Release v4.6.56

* fix(agents): resolve multi-agent streaming failure with sync OpenAI adapter

- Change MultiAgentOutputConfig.stream default from True to False
- Fixes #1882: multi-agent workflows now work with sync OpenAI adapter
- Aligns with safe defaults principle from AGENTS.md
- Single-agent retains fallback behavior, multi-agent now uses safe default
- Resolves benchmark regression where PraisonAI was only framework where multi-agent failed

Co-authored-by: praisonai-triage-agent[bot] <praisonai-triage-agent[bot]@users.noreply.github.com>

* fix(agents): complete multi-agent streaming fix - address remaining stream=True paths

- Fix agents.py fallback path that sets _stream=True on import error
- Fix presets.py verbose/minimal multi-agent presets that force stream=True
- Fix test_multiagent_fix.py hardcoded path and error handling issues
- Ensures sync OpenAI adapter compatibility across all code paths
