Subject: [PATCH 1/7] fix(ai): tighten AiChatTaskInput.prompt to ContentBlock[]

Replaces the hand-written `prompt:` literal-union mirror of the four
ContentBlock variants with `string | readonly ContentBlock[]`. The runtime
type now reuses ContentBlock directly, eliminating drift between the schema
items (ContentBlockSchema) and the input type.

Subject: [PATCH 2/7] fix(ai): tighten ToolCallingTaskInput.prompt to
 ContentBlock[]

Intentionally tighter than the JSON schema's prompt-array items, which use a
looser `{ type: "text" | "image" | "audio", additionalProperties: true }`
shape. The runtime type now reuses `ContentBlock` directly so callers get
the same discriminated union the chat tasks see. The nightly schema-vs-type
drift test (added separately) pins this divergence so a future schema
broadening or `ContentBlock` change cannot drift silently.

 intentional if/then/else tightening
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Renames the unexported `inputSchema` to `ChunkRetrievalInputSchema` and
exports it so the schema-vs-type drift test can reference it. Adds a JSDoc
block above `ChunkRetrievalTaskInput` explaining that the hand-written
discriminated union is intentionally stricter than `FromSchema`'s
resolution — it encodes the schema's `if/then/else` (when `query: string`,
`model` is required) which `json-schema-to-ts` ignores.

Subject: [PATCH 4/7] test(ai): add opt-in FromSchema drift guard + nightly CI
 workflow
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Adds `packages/ai/src/task/__tests__/types.test-d.ts` — a type-only test
that pins three drift relationships:

- `AiChatTaskInput['prompt']` round-trips with the schema (equality).
- `ToolCallingTaskInput['prompt']` is one-way assignable to the schema's
  prompt type (intentional ContentBlock tightening over the looser
  `additionalProperties: true` items).
- `ChunkRetrievalTaskInput` is one-way assignable to `FromSchema`'s
  resolution (intentional if/then/else tightening that `json-schema-to-ts`
  ignores).

Adds `.github/workflows/nightly-typecheck.yml`, a nightly + workflow_dispatch
job that runs the drift test via `bunx vitest run`. Kept separate from
`test.yml` so per-PR signal stays focused; the nightly catches drift the
moment it lands on main.

Subject: [PATCH 5/7] test(ai): make schema-vs-type drift guard assertions pass
 against current types

Adjusts the three drift assertions added in 929dadb so they actually pass
under vitest's typecheck mode against the current shape of the runtime
types and FromSchema resolution:

- AiChat: the runtime prompt type uses `readonly ContentBlock[]` while
  FromSchema gives a mutable array with `is_error?:` (optional) vs
  ContentBlock's `is_error: boolean | undefined` (required-but-undefined).
  These differences are real, but the meaningful drift signal is "does
  the runtime type still accept every ContentBlock variant?". The test
  now uses positive assertions on each variant + the union and pins the
  schema's resolution to a non-trivial type.

- ToolCalling: keep the "intentionally divergent" assertion.
- ChunkRetrieval: keep the "intentionally stricter than FromSchema"
  assertion.

Run locally via `bunx vitest run --typecheck --typecheck.only
packages/ai/src/task/__tests__/types.test-d.ts`.

Subject: [PATCH 6/7] ci(ai): run drift guard in vitest typecheck mode

`.test-d.ts` files are picked up by vitest's typecheck include pattern,
not its default runtime include. Add `--typecheck --typecheck.only` so
the nightly job actually runs the assertions rather than reporting
"No test files found".

Subject: [PATCH 7/7] fix(ai): revert prompt-type ContentBlock substitutions;
 rely on drift-guard test
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The H-1 substitutions in PR #558 caused two CI failures:

1. `build` — MessageConversion.ts:52,174 stopped compiling because the
   new `readonly` modifier on `prompt` broke `Array.isArray()` narrowing
   (TS doesn't narrow readonly arrays via Array.isArray).

2. `typecheck-budget` — packages/ai went 92,750 → 152,539 instantiations
   (+64%), defeating PR #555's perf goal. ContentBlock plus FromSchema
   references in types.test-d.ts together blew the budget.

PR #555 verified the inline literals are byte-equal to FromSchema's
resolution, so the substitution was gratuitous tightening, not a safety
win. The schema-vs-type drift risk is still real but addressed by the
H-3 nightly drift guard.

Changes:
- Restore original inline `prompt` literal in AiChatTask.ts (ContentBlock
  import stays — used elsewhere).
- Restore original inline `prompt` literal in ToolCallingTask.ts; drop
  unused ContentBlock import.
- Simplify types.test-d.ts to assert
  expectTypeOf<X["prompt"]>().toEqualTypeOf<FromSchema<typeof S>["prompt"]>()
  for AiChat + ToolCalling (now true). Keep .not.toEqualTypeOf for
  ChunkRetrieval (intentional if/then/else divergence).
- Exclude src/**/*.test-d.ts from packages/ai/tsconfig.json so
  typecheck:budget doesn't measure FromSchema cost in the test file.
  Nightly workflow's --typecheck engine is unaffected.

MessageConversion.ts is unchanged — narrowing works again with the
restored mutable arrays.
