fast-agent's agent.send() returns only the final assistant text, so
ImageContent produced by downstream tools during the agentic loop
(playwright screenshots, rommie desktop captures) reached the agent's own
vision model but never crossed the MCP boundary — Daedalus and lead agents
saw text-only results.
A per-request after_tool_call hook (pallas.image_passthrough, same
composition pattern as assistant_stream / loop_guard) collects every
ImageContent block from the turn's tool results; send_message then returns
a FastMCP ToolResult of [final text, *images]. Turns with no images return
the plain string — wire shape unchanged (the str-only output schema is
dropped so the union return passes through cleanly; no consumer read
structuredContent). Images cascade hop-by-hop up delegation chains with no
extra wiring: verified live playwright → dolores → harper → MCP client,
image intact at each hop.
New per-agent agents.yaml knob max_result_images (default 8, keeps most
recent, 0 disables) and pallas_result_images_total counter. Version 0.7.0.
