fix tests and regen

- Refactored output handling in the Agent class to ensure proper conversion and formatting of outputs, including support for BaseModel instances.
- Enhanced the AgentExecutor class to correctly utilize response models during execution, improving the handling of structured outputs.
- Updated the Gemini and Anthropic completion providers to ensure compatibility with new response model handling, including the addition of strict mode for function definitions.
- Improved the OpenAI completion provider to enforce strict adherence to function schemas.
- Adjusted translations to clarify instructions regarding output formatting and schema adherence.
