resolveAutoEntries only checked a hardcoded list of providers
(openai, anthropic, google, minimax) when looking for an image model.
agents.defaults.imageModel was never consulted by the media understanding
pipeline — it was only wired into the explicit `image` tool.
Add resolveImageModelFromAgentDefaults that reads the imageModel config
(primary + fallbacks) and inserts it into the auto-discovery chain before
the hardcoded provider list. runProviderEntry already falls back to
describeImageWithModel (via pi-ai) for providers not in the media
understanding registry, so no additional provider registration is needed.

When the primary model supports vision natively (e.g., Claude Opus 4.5),
skip the image understanding call entirely. The image will be injected
directly into the model context instead, saving an API call and avoiding
redundant descriptions.
