useChat maxSteps is broken from [email protected] onwards

Description

Upgraded my dependencies this morning from [email protected] to latest and maxSteps did not re-call from the client side after a tool call anymore. Narrowed it down to breaking between 4.1.11 and 4.1.12.

With [email protected] and @ai-sdk/[email protected] I have reworked the resubmit mechanism. Please check if those new versions work for you (and also consider using message parts). Details can be found here: #4670

Thanks! Just tested it out and while it's not completely backwards compatible (assistant content and tool call visuals are showing up differently), I see what you're doing in parts and it makes perfect sense. I'll keep the old package for now and then migrate to parts when some bandwidth frees up.

I imagine the useChat documentation and all will be updated with parts too?
