/**
 * Kimi payload field-shadowing regression (#2547, PR #2595 review Major 2).
 *
 * ## The vector
 *
 * `normalizeKimiPayload` reconstructs Claude's `old_string`/`new_string` from
 * Kimi's `edit: [{old, new}]` list, because the downstream consumers read the
 * Claude field names. It used to do so only `if (input.new_string === undefined)`.
 *
 * kimi-cli's `StrReplaceFile` schema is `path` + `edit` only
 * (src/kimi_cli/tools/file/replace.py @ 4a550ef) — it carries no
 * `old_string`/`new_string` at all. So either key appearing in a Kimi payload is
 * ALWAYS model-supplied, and under `=== undefined` a model-supplied
 * `new_string: ""` SHADOWED the reconstruction. `msd-prompt-guard.js` then read
 * `content = tool_input.content || tool_input.new_string || ''`, found `''`, and
 * exited at its `if (!content)` guard — so the injection advisory never fired
 * and the real `edit[].new` was never scanned.
 *
 * This is the identical shape as the review BLOCKER that made `path`
 * authoritative over `file_path`, one field over. The fix is the same one:
 * reconstruct unconditionally whenever there are edits, so the field kimi-cli
 * actually executes on is the field the guard inspects.
 *
 * ## Why a `typeof` test would NOT have been enough
 *
 * Gating on `typeof input.new_string !== 'string'` closes the `""`/`null`
 * shapes but leaves the interesting one open: a benign NON-EMPTY string
 * (`new_string: "chore: tidy"`) shadows just as effectively, and passes any type
 * test. The `benign decoy` case below is the one that discriminates between the
 * two candidate fixes, and it is the reason the unconditional form was chosen.
