fix(proxy): preserve byte-faithful Anthropic tool forwarding (#1222)
## Description

Anthropic tool sorting was rewriting `tools` lists even when canonical
order was already present, which forced a mutation path that bypassed
byte-faithful forwarding and reduced prefix-cache hit stability on
repeated `/v1/messages` turns.

Closes #1042

## Type of Change

- [x] Bug fix (non-breaking change that fixes an issue)
- [ ] New feature (non-breaking change that adds functionality)
- [ ] Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing
functionality to change)
- [ ] Documentation update
- [ ] Performance improvement
- [ ] Code refactoring (no functional changes)

## Changes Made

- changed Anthropic tool canonicalization so already-canonical tool
arrays are not rewritten in both single-request and batch paths
- preserved byte-faithful forwarding for no-op single-request canonical
tool-order requests by avoiding unnecessary `body["tools"]` reassignment
- kept canonicalization behavior intact for out-of-order tool arrays
- added one true regression proof for the PRE_SEND empty-tools path,
plus forward-coverage tests for canonical no-op and real-sort-mutation
request bodies in `test_proxy_byte_faithful_forwarding.py`
- updated `CHANGELOG.md` to document the prefix-cache fix

## Testing

- [x] Unit tests pass (`uv run pytest
tests/test_proxy_handler_helpers.py
tests/test_proxy_byte_faithful_forwarding.py -x -v`)
- [x] Linting passes (`uv run ruff check
headroom/proxy/handlers/anthropic.py tests/test_proxy_handler_helpers.py
tests/test_proxy_byte_faithful_forwarding.py`)
- [ ] Type checking passes (`uv run mypy headroom`) or explain N/A
truthfully
- [x] New tests added for new functionality when applicable
- [ ] Manual testing performed

### Test Output

## Real Behavior Proof

- Environment: Windows, local proxy test environment, Anthropic
request-forwarding path
- Exact command / steps: post `/v1/messages` requests with canonical
tool order and then intentionally unsorted tool order through the
`TestClient` path with the no-optimize app variant
- Observed result: the PRE_SEND empty-tools runtime path now keeps
`body_mutated` false where base would mark the request mutated,
canonical-order tool payloads still preserve exact inbound bytes
end-to-end, and unsorted tool-order payloads are still canonicalized as
expected.
- Batch coverage: no dedicated runtime batch regression test was added;
batch no-op/mutation correctness is addressed through the same
compare-and-assign pattern on both batch canonical-sort call sites.
- Not tested: full-suite behavior outside the touched Anthropic
forwarding regression surface

Not applicable.

## Additional Notes

The important boundary is not whether tool arrays can be sorted. The
real contract is whether a no-op canonicalization should count as a
mutation. This change keeps canonicalization for real reorder cases and
restores byte-faithful forwarding for already-canonical requests.

"""Issue #728: proxy must not inject ``tools: []`` when the client omitted the tools field.
vLLM-based providers (Venice.ai, etc.) reject requests containing an empty ``tools``
array. The bug: ``apply_session_sticky_ccr_tool`` / ``apply_session_sticky_memory_tools``
always return a list (empty when no tools exist and none were injected), and the
old handler guard ``if tools is not None`` evaluated True for ``[]``, causing
``body["tools"] = []`` to be sent upstream unconditionally.
Fix: the guard was changed to ``if tools or _original_tools is not None`` in both
the OpenAI and Anthropic handlers so that an empty result list only reaches the
outgoing body when the original request already carried a ``tools`` field.
