fix(provider): substitute space for empty text between signed reasoning blocks

Anthropic adaptive thinking (Opus 4.6+) emits empty text parts between
thinking blocks. Dropping them invalidates thinking block signatures
('thinking blocks cannot be modified'), but sending them as '' fails
validation ('text content blocks must be non-empty'). Substitute a
single space so the part survives all filters and Anthropic accepts it.

Gated on reasoning having an Anthropic signature (metadata.anthropic.
signature != null) so other providers' reasoning — which don't
position-validate — continue to have empty text filtered normally.

Closes anomalyco#16748
