Eric Hare c721fcafc8 fix: guard event serialization against unserializable component payloads (#12591) (#13651)
* fix: guard event serialization against unserializable component payloads (#12591)

Loop flows containing a vector store (e.g. Chroma) failed to build with:

    Error building Component Loop:
    [TypeError("'_thread.lock' object is not iterable"),
     TypeError('vars() argument must have __dict__ attribute')]

The Loop runs its body in an isolated subgraph and streams an on_end_vertex
event for every completed inner vertex. EventManager.send_event serialized
that payload with a raw fastapi.jsonable_encoder call. When a payload carries
an object jsonable_encoder cannot serialize -- most notably a threading.Lock
held by a vector-DB client -- its last-resort fallback raises
ValueError([TypeError, TypeError]), which propagated out of the subgraph and
aborted the whole flow build.

The earlier fix (#12877) only guarded ResultData.validate_model and
build_output_logs (both already routed through the fail-safe serialize()), so
this jsonable_encoder path was never covered and the issue persisted.

send_event now falls back to lfx's fail-safe serialize() when jsonable_encoder
raises, degrading unknown objects to a string representation instead of
crashing. The happy path is unchanged (the fallback only runs on failure).

Adds a focused EventManager unit test and an end-to-end Loop regression test
whose body emits a lock-bearing Data (both fail without the fix).

* [autofix.ci] apply automated fixes
