Args: messages (`list[dict[str, Any]]`): Messages with `"role"`, `"content"` (or `"tool_calls"`). Content may be a raw string before transformation. List of messages with a `"role"` key (`"system"`, `"user"`, `"assistant"`, or `"tool"`) and a `"content"` key containing either a string or a list of structured blocks if already prepared. Optionally, the `"content"` might be `None` or not provided in favour of `"tool_calls"` in the `"assistant"` turns if applicable. images (`list`, *optional*): List of image objects to insert in the messages. Returns: `list[dict[str, Any]]`: A new list of messages where every `"content"` value is a list of structured content blocks, and all `"image"` placeholders are populated with the corresponding image objects. If the assistant turns contains `"tool_calls"`, then the `"content"` might be empty. Notes: - When the input `messages` isn't already in the structured format, (i.e., all `"content"` values are strings), the function transforms them into the structured format by wrapping text in `{"type": "text", "text": ...}` and inserting `{"type": "image"}` placeholders for the images *before* the first user message.
