feat(guardrails): scan tool results and enforce tool policy on passthrough streams

Browse source 
Guardrails could not see the untrusted half of an agent request. Anthropic
tool_result blocks carry their payload under `content`, never `text`, so the
input extractor walked straight past them and a prompt injection sitting in a
file the agent had just read reached the model unscanned. Tool results are now
extracted (string and block forms), scanned, and masked back in place.

Adds `scan_only_tool_results`, which narrows a guardrail to tool output. Agent
scaffolding trips PROMPT_ATTACK at every filter strength, so scoping the scan to
the data crossing the trust boundary is what makes a prompt-attack filter usable
in front of a coding agent. Narrowing drops coverage, so it takes an explicit
true; anything else leaves the whole request in scope.

The tool_permission guardrail also missed streamed /v1/messages traffic, where
the passthrough route hands the hook raw provider SSE frames rather than
ModelResponse chunks. Those frames are now reassembled before the rules run, so
a denied tool call is blocked on both API surfaces.
