fix(vision-bridge): stop showing the image transcription twice

The vision bridge printed the full transcription in its notice AND fed it to
the primary model, which then re-stated it — so the user read the same image
description twice (once in the notice box, once in the answer).

- The notice now shows only the egress-disclosure header; the transcription is
  fed to the primary model and surfaced in its answer, so it is no longer
  duplicated. Removes the now-unused transcript truncation / control-char
  stripping helpers.
- The bridge model is instructed to transcribe/describe, not answer the user
  request (the user's intent is carried as a focus hint, not a question), so its
  output is context for the primary model rather than a second competing answer.
