The bash tool will now truncate its output to 8192 bytes (or the last
newline before that).
We also added a global limit for any tool that produces a clearly large
output that wouldn't fit the context window.

### Context
The Anthropic API fails if a request message contains a tool use and no
`Text` segments or it only contains empty `Text` segments. These are
cases that the model itself produces, but the API doesn't support
sending them back.
#27917 fixed this by appending "Using tool..." in the thread's message,
but this causes the actual conversation to include it, so it would
appear in the UI (we would actually display a gap because we never
rendered its markdown, but "Using tool..." would show up when the thread
was restored).
### Solution
We'll now only append this placeholder when we build the request, so the
API still sees it, but the UI/Thread doesn't.
Another issue we found is that the model starts mimicking these
placeholders in later tool uses which is undesirable. So unfortunately,
we had to add logic to filter them out.

- agent: Improved rendering of tool uses without text
