P1 Badge Restore null schema for unannotated parameters

Parameters without type hints arrive as inspect._empty, but compile_annotation now falls through to TypeAdapter(annotation) which raises because _empty is not a valid type. Previously these were mapped to {"type": "null"}, so compiling an unannotated tool/workflow function succeeded; now the same call surfaces a ValueError and blocks schema generation for any function with untyped args.

P1 Badge Preserve support for unannotated parameters

Parameters without type hints now hit the TypeAdapter call and raise instead of defaulting to {"type": "null"} as before. Any call to compile_function_definition on a function whose parameters are unannotated (where param.annotation is inspect._empty) will now propagate a ValueError from TypeAdapter, whereas the previous type_map explicitly handled that case. This breaks existing usage of untyped functions.

P1 Badge Avoid clobbering $defs when class names collide

Nested $defs emitted by TypeAdapter are merged with a raw defs.update, so if two different dataclasses/Pydantic models share the same class name (e.g., two ChatMessage types from different modules), the second schema overwrites the first while both parameters still point to #/$defs/ChatMessage. That produces an incorrect schema for the first parameter; the prior implementation used fully qualified names to avoid this collision.
