fix: extend JSON repair to browser tool and CLI (#862)

- repair malformed browser command envelopes before treating stdout as non-JSON
- repair eval/image payloads in browser_tool.py
- repair CLI parsing for vision and /cron tool responses
- add focused regression tests for browser and CLI repair paths
