chore: add missing audio mimetype

* refactor: move audio encode over to TS

* refactor: audio encoding now functional in LC again

* refactor: move video encode over to TS

* refactor: move document encode over to TS

* refactor: video encoding now functional in LC again

* refactor: document encoding now functional in LC again

* fix: extend file type options in AttachFileMenu to include 'google_multimodal' and update dependency array to include agent?.provider

* feat: only accept pdfs if responses api is enabled for openai convos
