Artifact type tool output now shows whether the type file was actually read

What

When Claude Code displays the result of a tool call that reads an artifact's type, it now checks a new type_file field in the result. If present, it shows either "read <path> of artifact type" or "did not read <path> of artifact type", depending on whether the file was actually read.

Why

This gives a clearer, more honest account of whether the type information came from an actual file read or not.
