The response_audio field type has changed from Optional[List[dict]] to Optional[dict]. This brings consistency across Run, Team, and Workflow schemas and reduces edge cases in client code.

**Details**

- Breaking change: adjust deserializers and validators accordingly
- Simplifies downstream handling by removing list semantics
- Backward-incompatible for clients expecting a list type

**Who this is for:** Platform teams and integrators consuming audio outputs or enforcing strict schema validation.
