fix: handle empty API responses from Roo and xAI providers

- Added error handling and logging for empty stream responses
- Implemented fallback message when no content is received
- Prevents "Unexpected API Response" errors that were occurring with grok models
- Updated tests to reflect new fallback behavior

Fixes #9076
