Sora-bluesky d61411d131 fix(agent): narrow #69078 image-corrupt recovery to the classifier route
Review (Sol xhigh) on the prior commit found a P1: the generic strip-
and-retry fallback ("any non-retryable 400 with image parts present
strips and retries") was too blunt. It couldn't tell an actual
image-corruption 400 apart from an unrelated one — bad tool schema,
unsupported parameter, billing, content policy — that merely happened
to carry image parts in the request. Any of those would silently erase
vision history and retry the still-invalid request, degrading sessions
that were never bricked in the first place. That's worse than the bug
it was meant to fix.

Revert the generic fallback (agent/conversation_loop.py). Keep only
the classifier-routed path: FailoverReason.image_corrupt +
_IMAGE_CORRUPT_PATTERNS, checked before _IMAGE_TOO_LARGE_PATTERNS
because shrinking corrupt bytes can't repair them. Corrupt-image
wordings still route to strip-and-retry; everything else falls through
to normal (non-retryable) handling as before. Add xAI's second wire
wording for the same corruption class ("base64 string of provided
image cannot be decoded", returned on unaligned truncation vs "Invalid
PNG image." on aligned truncation) and a compound-message test pinning
that image_corrupt wins when a body matches both pattern lists.

Drop TurnRetryState.stripped_images_this_turn. It's unnecessary now
that only one branch is left: the branch already only retries when
_strip_images_from_messages reports it removed something, and that
helper strips every image part from the request in one pass — so a
second corrupt-image hit on the retried (now text-only) request has
nothing left to strip and falls through on its own. No separate
one-shot flag needed.

Add a run_conversation integration test at the sequenced-provider
layer: corrupt 400 on attempt 1, strip, retry succeeds on attempt 2,
with explicit before/after assertions on the outgoing image_url part.
