[BUG] Anthropic models emitting thinking blocks (Claude Sonnet 5 by default) fail all requests: google-adk 1.31.1 lock predates ThinkingBlock support

[Prefix]

📋 Prerequisites

• I have searched the existing issues to avoid creating a duplicate (checked content_block_to_part, anthropic_llm, ThinkingBlock, adaptive thinking, google-adk, claude-sonnet-5)
• By submitting this issue, I agree to follow the Code of Conduct
• I am using the latest version of the software (0.9.9; also verified the lockfile on main)
• I can consistently reproduce this issue

🎯 Affected Service(s)

App Service (python runtime / kagent-adk agent pods)

🚦 Impact/Severity

Blocker (for any Agent configured with an Anthropic model that emits thinking blocks; Claude Sonnet 5 does so by default)

🐛 Bug Description

Python-runtime Declarative Agents fail every request with NotImplementedError: Not supported yet. when the configured Anthropic model returns thinking content blocks. Claude Sonnet 5 runs adaptive thinking by default, so pointing an Agent at it makes the agent unusable out of the box.

Root cause is the pinned google-adk version, not kagent code. python/uv.lock resolves google-adk 1.31.1, whose content_block_to_part() only handles text and tool_use blocks. ThinkingBlock and RedactedThinkingBlock support was added upstream in google-adk 1.32.0 (commit google/adk-python@16952bd3, "feat: Add support for Anthropic's thinking blocks" - see the fixed content_block_to_part). The dependency spec in python/packages/kagent-adk/pyproject.toml (google-adk>=1.28.1,<2) already allows the fixed versions; only the lock is behind.

🔄 Steps To Reproduce

1. Create a Declarative Agent (python runtime) with a provider: Anthropic ModelConfig pointing at Claude Sonnet 5.
2. Send an investigation-style A2A message (note: trivial one-liners may not trigger adaptive thinking and can appear to work; prompts with a system prompt plus a task like "investigate X" reliably produce a thinking block).
3. Observe the task fail immediately.

🤔 Expected Behavior

The agent handles the thinking content block (or at minimum degrades gracefully) and returns its answer.

📱 Actual Behavior

A2A task completes within seconds in state failed with message "Not supported yet." and no artifacts. Every request against the model fails the same way.

💻 Environment

• Application version: kagent 0.9.9 (helm chart 0.9.9), python runtime
• python/uv.lock google-adk: 1.31.1 (same on main as of 2026-07-02)
• Kubernetes: EKS, v1.32
• Model: Claude Sonnet 5 via an Anthropic-schema ModelConfig (any thinking-emitting Anthropic model reproduces)

🔍 Additional Context

• Worked before with Claude Sonnet 4.6 (does not emit thinking blocks unless requested); started failing immediately on switching the ModelConfig to Sonnet 5.
• Dependabot proposed exactly the needed bump in chore(deps): bump the python-google-ai group in /python with 2 updates #1832 (google-adk 1.31.1 -> 1.33.0) but the PR was auto-closed after a dependencies label configuration error ("Looks like these dependencies are updatable in another way"), and no replacement update was opened, so the bump silently fell through.
• Workaround we run today: suppress thinking before the request reaches the model (inject {"thinking": {"type": "disabled"}} at a gateway in front of the provider; Sonnet 5 accepts explicit disabled). Works, but forfeits reasoning quality, so a lock bump is much preferable.
