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.
