<p>The chat() method signature accepts array|string|ChatInput, but when a string is passed, line 312 calls $input->isStreamedOutput() on the string, causing a fatal error. </p>
<h4 id="summary-steps-reproduce">Steps to reproduce</h4>
<pre>$provider = \Drupal::service("ai.provider")->createInstance("mistral"); <br> $provider->chat("Hello", "mistral-small-latest"); <br> // Error: Call to a member function isStreamedOutput() on string </pre><h3 id="summary-proposed-resolution">Proposed resolution</h3>
<p>Normalize string and array inputs to ChatInput at the start of the chat() method, matching the interface contract. Additionally, guard the isStreamedOutput() call to only apply for ChatInput objects. </p>
<p> - String input: Convert to ChatInput with a single user message<br>
- Array input: Convert to ChatInput by mapping array elements to ChatMessage objects<br>
- Add type check before calling $input->isStreamedOutput()</p>
