Process completed create_metric_alert events from ChatError.partial_result.

When send_message raises ChatError after a successful create_metric_alert event, this handler exits without processing exc.partial_result. The alert ID then never reaches alert_id_to_delete, so cleanup does not delete the created alert. Process the completed event and register its alert ID before setting exit_reason and breaking.

Do not convert arbitrary send_message failures into CHAT_ERROR.

The KDA handler catches Exception, so a non-ChatError RuntimeError from client.send_message is swallowed and returned as a failed run. Catch ChatError and the specific httpx transport errors that ChatClient.send_message may re-raise. Do not catch unrelated implementation exceptions.

Catching ChatError alone is not sufficient because the KDA tests require raw httpx transport failures to produce a failed run.
