* feat(core): add image support in tool returns [LET-7140]
Enable tool_return to support both string and ImageContent content parts,
matching the pattern used for user message inputs. This allows tools
executed client-side to return images back to the agent.
Changes:
- Add LettaToolReturnContentUnion type for text/image content parts
- Update ToolReturn schema to accept Union[str, List[content parts]]
- Update converters for each provider:
- OpenAI Chat Completions: placeholder text for images
- OpenAI Responses API: full image support
- Anthropic: full image support with base64
- Google: placeholder text for images
- Add resolve_tool_return_images() for URL-to-base64 conversion
- Make create_approval_response_message_from_input() async

* fix(core): support images in Google tool returns as sibling parts
Following the gemini-cli pattern: images in tool returns are sent as
sibling inlineData parts alongside the functionResponse, rather than
inside it.

* test(core): add integration tests for multi-modal tool returns [LET-7140]
Tests verify that:
- Models with image support (Anthropic, OpenAI Responses API) can see
images in tool returns and identify the secret text
- Models without image support (Chat Completions) get placeholder text
and cannot see the actual image content
- Tool returns with images persist correctly in the database
Uses secret.png test image containing hidden text "FIREBRAWL" that
models must identify to pass the test.
Also fixes misleading comment about Anthropic only supporting base64
images - they support URLs too, we just pre-resolve for consistency.

* refactor: simplify tool return image support implementation
Reduce code verbosity while maintaining all functionality:
- Extract _resolve_url_to_base64() helper in message_helper.py (eliminates duplication)
- Add _get_text_from_part() helper for text extraction
- Add _get_base64_image_data() helper for image data extraction
- Add _tool_return_to_google_parts() to simplify Google implementation
- Add _image_dict_to_data_url() for OpenAI Responses format
- Use walrus operator and list comprehensions where appropriate
- Add integration_test_multi_modal_tool_returns.py to CI workflow
Net change: -120 lines while preserving all features and test coverage.

* fix(tests): improve prompt for multi-modal tool return tests
Make prompts more direct to reduce LLM flakiness:
- Simplify tool description: "Retrieves a secret image with hidden text. Call this function to get the image."
- Change user prompt from verbose request to direct command: "Call the get_secret_image function now."
- Apply to both test methods
This reduces ambiguity and makes tool calling more reliable across different LLM models.

* fix bugs
* test(core): add google_ai/gemini-2.0-flash-exp to multi-modal tests
Add Gemini model to test coverage for multi-modal tool returns. Google AI already supports images in tool returns via sibling inlineData parts.

* fix(ui): handle multi-modal tool_return type in frontend components
Convert Union<string, LettaToolReturnContentUnion[]> to string for display:
- ViewRunDetails: Convert array to '[Image here]' placeholder
- ToolCallMessageComponent: Convert array to '[Image here]' placeholder
Fixes TypeScript errors in web, desktop-ui, and docker-ui type-checks.
