fix: update AI SDK message serialization to follow best practices

- Use ModelMessage type instead of any[] for type safety
- Format assistant messages with tool calls using ToolCallPart in content array
- Format tool messages with ToolResultPart using proper output structure
- Add ToolCallCard component for sexy debug display of tool calls in chat
- Remove debug console.log statements
