fix(e2e): fix all hermetic CI failures

Four distinct root causes addressed:

1. Empty body mismatch (HuggingFace, all GET requests)
   The legacy format stored zero-length request bodies as
   { bodyEncoding: "utf8", body: "" }. The converter was producing
   { kind: "text", value: "" }, but seinfeld's encodeBody() returns
   { kind: "empty" } for incoming zero-length requests. deepEqual
   comparison failed kind !== kind.
   Fix: converter now returns { kind: "empty" } for empty text bodies;
   seinfeld's bodyEqual normalizes { kind: "text", value: "" } to
   { kind: "empty" } before comparison.

2. cassetteEngaged wrong file extension (OpenAI assertions)
   openai-instrumentation/assertions.ts:618 checked existsSync for
   ${snapshotName}.json but cassette files are *.cassette.json.
   cassetteEngaged was always false, causing the strict
   expect(span?.output).toBeUndefined() branch to run during cassette
   replay (which always has a defined output from buffered SSE).
   Fix: change extension to .cassette.json.

3. AI SDK v5/v6 Responses API body drift
   Cassettes were recorded with older AI SDK minor versions. Newer
   versions (5.0.82, 6.0.1) add Responses API default fields like
   store, background, truncation, reasoning, service_tier, metadata,
   etc. deepEqual on the full request body failed for 3 of 7 entries.
   Fix: add comprehensive ignoreBodyFields for known Responses API
   drift fields to the ai-sdk-instrumentation and ai-sdk-otel-export
   filter specs.

4. Cassette SSE chunking and prettier formatting
   All 23 cassettes re-converted from original git sources to pick up
   both the empty-body fix and the previously-fixed SSE chunk splitting.
   Prettier applied to all cassette JSON files.

Pre-existing failures NOT addressed (require re-recording with API keys):
- Mistral: no cassette directory
- Google ADK: stale snapshots
- Cohere 7.20.0+/8.0.0: no cassettes for newer versions
- js-provider-tests: Anthropic streaming LLM output flakiness
