HIP-0300 tools serialize results to JSON text, which flattened images into useless base64-in-text. Add a ToolImage value type + one converter in BaseTool.register: any ToolImage anywhere in a result becomes a real mcp.types.ImageContent block; text-only results stay byte-for-byte JSON. Emitters wired: fs read of image files, browser screenshots (bidi+playwright). This gives hanzo-mcp vision parity with zai-mcp — an agent with native vision (Claude) sees pixels directly, no per-task vision tool needed. Also decomplect the core-package collision that caused this class of bug: hanzo-tools-core shipped a DUPLICATE hanzo_tools/core/ that nondeterministically shadowed canonical hanzo-tools (dropping ToolImage, the sophisticated register, etc. — same shadow class as the 0.3.0 error-reexport gap). Finish the 'merge core into hanzo-tools' refactor: move id_tool into hanzo-tools, make hanzo-tools-core a pure empty metapackage. Now ONE package owns hanzo_tools.core. Versions: hanzo-tools 0.3.2, -core 0.3.1 (shim), -browser 0.5.9, -fs 0.3.4, hanzo-mcp 0.15.12 (floors bumped). Verified: fs read PNG -> [text, image]; fs stat -> [text]; 29 tools intact; 9 tests pass.
