🤖 fix: de-flake integration tests

- resumeStream.test.ts: Remove brittle assertion checking for specific text
  content. Now validates the response has parts (text, reasoning, or tools)
  instead of requiring exact text output.

- runtimeFileEditing.test.ts: Eliminate redundant LLM calls by using bash
  for file setup. Tests now use writeFileViaBash() helper instead of asking
  the AI to create files. This reduces each test from 2-3 LLM calls to 1,
  cutting test time in half. Also validates tool results directly instead of
  reading file content.

- helpers.ts: Add writeFileViaBash() and readFileViaBash() utilities for
  fast file operations in tests (works for both local and SSH runtimes).
