Preserve content from non-dict mappings.
_format_messages accepts Mapping values, but this branch preserves only dict values. A non-dict mapping can therefore fall through to attribute lookup and lose its content. Convert every Mapping to a dictionary before calling message_content_text. Add a regression test with a non-dict mapping.
Proposed fix
- message
- if isinstance(message, dict)
+ dict(message)
+ if isinstance(message, Mapping)🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

crewAIInc#7670) In conversational Flows, passing multimodal user messages caused _coerce_user_message_text and ConversationalMixin._format_messages to invoke str(content) and f-string interpolation, leaking unparsed Python list/dict reprs into state.current_user_message, state.last_user_message, intent classification prompts, and formatted history. Per AGENTS.md's Message Content guidelines, collapse multimodal user messages to clean text using message_content_text while preserving plain string inputs.

Fixes #7670
Summary
In Conversational Flows (crewai.flow), supplying a user message containing multimodal content parts (e.g. {"role": "user", "content": [{"type": "text", "text": "..."}, {"type": "image_url", ...}]} or ConversationMessage) caused _coerce_user_message_text and _format_messages to invoke str(content) or direct f-string interpolation ( "{message.get('content', '')}").
This leaked unparsed Python representations ("[{'type': 'text', ...}]") into state.current_user_message, state.last_user_message, intent classification inputs ( low.classify_intent), and formatted conversation history prompts (_format_messages).
Per AGENTS.md ("Message Content"), message content must never be passed to str(), as that places a Python repr in front of the model and into state. This PR updates _coerce_user_message_text and ConversationalMixin._format_messages to use message_content_text to cleanly extract text parts and collapse multimodal content, while preserving plain string messages.
