refactor(util, executor): optimize payload handling and schema processing

- Replaced repetitive string operations with a centralized `escapeGJSONPathKey` function.
- Streamlined handling of JSON schema cleaning for Gemini and Antigravity requests.
- Improved payload management by transitioning from byte slices to strings for processing.
- Removed unnecessary cloning of byte slices in several places.
