+ * `view_image` — let the agent LOOK at an image in the project.
+ *
+ * ## Why this is a built-in
+ *
+ * It was the one tool a consumer had to write from scratch (89 LOC), and its shape — a `handler`
+ * returning a structured result plus `toModelOutput` shaping it into an `ImageBlock` — is the
+ * canonical multimodal shape the SDK already defines (SE17). Every product that wants an agent to look at a
+ * screenshot rewrites the same base64 + media-type + confinement logic.
+ *
+ * The confinement is the part that is easy to get wrong, and the reason this belongs in a reviewed
+ * built-in rather than in each product: **an image reader that honours any path is a file
+ * exfiltration primitive with a friendly name.** `/etc/passwd` renamed to `.png` is not a
+ * hypothetical — it is one prompt away.
+ *
+ * ## The two channels
+ *
+ * This built-in uses the SE17 split. The handler returns the envelope as a JSON **string** — which
+ * is what `Tool.create` types it to return — and `toModelOutput` turns that string into an
+ * `ImageBlock` for the model, while `defineTool` routes the full value to `onToolEnd` through a
+ * resolver under `TOOL_SPLIT_RESOLVER`.
+ *
+ * So `tool.handler(...)` yields image blocks on success and the JSON string on failure: the factory
+ * has already applied the shaping. There is no `tool.toModelOutput` left to call, and returning the
+ * envelope unshaped would send the model a base64 blob as TEXT — something it cannot look at, which
+ * is the failure this tool exists to avoid.
+ *
+ * ## Result shape (the APP channel)
+ *
+ *   - `{ ok: true, path, media_type, bytes, data }`
+ *   - `{ ok: false, error: "path_traversal" | "not_found" | "unsupported_image_type" | "image_too_large", … }`
