feat(eve): show provider-executed tool calls in the trace conversation view

[chadhietala]

Stacked on #1403 — base is trace-conversation, review that first.

Provider-executed tools were invisible in /traces. A gateway tool like web_search runs inside the model call — it never reaches eve's tool loop, so no onToolExecutionStart fires, no ai.toolCall span is recorded, and the viewer had nothing to render. A trace could show five searches' worth of results in the reply with no trace of the searches themselves (the real trace that surfaced this had 7 model calls carrying web_search in tool_calls but only 2 ai.toolCall spans — the local glob and bash).

What changed

Capture. A provider-executed tool's outcome exists only as tool-result/tool-error content parts on the model response. Those are now serialized to a new ai.response.tool_results attribute on the model span ({toolName, input, output} or {toolName, input, error} entries).

Truncation needed its own path: websearch outputs routinely blow past the 32 KiB attribute cap, and the generic text truncation appended … [truncated] mid-string — leaving invalid JSON that a consumer can only drop. toolResultsContentAttribute instead collapses each entry's input/output to capped text at shrinking budgets until the array fits, so the attribute always parses and always keeps toolName and the error flag.

Viewer. Each entry renders as a regular tool card right after its assistant card (same span start, stable sort keeps emission order): Input: from the call arguments, Output: from the result, red error surface for tool-error, no duration shown since there is no span timing for provider-side execution. The parser accepts both structured values and truncation-flattened strings. The new payload attributes (ai.response.tool_results, and ai.response.reasoning which the cards already show as Thought:) join the drawer's excluded content keys so the metadata drawer stays metadata.

One structural consequence: several cards can now share one span (a model span carries its provider tool cards), so selection re-mapping across live polls matches by occurrence rather than first spanId+kind hit — without that, a poll would snap selection from the second web_search card back to the first.

Verification

Unit tests at this layer: capture shape and error entries on the provider, truncation validity (single oversized entry, error-key preservation, budget split across 8 oversized entries), viewer card emission/ordering/error mapping (90 tests across the touched suites). Reproduced against the real websearch trace that surfaced the bug — cards render with truncated output. Sweep green; full suite at the stack top.
