fix: preserve image context across follow-up requests

Image requests previously sent only the current prompt and attachments, so follow-up edits could lose the previous image and conversation requirements. Reuse the latest successful image from the existing artifact store together with text history, including after reopening the app. Explicit attachments take priority, and configured model IDs remain unchanged. When image editing is explicitly unsupported, continue with text-based image generation and retain a quiet message footer explaining the missing image context. Keep genuine provider errors and cancellation visible. Add focused regressions, persisted footer metadata, and aligned feature documentation. Validated with four real sub-gpt-image-2 image requests and a simulated unsupported-edit response. Image regressions, typecheck and lint passed; the full working-tree run had two unrelated concurrent Runtime-menu failures. Release note: 连续改图会自动带上上一张图片和文字上下文，重开对话后仍可继续修改。上游明确不支持编辑时仍可按文字生图，仅在回复底部轻提示未使用参考图片。

+不增加独立模型、工具审批或服务端会话管理。

+  同时发送此前的文字要求；本轮修改要求优先。
+- 本轮显式附图优先，不自动混入上一轮生成图。要独立生成不相关图片，使用新对话。
+- 已保存会话重新打开后仍可继续改图，引用已有成果，不依赖 Runtime 内存缓存。
+- 上游明确不支持编辑时，继续按文字生成，并在该回复底部说明未使用参考图片。
+  缺失历史成果时使用剩余可用上下文并提示，不禁用发送。
+- 网络、鉴权、限流、参数错误和真正的生成失败仍正常报错，不伪装成能力缺失。
+- 模型 ID、地址和质量服从用户的模型连接配置，不对特定服务商或模型别名做硬编码。
+  验证以用户指定的 `sub-gpt-image-2` 实际服务能力为准，不由其他模型的失败推断其能力。

+# 图片上下文技术设计

+## 请求与存储
+
+Renderer 从当前完整会话快照选择最近一条 `complete` 助手消息的 `artifactIds`，通过
+`AgentRequest.imageContextArtifactIds` 传递最多 8 个成果 ID。图片消息可以没有正文，
+因此引用选择不使用过滤后的文字历史。队列在实际发送时使用当时的会话快照。
+普通文本历史契约保持 `role/content`；图片字节不进入历史 IPC，也不新增图片副本。
+
+Main 仅在 `capability === 'image-generation'` 时调用 `withImageConversationContext`。
+当前 `ContextManager` 已解析的显式附图优先；否则通过现有 `getArtifact` 加载引用的
+内联 PNG/JPEG，WebP 使用 Electron 解码为 PNG。缺失或不可用引用形成上下文提示，
+数据库等基础设施错误仍向上传递。读取不依赖会话的异步保存进度，因为成果已在发送
+`artifact` 事件前由 Main 保存。
+
+生成图片继续由 `createImageArtifact` 保存。可选 `imageContextNotice` 随生成事件、
+公开成果事件和消息 metadata 保存，不新增表、迁移、服务端 ID 或 Runtime 会话缓存。
+它是该回复的展示事实，不进入下一轮提示词。
+
+## 上游请求
+
+`ModelAgentRuntime` 将已有文字历史作为会话数据加入提示词，并把本轮要求放在末尾。
+不从头截断组合提示词而丢掉最后的修改要求；服务商自己的长度和资源限制仍然有效。
+有图片使用 `/images/edits`，单图字段为 `image`，多图为 `image[]`；无图使用
+`/images/generations`。质量、认证及自定义请求字段继续走原有配置合并。
+
+本路径不接入 Responses 图片工具、不依赖 `previous_response_id`，不额外调用文本模型。
+显式回传上下文不表示上游提供或保存了服务端会话；无法据此保证像素级不变。
+结果仅接受原有校验通过的内联图片，不下载 Provider 返回的图片 URL。
+
+## 能力缺失与错误
+
+编辑返回 HTTP 405/501，或 HTTP 400/404/422 的错误正文明确说明图片编辑不支持或未实现时，
+同一请求最多再调用一次无图生成。成功成果携带 `editing-unavailable`，继续以 `done`
+结束；再次失败正常报错，不循环回退。
+
+其他错误保留 HTTP 状态和 Provider 信息。尤其不把 401/403、429、模型不存在、
+无效图片、超时或服务暂不可用判作不支持编辑。取消发生后不启动后续生成。
+本次不持久化能力探测结果、不切换模型、不新增重试框架。
+
+## Remote 边界与验证
+
+Renderer 只为直连模型附带成果引用，Main 只在图片能力分支使用它。
+`managed-remote-acp-runtime.ts` 与远程项目 validator 均要求 OpenCode；
+本修改不改变 Agent gateway、ACP 或远程模型请求，不需要部署新 Agent。
+
+专项验证覆盖完整文字、纯图片消息引用、显式附图优先、成果恢复、会话隔离、
+能力缺失提示、取消、真实错误及 UI/SQLite metadata。真实验收必须从桌面发送按钮进入
+生产 IPC 和 Runtime，验证生成、连续修改及重新打开后的续接。
