feat(vscode-lm): add image support for VS Code LM API provider

[roomote]

Summary

This PR adds image support for the VS Code Language Model API provider, enabling users to send images to vision-capable models when using VS Code's built-in LM API (e.g., GitHub Copilot).

Changes

VS Code Types Version Upgrade

• Upgraded @types/vscode from ^1.84.0 to ^1.106.0 to access the new LanguageModelDataPart.image() API introduced in VS Code 1.106+.

Image-to-DataPart Conversion

• Added convertImageToDataPart() function that converts Anthropic-format image blocks to VS Code LanguageModelDataPart objects.
• Base64 images are decoded and converted to Uint8Array for the VS Code API.
• URL-based images return a text placeholder with a warning (VS Code LM API requires base64 data).
• Unknown image source types return a fallback text placeholder.

Model Image Capability Detection

• Added IMAGE_CAPABLE_MODEL_PREFIXES constant listing model families that support images: gpt, claude, gemini, o1, o3.
• Added checkModelSupportsImages() function that checks if a model ID starts with any of these known image-capable prefixes (case-insensitive).
• The model info now dynamically sets supportsImages based on this check instead of always being false.

Removed Hardcoded Override

• Removed the hardcoded supportsImages: false override for VS Code LM models in useSelectedModel.ts, allowing models to use their actual image capability.

Extended Model Blacklist

• Added claude-opus-41 to the static blacklist (doesn't support native tool calling).

Test Coverage

• Added tests for checkModelSupportsImages() covering various model families, case insensitivity, and prefix matching.
• Updated tests for image conversion including base64 images, images in tool results, URL-based images (placeholder), and unknown source types.

Functional Impact

Users can now include screenshots, diagrams, and other images when interacting with vision-capable models (GPT-4o, Claude Sonnet 4, Gemini, etc.) through the VS Code Language Model API provider. Previously, all images were replaced with text placeholders indicating they weren't supported.

Testing

• All existing tests pass
• New unit tests added for image capability detection and image conversion

Closes #11064

@roomote Based on this pull request and the latest code from the master branch, open a new pull request.

Please refer to https://github.com/RooCodeInc/Roo-Code/actions/runs/21468233343/job/61834797233

"engines": {
"vscode": "^1.84.0",
"node": "20.19.2"
}

engine specifies vscode as ^1.84.0, which doesn't match the dependency ^1.106.0.

This causes a problem where everything works fine when running with F5, but an error occurs when running pnpm vsix.

A temporary workaround is to change ^1.106.0 back to ^1.84.0, but the new version added by package-lock doesn't need to be changed. Just like how @types/vscode@1.100.0 or @types/vscode@1.103.0 was already used in the previous project, this is simply changing 1.100.0 to 1.106.0.

Created new PR #11069 to re-apply the image support feature with the @types/vscode version fix. The fix keeps @types/vscode at ^1.84.0 in package.json (matching engines.vscode) while pnpm-lock.yaml resolves to 1.108.1 for the new API types. All tests and type checks pass.
