message should serialize

Error message

message should serialize

What it means

A test-only expect("message should serialize") panic in the interrupted-assistant round-trip test: serde_json failed to serialize a Message with role Role::InterruptedAssistant and partial text content. It means that role or its content blocks are not JSON-serializable, which would break session persistence of interrupted turns.

Solutions

1. Check the Serialize impl on Role::InterruptedAssistant and the ContentBlock variants used
2. Ensure the role serializes to a stable string tag that Deserialize can map back
3. Re-run the round-trip test after fixing so serialize then deserialize reproduce the same Message
