diego-coder 8e4396bb32 fix(ollama): robustly parse single-quoted JSON in tool calls (#32109)
**Description:**
This PR makes argument parsing for Ollama tool calls more robust. Some
LLMs—including Ollama—may return arguments as Python-style dictionaries
with single quotes (e.g., `{'a': 1}`), which are not valid JSON and
previously caused parsing to fail.
The updated `_parse_json_string` method in
`langchain_ollama.chat_models` now attempts standard JSON parsing and,
if that fails, falls back to `ast.literal_eval` for safe evaluation of
Python-style dictionaries. This improves interoperability with LLMs and
fixes a common usability issue for tool-based agents.

**Issue:**
Closes #30910

**Dependencies:**
None

**Tests:**
- Added new unit tests for double-quoted JSON, single-quoted dicts,
mixed quoting, and malformed/failure cases.
- All tests pass locally, including new coverage for single-quoted
inputs.

**Notes:**
- No breaking changes.
- No new dependencies introduced.
- Code is formatted and linted (`ruff format`, `ruff check`).
- If maintainers have suggestions for further improvements, I’m happy to
revise!

Thank you for maintaining LangChain! Looking forward to your feedback.
