Issue:
[Bug] Google Models do not stream chunks using StreamListener
### What happened?

Streaming individual chunks doesn't work for several if not all Google models including Flash 2.0, 2.5, and Gemma 3. I also couldn't get Grok 3 mini to do it either, but that may be because it was a thinking model? Not sure.

I debugged the problem and the root cause is because of the way chunks are tokenized and transmitted.

Here's how they look like for Google models. Assume each line is a chunk:

```
[
[ ## sum
mary ## ]]\nOnce upon a
```

So you'll see that it doesn't cleanly start with `[[` nor does it end cleanly with `]]\n`.

I tried a variety of other models and most of them work with the current implementation: Mistral Small 3.1 24b, Llama 4 Scout, and Llama 3.3.

### Steps to reproduce

Use any Google model in openrouter

```python
dspy.LM(model="openrouter/google/gemma-3-12b-it", cache=False)
```

Set up streaming with a `StreamListener`.

```python
streaming_summary = streamify(
        Summary,
        stream_listeners=[StreamListener(signature_field_name="summary")]
    )
```

```python
stream = streaming_summary(article=article)
        async for chunk in stream:
            if isinstance(chunk, StreamResponse):
                output += chunk.chunk
                print(chunk.chunk, end="", flush=True)
```

#### Full Example

```python
import os
import dspy
from dotenv import load_dotenv
import asyncio
from dspy.streaming import streamify, StreamListener, StreamResponse

# Load environment variables from .env file
load_dotenv()

# Configure DSPy to use OpenRouter
openrouter_api_key = os.getenv("OPENROUTER_API_KEY")
if openrouter_api_key:
    # Use OpenRouter if API key is available
    lm = dspy.LM(model="openrouter/google/gemma-3-12b-it", cache=False) # doesnt work
else:
    # Fallback to local model
    print("OpenRouter API key not found. Using local model.")
    lm = dspy.LM('ollama_chat/gemma3:12b-it-qat', api_base='http://localhost:11434', api_key='')

# Set the language model
dspy.settings.configure(lm=lm, adapter=dspy.JSONAdapter())

        Jack Clark, cofounder of Anthropic, predicts the rise of “manager nerds” as AI agents increasingly take over tasks traditionally done by humans. Speaking on the “Conversations With Tyler” podcast, Clark explained that future managers will orchestrate fleets of AI agents rather than direct people, potentially making small teams extremely powerful. He noted startups are already operating effectively with fewer employees due to AI coding agents. Industry leaders, including Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Y Combinator CEO Garry Tan, echoed this sentiment, highlighting how AI enables lean, highly skilled teams to reach significant revenue milestones. Krieger, Instagram cofounder and Anthropic’s chief product officer, suggested developers will shift from writing code to managing and reviewing AI-generated content. However, experts caution that overreliance on AI carries risks, such as hallucinations from large language models and difficulties scaling or debugging AI-generated code. Anthropic positions itself as a testbed for adapting to AI-driven workplace changes, emphasizing AI’s role in collaboration rather than replacement.

### DSPy version

2.6.23

Hints from issue comments:
@lambda-science: Bedrock also doesn't stream response.@lambda-science: It might be a weird thread related thing if you use sync / FastAPI and stuff.
Sometime after reboot of my FastAPI, first request allow steaming with listener. But second one doesn't. heh

When I put the whole DSPY logic inside my sync fastAPI route (that run on a new thread each time) it's working "most" of the time hm with a stream listener@chenmoneygithub: @jorgecolonconsulting Thanks for reporting the issue! We will ship a fix within the next 2 business days.@chenmoneygithub: Meanwhile could you try if it works by running `dspy.configure(adapter=dspy.JSONAdapter())` before your code?@jorgecolonconsulting: > adapter=dspy.JSONAdapter()

Same issue but with JSON. Here's what the chunks look like:

````
```
json
\n
{ #
\n
  
"
sum
mary
":
````
The `start_indentifier` that StreamListener is exactly `{"summary":"` https://github.com/stanfordnlp/dspy/blob/82b3291d024d19c922505c305e504f2a250d5062/dspy/streaming/streaming_listener.py#L72 https://github.com/stanfordnlp/dspy/blob/82b3291d024d19c922505c305e504f2a250d5062/dspy/streaming/streaming_listener.py#L39@chenmoneygithub: @jorgecolonconsulting  the chunk doesn't look right, seems LM is returning an invalid json. Could you share your full code? @jorgecolonconsulting: > [@jorgecolonconsulting](https://github.com/jorgecolonconsulting) the chunk doesn't look right, seems LM is returning an invalid json. Could you share your full code?

I just updated the ticket with a full example that reproduces the problem consistently@chenmoneygithub: @jorgecolonconsulting Let me know if #8235 resolves the issue for you!

The problem results from gemini's stream chunk is huge. The original code can handle few tokens per chunk, but not 32/64 tokens per chunk.@jorgecolonconsulting: @chenmoneygithub I just tried it and this works very well. Could this be included in a tagged version? I'm not exactly sure what the process is for that.
