flattenToolHistory only recognized OpenAI-style tool calls. Anthropic-compatible clients (Claude Code, /v1/messages) send tool invocations and results as tool_use/tool_result blocks inside the message content array. Since panel calls strip the tools definitions (#1859), the panel expert models received structured tool history without schemas, causing them to fail or misbehave (leading to empty responses and 503 errors).
Extend flattenToolHistory to recognize and flatten tool_use and tool_result blocks in the content array into prose text, keeping panel expert execution robust and independent of the client API format.

Panel models in the fusion strategy must answer in prose. When the request
carried tools or prior tool_calls/tool messages, agentic panel models kept
emitting tool_calls instead of prose, so extractPanelText() returned empty
and the engine fell into the 503 "All fusion panel models failed" branch.
Panel fan-out now strips tools/tool_choice and flattens tool turns into
assistant prose (instead of dropping them), so panels keep the context but
cannot loop on tools. The judge still receives the unmodified history.

Adds Fusion as a third combo strategy alongside fallback/round-robin. A
fusion combo fans the prompt out to all member models in parallel, then a
configurable judge model synthesizes one final answer from the panel.
- handleFusionChat in open-sse/services/combo.js: quorum-grace collection
caps the straggler penalty, anonymized sources prevent judge brand-bias,
degrades to a direct answer on single survivor and 503 on total failure.
- chat.js dispatches strategy==="fusion" at both combo entry points.
- Combos dashboard: per-combo strategy Select replaces the round-robin
toggle, fusion reveals a judge picker, plus a strategy/capacity explainer.
- tests/unit/combo-fusion.test.js covers fan-out, judge routing/default,
quorum-grace straggler drop, single-survivor and total-failure degradation.
