1. The `edit_file` tool tended to use `create_or_overwrite` a bit too
often, leading to corruption of long files. This change replaces the
boolean flag with an `EditFileMode` enum, which helps Agent make a more
deliberate choice when overwriting files.
With this change, the pass rate of the new eval increased from 10% to
100%.
2. eval: Added ability to run eval on top of an existing thread. Threads
can now be loaded from JSON files in the `SerializedThread` format,
which makes it easy to use real threads as starting points for
tests/evals.
3. Don't try to restore tool cards when running in headless or eval mode
-- we don't have a window to properly do this.

This is very basic support for them. There are a number of other TODOs
before this is really a first-class supported feature, so not adding any
release notes for it; for now, this PR just makes it so that if
read_file tries to read a PNG (which has come up in practice), it at
least correctly sends it to Anthropic instead of messing up.
This also lays the groundwork for future PRs for more first-class
support for images in tool calls across more image file formats and LLM
providers.

This allows us to debug the raw edits that were generated when people
report feedback, when running evals and when opening the thread as
Markdown.
Release Notes:
- Improved debug output for agent threads.
Release Notes:
- Fixed a bug that would prevent the agent from working over SSH.

This improves the new eval scenario by ~80% (`0.29` vs `0.525`) without
decreasing performance in the other evals.
Release Notes:
- Improved the performance of the `edit_file` tool.
Release Notes:
- Fixed a bug that would cause rejecting a hunk from the agent to delete
the file if the agent had decided to rewrite that file from scratch.
Nathan here: I also tacked on a bunch of UI refinement.
Release Notes:
- Introduced the ability to follow the agent around as it reads and
edits files.

This pull request introduces a new field to the `StreamingEditFileTool`
that lets the model create or overwrite a file in a streaming way. When
one of the `assistant.stream_edits` setting / `agent-stream-edits`
feature flag is enabled, we are going to disable the `CreateFileTool` so
that the agent model can only use `StreamingEditFileTool` for file
creation.

This pull request introduces a new tool for streaming edits. The
short-term goal is for this tool to replace the existing `EditFileTool`,
but we want to get this out the door as soon as possible so that we can
start testing it.
`StreamingEditFileTool` is mutually exclusive with `EditFileTool`. It
will be enabled by default for anyone who has the `agent-stream-edits`
feature flag, as well as people that set `assistant.stream_edits` to
`true` in their settings.
### Implementation
Streaming is achieved by requesting a completion while the `edit_file`
tool gets called. We invoke the model by taking the existing
conversation with the agent and appending a prompt specifically tailored
for editing. In that prompt, we ask the model to produce a stream of
`<old_text>`/`<new_text>` tags. As the model streams text in, we
incrementally parse it and start editing as soon as we can.
### Evals
Note that, as part of this pull request, I also defined some new evals
that I used to drive the behavior of the recursive LLM call. To run
them, use this command:
```bash
cargo test --package=assistant_tools --features eval -- eval_extract_handle_command_output
```
Or comment out the `#[cfg_attr(not(feature = "eval"), ignore)]` macro.
I recommend running them one at a time, because right now we don't
really have a way of orchestrating of all these evals. I think we should
invest into that effort once the new agent panel goes live.
