Key points

  • The image admission preflight (attachment-error in dsh-host-apiproxy) is bypassed: no image block is ever sent, the model only sees text.
  • Nothing is typed into the composer while you add files — paths are appended on send, exactly like the image conversion.
  • Upload failure is never silent: a visible notice explains what happened before falling back to the native send path; messages are never swallowed.
  • Supports paste and drag-and-drop; images, files and mixed batches are uploaded in order and sent as one text block of paths.
  • Workspace resolution: reads $DSH_HOME/storages/workspace.json (the durable workspace registry) and picks the workspace with the newest updatedAt.

Pitfalls

Review the upstream repo before installing. This guide is auto-derived from indexed fields and may lag the latest release. If anything contradicts the official docs, treat the upstream source as authoritative.
