Subject: [PATCH] fix(process_response): use issubclass instead of isinstance
 for ParallelBase check

The response_model parameter is a class (type), not an instance. Using
isinstance() on a class checks if that class is an instance of a type,
which always returns False for user-defined classes.

Changed from:
  if isinstance(response_model, ParallelBase):

To:
  if inspect.isclass(response_model) and issubclass(response_model, ParallelBase):

This fixes the "'generator' object has no attribute '_raw_response'" error
when using ParallelTools with models like Qwen3-VL.

Fixes #2049
