The chat_completions path raises EmptyStreamError when a stream yields
no chunks and no finish_reason (#64420). _call_anthropic() had no
equivalent, and the eventless failure surfaces differently by client:
- Real Anthropic SDK: no message_start means no final-message snapshot,
so get_final_message() raises a bare AssertionError — not in the
retry loop's transient set, so it burned no retries and surfaced raw.
- OpenAI-compat shims: may fabricate a contentless Message with no
stop_reason (or return None), flowing out as a 'successful' empty turn.
Track whether any stream event arrived and normalize both shapes to
EmptyStreamError, giving the anthropic path the same transient retry
budget in the shared _call() retry loop. A real completed response
always carries a stop_reason, so the guard cannot fire on legitimate
turns (including eventless mocks with stop_reason='end_turn').
Follow-up to #64420.
