What is the issue?

Claude Code + Ollama /v1/messages?beta=true fails when Read tool reads PNG.

Direct top-level image content request to /v1/messages?beta=true works. Plain text Read works. PNG Read from Claude Code VS Code fails with: API Error: 400 Input should be a valid string

Ollama log: POST "/v1/messages?beta=true" 400

This looks like nested image content inside tool_result is not handled the same way as top-level user image content.
