+/**
+ * Resolve an `ImageChunk.url` into a renderable `<img src>` value.
+ *
+ * Persisted image chunks now carry a COMPACT HTTP path
+ * (`/images/<conversationId>/<uuid>.png`) served by the backend — NOT a base64
+ * data URL (images are stored on disk under tmp, not in the conversation store,
+ * to keep SQLite payloads small). The optimistic echo (what the FE just sent in
+ * `ChatRequest.images`) still carries a data URL, and a chunk could also carry
+ * an absolute `http(s)://` URL, so the resolution is format-aware:
+ *
+ * - `data:` URL  → returned as-is (the optimistic echo / a pasted data URL).
+ * - `http(s)://` → returned as-is (an absolute URL already).
+ * - anything else (a relative path like `/images/…`) → `apiBase` is prepended
+ *   (with no double slash). An empty `apiBase` leaves a root-relative path,
+ *   which a browser resolves against the document origin.
+ *
+ * Pure: input → output, zero DOM, zero Svelte.
+ *
+ * @param url      The chunk's `url` (data URL, absolute, or relative path).
+ * @param apiBase  The HTTP API base URL (e.g. `http://localhost:24203`).
