Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added image attachments to AI chat messages.
    • Users can select, preview, remove, and send PNG, JPEG, and WebP images.
    • Images can be sent without accompanying text and appear in conversation history.
    • Added image previews with full-size lightbox viewing.
    • Added validation for supported formats, file size, image dimensions, and attachment limits.
    • Conversation context estimates now account for attached images.

Add end-to-end image attachment support across the shared chat composer
used by Project, SQL, Notebooks, and Analytics agents.

Storage and persistence
- New chat_image_attachments SQLite table with staged/bound lifecycle
- ChatImageAttachmentService: native file picker, PNG/JPEG/WebP validation
  (signature, dimensions, size), atomic staging and cleanup
- Idempotent bind on message persistence; conversation-scoped access
- agent:images:select and agent:images:preview IPC channels

AI agent integration
- AgentRunRequest extended with imageAttachmentIds
- Main-process agent service hydrates image bytes into SDK ImagePart[]
  for all retained history messages, not just the newest turn
- ChatImageAttachment type shared between main and renderer

Composer UX
- + menu opens upward with compact IDE density; Upload image and Files items
- Staged images shown as 48×48 thumbnail chips with hover-reveal remove button
- Composer clears immediately on submit; restores draft on main-process rejection
- Image-only send enabled when at least one attachment is ready

Chat history
- Image attachments merged into the collapsible "N context items" ToggleSection
  alongside file context items, with 32×32 thumbnails and filename/dimensions
- Optimistic user message includes image descriptors so pills appear during streaming
- Click any thumbnail (composer or history) for fullscreen ImageLightbox
  (Escape or backdrop click to close, full-res loaded on demand)
- ImageLightbox component with spinner, dark backdrop, close button

481-487: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Every historical image is decoded and re-sent on each turn.

buildCoreMessages runs over the whole active history. For each past user message it calls ChatImageAttachmentService.readForModel, which base64-decodes the data URL and runs assertImageInfo. The decoded bytes are then attached as image parts for the new request.

Two costs grow with conversation length: repeated decoding and validation in the main process, and repeated image upload to the provider. Consider sending image parts only for the newest user message, or caching decoded bytes per attachment id.

Consider restoring the composer state when the send fails.

onStartStream now returns Promise<boolean>, but this call ignores the result. If the agent request fails, input and images are already cleared and the staged attachments stay staged. The new boolean contract has no consumer.

Either restore pendingImages on a false result, or drop the boolean return from the onStartStream type to keep the contract honest.

Reuse the shared ChatImageAttachment type.

src/types/chatAttachments.ts already defines this shape, including mediaType: ChatImageMediaType. This inline declaration widens mediaType to string and creates a second contract that can drift from the shared one.

Three components repeat the same previewChatImage load-with-cancel effect. The shared root cause is a missing reusable hook for attachment preview loading. Extract one hook, for example useChatImagePreview(id, conversationId, enabled), that returns { dataUrl, loading }.

  • src/renderer/components/chat/MessageRenderer.tsx#L61-L75: replace the MessageImageRow effect and dataUrl state with the new hook.
  • src/renderer/components/chat/ChatInputBox.tsx#L68-L82: replace the InputImageChip effect and dataUrl state with the new hook. This also fixes the missing image.conversationId dependency in the current effect.
  • src/renderer/components/chat/ImageLightbox.tsx#L26-L45: replace the effect with the hook, passing open as the enabled argument to keep the deferred load and the loading state.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Add lossless WebP (VP8L) detection.

The file dialog accepts .webp, but readImageInfo only matches the VP8X and VP8 chunks. A lossless WebP file uses the VP8L chunk, so it reaches the final throw and the user sees "Only PNG, JPEG, and WebP images are supported." for a file the dialog offered.

VP8L stores width-1 and height-1 in 14 bits each, starting after the 1-byte signature at offset 21.

Guard maxImages against non-numeric IPC input.

maxImages arrives from the renderer payload in agent:images:select. The default value applies only when the argument is undefined. For null or a string, Math.trunc returns NaN, Math.min and Math.max propagate NaN, and result.filePaths.length > NaN is false. The per-message cap is then skipped, and every selected file is staged.

🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Release every staged row when one file fails.

Promise.all rejects at the first failure, but the sibling stageSource calls keep running. An insert that completes after the rejection pushes its id into staged after the catch block already called releaseStagedChatImageAttachments. That row is never released and keeps its base64 payload in the database permanently.

Wait for all staging attempts before you clean up.

Update the staging flow around stageSource and Promise.all so cleanup waits for
every file-staging attempt to settle before releasing staged attachments.
Preserve successful results on the all-success path, but when any attempt fails,

failure.

The token estimator does not model the new multimodal message shape. buildCoreMessages now returns messages whose content is an array containing { type: 'image', image: Uint8Array }, but estimateMessagesTokens counts images only through the imageAttachments field and stringifies any non-string content. JSON.stringify on a Uint8Array expands each byte to about 6-8 characters, so one image inflates the estimate to millions of tokens and allocates a multi-megabyte string.

  • src/main/services/ai/tokenEstimator.ts#L227-L228: branch on Array.isArray(msg.content) and count text parts with estimateTokens and non-text parts with CHAT_IMAGE_TOKEN_ESTIMATE.
  • src/main/services/agent.service.ts#L1045-L1045: after the estimator handles array content, confirm that the post-compaction breakdown computed at Line 1135 reports plausible conversation and percentUsed values for a conversation that contains images.

Make staged-attachment transitions atomic.

Concurrent IPC calls can interleave after both reads. Two bind calls can both pass Line 1806, and the later update overwrites the first messageId. A release call can select a staged attachment, then delete it after another call binds it.

  • src/main/services/mainDatabase.service.ts#L1812-L1812: update only rows with the requested conversationId and messageId IS NULL, then require that the returned row count matches the requested IDs.
  • src/main/services/mainDatabase.service.ts#L1877-L1877: delete only rows with the requested conversationId and messageId IS NULL, or perform the select and delete in one transaction.

Reset and release staged images when sessionId changes.

ChatWindow keeps ChatInputBox mounted across session switches; only the sessionId prop changes (see setSelectedSessionId in src/renderer/components/chat/ChatWindow.tsx). The images state survives that change. A user can stage images in session A, switch to session B, and then send. handleSendAgentMessage then forwards attachment IDs that were staged under the previous conversationId, and the staged records for the abandoned session are never released.

Add an effect that clears images and releases the staged records when sessionId changes.

🛠️ Proposed fix
   const [images, setImages] = React.useState<ChatImageAttachment[]>([]);
   const [isSelectingImages, setIsSelectingImages] = React.useState(false);
+
+  // Staged images belong to a single conversation. Drop them when the
+  // session changes so they are never sent to a different conversation.
+  React.useEffect(() => {
+    setImages((existing) => {
+      existing.forEach((image) => {
+        releaseChatImages(image.conversationId, [image.id]).catch(() => {});
+      });
+      return [];
+    });
+  }, [sessionId]);

In `@src/renderer/components/chat/ChatInputBox.tsx` at line 201, Update
ChatInputBox to react to sessionId changes by releasing all currently staged
image records and clearing the images state. Add the cleanup effect alongside
the existing images state/effects, ensuring it runs when sessionId changes and
prevents attachments from the previous session being sent in the new
conversation.
