feat(vision): consult_vision tool + vision settings API

Backend vision update (additive to [email protected] / [email protected],
no version bump).

Contracts mirrored (.dispatch/transport-contract.reference.md):
- VisionSettingsResponse + SetVisionSettingsRequest (GET/PUT /settings/vision).
- Delta note: read_image -> consult_vision; numbered placeholders; compaction.

Tool rendering (ChatView):
- read_image test -> consult_vision (rendering is generic by toolName).
- +2 tests: numbered-placeholder text chunk + [Compacted image] text chunk
  (both regular text chunks, render as-is — no special handling).

New vision feature library (src/features/vision/):
- logic/view-model.ts (32 tests): VisionSettings/VisionSettingsPatch types
  (consumer-defines-port), LoadVisionSettings/SaveVisionSettings ports +
  results, normalizeVisionSettings (network-seam coercion), parseImageLimit/
  imageLimitChanged, compactionModelOptions (vision-capable models via chat's
  public isVisionModel + Auto sentinel), round-trip helpers, imageLimitLabel.
- ui/VisionSettingsView.svelte (9 tests): imageLimit input + Save,
  compactionModel dropdown (Auto + vision-capable models), load-on-mount,
  save-on-change, error/saved feedback.
- index.ts.

Cross-unit seam: isVisionModel added to features/chat public index.ts
(additive); imported through the public surface, not internals.

Store wiring (src/app/store.svelte.ts):
- visionSettings state + refreshVisionSettings (GET /settings/vision,
  normalized at the seam) + setVisionSettings (PUT, partial, returns merged) +
  VisionSettingsResult; seeded on boot; exposed on AppStore. +4 store tests.

Mounted in App.svelte: new "Vision" sidebar view kind + VisionSettingsView
in viewContent (not conversation-scoped); load/save adapters; visionManifest.

Verification: svelte-check 0/0; vitest 948/948 (run twice, +47 since the
prior vision commit); biome clean; vite build OK. See backend-handoff.md §2j.

Not merged or pushed.

+/**
+ * Pure core for the vision settings feature — zero DOM, zero effects, zero Svelte.
+ *
+ * The global vision configuration (`GET`/`PUT /settings/vision`) controls image
+ * compaction: how many native images a vision model keeps per turn before the
+ * oldest are transcribed to text (`imageLimit`), and which vision model does the
+ * transcribing (`compactionModel`, null = auto). This module is the view-model
+ * seam: typed settings, parse/validate, dirty-check, network normalization, and
+ * the vision-capable model option list. The composition root adapts the store's
+ * HTTP calls to the injected ports.
