Subject: [PATCH] fix(proxy): keep hook dicts with no type on the base
 Responses frame

A hook dict with no type is not a Responses event, so it gets no event
name either way. Sending it as JSON only made litellm SDKs that read
type on every event stop the stream. Keep such dicts on the frame the
base sends, so every SDK version reads them as before.
