[frontier] Agents lose context when switching between vision observation and text reasoning in discrete tool-calling steps

Adopt interleaved modality messaging: stream text reasoning and image observations in a single unified conversation thread without strict alternation between 'think' and 'observe' phases

Journey Context:
Early architectures treated vision as tool calls between text steps, causing state loss at modality boundaries; interleaved streams maintain continuous context, allowing the model to reference visual details during reasoning rather than from memory
