Providers like Gemini emit usage metadata on every streaming chunk with cumulative token counts. The previous code ran telemetry.RecordTokenUsage (which uses +=) on every chunk, causing massively inflated telemetry token counts and cost. Move the session token updates and telemetry call out of the per-chunk loop into a recordUsage helper that runs exactly once, right before handleStream returns. The latest usage snapshot is still captured (last wins) so token counts remain accurate. Assisted-By: cagent

Review Summary
✅ Approved - This PR correctly fixes the token usage inflation issue by moving the telemetry recording out of the per-chunk loop.
The refactoring is well-structured with the recordUsage helper function that uses a guard flag to ensure telemetry is recorded exactly once per stream. The logic properly handles multiple exit paths (early return on FinishReason and fallback at end of loop), and the latest usage snapshot is correctly captured for providers like Gemini that emit cumulative token counts on every chunk.
No bugs found in the changed code.
