Peter ChanthamynavongandGitHub f8e7e153d5 fix(cache): handle string content in is_cached_message (#17853)
Fixes #17821

The `is_cached_message` function crashed with TypeError when message
content was a string instead of a list of content blocks.

Changes:
- Add explicit `isinstance(content, list)` check before iteration
- Add `isinstance(content_item, dict)` check inside loop to skip non-dict items
- Use `.get()` for safer nested dict access
- Follow same pattern as `extract_ttl_from_cached_messages` (same module)

Tests:
- Add TestIsCachedMessage class with 9 test cases covering:
  - String content (the reported bug)
  - None content
  - Missing content key
  - Empty list content
  - List with/without cache_control
  - Mixed content types (strings + dicts)
  - Wrong cache_control type

Testing for litellm/

This directory 1:1 maps the the litellm/ directory, and can only contain mocked tests.

The point of this is to:

  1. Increase test coverage of litellm/
  2. Make it easy for contributors to add tests for the litellm/ package and easily run tests without needing LLM API keys.
