OPEN-760 Interview stage crashes when no features are given by LLM

The JSON schema states that it's valid if "Features" is `null`: ```json "features": { "anyOf": [ { "items": { "$ref": "#/$defs/AppFeatureUpdate" }, "type": "array" }, { "type": "null" } ], "default": null, "title": "Features" } ``` however if it is null, the code logs it as an error and app development completely fails. ```python if update.features is None: raise ValueError("No features found in the update") ```

PR Review

⏱️ Estimated effort to review [1-5]	3, because the changes involve modifying the logic for handling feature updates in interviews, which is a critical part of the system. Understanding the implications of these changes requires a good understanding of the existing system and the new requirements.
🧪 Relevant tests	No
🔍 Possible issues	Possible Bug: The code does not handle the case where `last_step.Features` might be None. If `last_step.Features` is None and `update.features` is also None or an empty list, the new logic will attempt to iterate over None, which will raise a TypeError.
🔒 Security concerns	No

Code feedback:

---

relevant file	codex/interview/agent.py
suggestion	Consider adding a check to ensure `last_step.Features` is not None before iterating over it. This will prevent potential TypeErrors if `last_step.Features` is None. [important]
relevant line	for f in last_step.Features

---

relevant file	codex/interview/agent.py
suggestion	It might be beneficial to add logging before returning the existing features when `update.features` is None or empty. This will help in debugging and understanding the flow of data. [medium]
relevant line	if not update.features:

---

relevant file	codex/interview/agent.py
suggestion	To ensure that the functionality remains consistent, consider adding a unit test that verifies the behavior when `update.features` is None or an empty list. This will help catch any unintended side effects early. [important]
