Fix: Prevent screenshot loop by removing auto-reason() call.
The primary cause of the reported screenshot loop (where screenshots were taken about once per second until app termination, flooding me) was identified in `PhotoReasoningViewModel.addScreenshotToConversation()`. This method would automatically call `reason()` with the just-captured screenshot and a generic prompt. If my response (even a default or error response when flooded) contained text parsable as another `TAKE_SCREENSHOT` command, the loop would perpetuate. This commit fixes the issue by commenting out the automatic call to `reason(prompt, listOf(bitmap))` within `PhotoReasoningViewModel.addScreenshotToConversation()`. With this change: - When a screenshot is taken (e.g., due to my command), it is processed by `addScreenshotToConversation`, added to the chat history, and the ViewModel's `currentSelectedImages` is updated. - However, the ViewModel no longer automatically sends this screenshot back to me for immediate analysis. - This breaks the loop, as I am not re-queried in a way that could lead to me issuing another screenshot command based on the same event. - I will now effectively pause after an AI-initiated screenshot is displayed. You must provide new textual input to prompt me to analyze or act upon that screenshot. This directly addresses the "self-reproducing screenshot command" and the AI flooding problem.
