Open WebUI 0.9.0 made every model-class accessor (Users.get_user_by_id,
Chats.get_chat_by_id, Files.get_file_by_id, …) a coroutine. Both tools
were still calling them synchronously, so the calls returned coroutines
instead of model objects; the first downstream attribute access threw,
the bare `except Exception: return False` swallowed it, and uploads
silently fell through to the data-URI fallback. The data-URI markdown
rendered during streaming but didn't survive post-stream commit, which
looked like "image flashes in, then disappears."
Add await to the six call sites; promote `_read_file_dict` to async
since it now contains an await; restore `_push_image_to_chat` to the
canonical `files` event so the file-attachment chrome (thumbnail +
download) comes back.
This supersedes commit d034700, which mis-diagnosed the symptom as a
virtualization regression and switched to a `message`-event markdown
workaround. The workaround didn't help (same flash-and-vanish) because
the upload pre-check still failed for the same async-migration reason
and the data-URI fallback path still ran.

Open WebUI 0.9.0 introduced chat-history virtualization that
unmounts off-screen assistant messages and reconstructs them from
persisted shape; `files` attached mid-stream by a tool don't
survive the round-trip — the image flashes in during streaming
and disappears the moment the message commits.
Both image tools now upload via Open WebUI's file store as before
but surface the result as a markdown image injected into the
assistant message via a `message` event, which is part of the
persisted shape and renders reliably across remounts. Trade-off:
loses the file-attachment chrome (thumbnail + download button).
Each tool has a TODO marking the swap site with the original
`files` payload inlined for one-line revert once upstream fixes
the regression.

Registers as 'Image Studio (Pipe)' in Open WebUI's chat-model dropdown.
No LLM in the loop — the Pipe parses the user's message with regex,
finds attached images via the same multi-source extractor as the
Tool, routes deterministically to txt2img / img2img / inpaint, calls
ComfyUI, returns the image. Bypasses the abliterated Qwen 3.5 ×
Open WebUI tool-call format interop bug entirely.
Style resolution: explicit FORCE_STYLE valve > inherited from prior
assistant message ('style: X' marker) > keyword regex on user text >
default (furry-il).
Inpaint trigger: regex picks up phrasings like 'change the X',
'remove the Y', 'make the Z bigger/red/etc' and pulls the noun
phrase as mask_text. No match → full img2img.
Reuses the same per-style settings, prefix dialects, negatives,
GrowMask feathering, file extraction (with chat-DB fallback) and
files-event push as smart_image_gen.py — code is duplicated rather
than shared because Open WebUI loads each plugin file standalone.
