<issue_title>[plan] Create reusable parseVersionValue helper function</issue_title>
<issue_description>## Objective

Create a reusable helper function for parsing version values to reduce code duplication and ensure consistent type handling across the codebase.

Context

The same type coercion logic (string/int/float → string) is duplicated across three locations. Creating a shared helper promotes DRY principles and makes future maintenance easier.

Proposed Implementation

Add to pkg/workflow/config_helpers.go:

// parseVersionValue converts version values of various types to strings.
// Supports string, int, int64, uint64, and float64 types.
// Returns empty string for unsupported types.
func parseVersionValue(version any) string {
    switch v := version.(type) {
    case string:
        return v
    case int, int64, uint64:
        return fmt.Sprintf("%d", v)
    case float64:
        return fmt.Sprintf("%g", v)
    default:
        return ""
    }
}

Refactor Usage Sites

Update the three fixed locations to use the helper:

1. engine.go:

if version, hasVersion := engineObj["version"]; hasVersion {
    config.Version = parseVersionValue(version)
}

2. mcp.go (GitHub MCP, line 372):

if version, exists := toolConfig["version"]; exists {
    if versionStr := parseVersionValue(version); versionStr != "" {
        dockerImage := "ghcr.io/github/github-mcp-server:" + versionStr
    }
}

3. mcp.go (Playwright, line 447):

if version, exists := toolConfig["version"]; exists {
    if versionStr := parseVersionValue(version); versionStr != "" {
        // Version handling logic
    }
}

Files to Modify

• Update: pkg/workflow/config_helpers.go (add helper function)
• Update: pkg/workflow/config_helpers_test.go (add tests)
• Update: pkg/workflow/engine.go (refactor to use helper)
• Update: pkg/parser/mcp.go (refactor two locations to use helper)

Acceptance Criteria

• Helper function is added to config_helpers.go
• Helper function has unit tests
• All three version field locations use the helper
• Existing tests continue to pass
• Code duplication is eliminated

Estimated Effort

~20 minutes implementation
