📄 Description

Summary

JSONField.process_result_value unconditionally calls json.loads() on column values, but PostgreSQL's psycopg2 driver with native JSON handling returns Python dicts/lists directly from JSONB columns
This causes TypeError: the JSON object must be str, bytes or bytearray, not dict on PostgreSQL deployments
Fix adds a type check to skip deserialization when the value is already a dict or list

Test plan

Verify on PostgreSQL deployment that JSONB columns load without TypeError
Verify on SQLite deployment that string-serialized JSON values still deserialize correctly
Confirm no regression in chat history, user settings, or other JSONField-backed models
