, and extracted strip_embedded_tool_calls() helper function
Fixed streaming response handling: Introduced strip_embedded_tool_calls_from_answer() function that applies stripping only to specific answer text fields (analysis, content) rather than the entire SSE event, preventing JSON corruption from regex operations on raw event data
Updated both code paths: Applied the new stripping logic to both the holmes_chat() function and the stream_and_render_graphs() streaming handler
Added comprehensive test: Added test_holmes_chat_streaming_keeps_unmatched_heredoc_in_answer() to verify that unmatched << operators in answers are preserved while embedded tool calls are correctly removed, and that conversation history remains intact
Implementation Details
The original regex pattern r"<<.*?>>" was too greedy and would match from the first << to the first >>, potentially spanning across multiple fields in the JSON response and corrupting the data structure. The new pattern requires a JSON object between the markers and operates only on the relevant text fields, ensuring safe removal of tool call markers without side effects.
When rendering graphs as images, the runner removed << ... >> markers
from the whole raw ANSWER_END SSE line. An unmatched << in the answer
(a Terraform heredoc, a C++ operator) made the regex eat everything up
to the next >> inside conversation_history, the JSON became invalid and
the relay dropped the final answer without posting anything.
Now only the answer text fields are stripped, and only the marker shape
<< { ... } >> is matched, so a bare << survives.

Graph rendering removes embedded JSON tool-call markers from answer text. Streaming sanitization applies only to the analysis and content string fields in answer-end events. Other event data is preserved.

Summary
Marker removal and validation src/robusta/core/playbooks/internal/ai_integration.py, tests/test_ai_integration.py
Graph rendering removes matching markers from answer text. Streaming sanitization changes only analysis and content string fields and preserves other event data. The regression test checks heredoc text and unchanged conversation_history.
Some answer text or commands can still be removed. The issue is narrow but merits correction or explicit acceptance before merging.

non-JSON heredoc openers such as {EOF}. Add a regression case for this command
alongside the unmatched-heredoc test.
