refactor(prompts): harmonized prompt templates and bolded keywords

- Standardized prompt structures, replacing custom XML-like tags with Markdown. - Implemented automatic bolding for RFC 2119 keywords (e.g., MUST, SHOULD) in prompt content. - Simplified environment information provided to agents, removing desktop environment details. - Updated image generation tool parameters for improved clarity and capacity.
