feat(api-server): inline image inputs on /v1/chat/completions and /v1/responses (#12969)
OpenAI-compatible clients (Open WebUI, LobeChat, etc.) can now send vision
requests to the API server. Both endpoints accept the canonical OpenAI
multimodal shape:

  Chat Completions: {type: text|image_url, image_url: {url, detail?}}
  Responses:        {type: input_text|input_image, image_url: <str>, detail?}

The server validates and converts both into a single internal shape that the
existing agent pipeline already handles (Anthropic adapter converts,
OpenAI-wire providers pass through). Remote http(s) URLs and data:image/*
URLs are supported.

Uploaded files (file, input_file, file_id) and non-image data: URLs are
rejected with 400 unsupported_content_type.

Changes:

- gateway/platforms/api_server.py
  - _normalize_multimodal_content(): validates + normalizes both Chat and
    Responses content shapes. Returns a plain string for text-only content
    (preserves prompt-cache behavior on existing callers) or a canonical
    [{type:text|image_url,...}] list when images are present.
  - _content_has_visible_payload(): replaces the bare truthy check so a
    user turn with only an image no longer rejects as 'No user message'.
  - _handle_chat_completions and _handle_responses both call the new helper
    for user/assistant content; system messages continue to flatten to text.
  - Codex conversation_history, input[], and inline history paths all share
    the same validator. No duplicated normalizers.

- run_agent.py
  - _summarize_user_message_for_log(): produces a short string summary
    ('[1 image] describe this') from list content for logging, spinner
    previews, and trajectory writes. Fixes AttributeError when list
    user_message hit user_message[:80] + '...' / .replace().
  - _chat_content_to_responses_parts(): module-level helper that converts
    chat-style multimodal content to Responses 'input_text'/'input_image'
    parts. Used in _chat_messages_to_responses_input for Codex routing.
  - _preflight_codex_input_items() now validates and passes through list
    content parts for user/assistant messages instead of stringifying.

- tests/gateway/test_api_server_multimodal.py (new, 38 tests)
  - Unit coverage for _normalize_multimodal_content, including both part
    formats, data URL gating, and all reject paths.
  - Real aiohttp HTTP integration on /v1/chat/completions and /v1/responses
    verifying multimodal payloads reach _run_agent intact.
  - 400 coverage for file / input_file / non-image data URL.

- tests/run_agent/test_run_agent_multimodal_prologue.py (new)
  - Regression coverage for the prologue no-crash contract.
  - _chat_content_to_responses_parts round-trip coverage.

- website/docs/user-guide/features/api-server.md
  - Inline image examples for both endpoints.
  - Updated Limitations: files still unsupported, images now supported.

Validated live against openrouter/anthropic/claude-opus-4.6:
  POST /v1/chat/completions  → 200, vision-accurate description
  POST /v1/responses         → 200, same image, clean output_text
  POST /v1/chat/completions [file] → 400 unsupported_content_type
  POST /v1/responses [input_file]  → 400 unsupported_content_type
  POST /v1/responses [non-image data URL] → 400 unsupported_content_type

Closes #5621, #8253, #4046, #6632.
