The Gemini SDK rejects upstream SSE heartbeat events that arrive as event: keepalive with data: {}. These frames are valid at the transport layer but cause the SDK to fail parsing when it encounters them unexpectedly.

The fix sits in the shared SSE transport layer: sseFilter now drops any event whose SSE event: field is exactly keepalive before the bytes reach the SDK. All other named and unnamed events pass through unchanged, so no existing behavior is affected beyond silencing those heartbeats.

New unit tests cover the filter directly (named keepalive events are dropped, anonymous data events are preserved), and new Gemini integration tests reproduce the original parse failure on both the direct and gateway paths, then confirm that content, usage metadata, and normal stream completion are correct after the fix.

Named 'keepalive' events (even with data) cause the Gemini SDK to error.
Strip them in sseFilterTransport and add regression tests.

  <summary>release notes</summary>
  <pre>This release removes the `session_plan` toolset, adds audio/video/image input and output capability handling, expands hook functionality with new builtins and sequential pipelines, and includes several bug fixes and safety improvements.

## Breaking Changes
- Removes the `session_plan` toolset, including its tool handlers, stream event, plans service, TUI `/plans` browser, and `--session`/`--scope` addressing on the `plans` command

## What's New
- Adds detection and filtering of audio/video input modalities per request model, stripping unsupported media parts and preserving provider-specific fallbacks
- Adds `output_capabilities.image` model override to resolve image output capability from models.dev metadata
- Adds guard for image-output requests across Google (gateway, direct Gemini API, and Vertex) surfaces, rejecting incompatible custom tools and structured output before dispatch
- Adds `add_context` builtin hook for dependency-free Go template-based context injection into the model's conversation
- Adds sequential pipeline execution for `pre_tool_use`, `before_llm_call`, and `tool_response_transform` hooks, replacing the previous concurrent first-rewrite-wins strategy
- Adds 56 new safe and 27 new destructive shell safety patterns, covering Git read operations, GitHub CLI queries, Go tooling, `rg`/`ripgrep`, and common inspection commands

## Bug Fixes
- Fixes Gemini keepalive SSE events (`event: keepalive` with `data: {}`) being passed to the SDK parser, causing parse failures; these frames are now dropped at the transport layer
- Fixes image-output-capable models being incorrectly excluded from session title generation
- Fixes shell metacharacter detection and corrects `gh`/`rg` pattern classifications
- Fixes SQLite stores not being closed deterministically on Windows, causing `TempDir` cleanup failures in tests
- Fixes `pkg/session` importing the SQLite driver, keeping the package free of that dependency

## Technical Changes
- Adds request-shape diagnostics for Gemini image requests (excluding prompt, schema, media-payload, and credential fields)
- Adds shared UTF-8-safe display-name sanitization helpers
- Classifies Gemini API 400 errors into bounded actionable categories
- Adds documentation tip for injecting session ID into model context using a `session_start` hook
