HandoffTool changes conversation status but only posts a private note.
ResponseBuilderJob now detects the tool flag and creates the public
handoff message that was previously only shown in V1.
# Pull Request Template
## Description
Captain V2 was silently forwarding conversations to humans without
showing a handoff message to the customer. The conversation appeared to
just stop
responding.
Root cause: In V2, HandoffTool calls bot_handoff! during agent
execution, which changes conversation status from pending to open. By
the time control returns
to ResponseBuilderJob#process_response, the conversation_pending? guard
returns early - skipping create_handoff_message entirely. The V1 flow
didn't have this
problem because AssistantChatService just returns a string token
(conversation_handoff) and lets ResponseBuilderJob handle everything.
What changed:
1. AgentRunnerService now surfaces the handoff_tool_called flag (already
tracked internally for usage metadata) in its response hash.
2. ResponseBuilderJob#handoff_requested? detects handoffs from both V1
(response token) and V2 (tool flag).
3. ResponseBuilderJob#process_response checks handoff_requested? before
the conversation_pending? guard, so V2 handoffs are processed even when
the status has
already changed.
4. ResponseBuilderJob#process_action('handoff') captures
conversation_pending? before calling bot_handoff! and uses that snapshot
to guard both bot_handoff!
and the OOO message - preventing double-execution when V2's HandoffTool
already ran them.
New V2 handoff flow:
AgentRunnerService
→ agent calls HandoffTool (creates private note, calls bot_handoff!)
→ returns response with handoff_tool_called: true
ResponseBuilderJob#process_response
→ handoff_requested? detects the flag
→ process_action('handoff')
→ create_handoff_message (public message for customer)
→ bot_handoff! skipped (conversation_pending? is false)
→ OOO skipped (conversation_pending? is false)
Fixes#13881

## How Has This Been Tested?
- Update existing response_builder_job_spec.rb covering the V2 handoff
path, V2 normal response path, and V1 regression
- Updated existing agent_runner_service_spec.rb expectations for the new
handoff_tool_called key and added a context for when the flag is true
