ApprovabilityVerdict: Not approved Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — This PR introduces a substantial attachment workflow across web, mobile, provider responses, and projection cleanup, with the capability enabled by default for new server environments. It also adds a static-analysis suppression in a new test file, so the default behavior and diagnostic override warrant human review. You can add or adjust custom eligibility rules. Learn more. |

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThis change adds question-answer attachments across contracts, web, mobile, orchestration, provider handling, history rendering, and attachment cleanup. It adds scoped drafts, upload validation, attachment-only answers, provider file paths, and retained history metadata. ChangesQuestion answer attachments
Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to If submitting an answer with attachments fails, the mobile client can leave that question request stuck as submitting and prevent the user from retrying until state is reset. This should be fixed before merge. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

Question answers now accept pasted images and uploaded files. Each question keeps a separate draft, and submitted attachments remain available in history. The server passes saved file paths through the existing provider answer strings.
Rebased onto current main and fixed five issues found during review: reloads could delete drafts before questions finished synchronizing, mobile could hide attachment-only answer history, failed file cleanup could advance its retry cursor, web/mobile history could omit questions whose answers contained only attachments, and mobile Submit could become enabled while question attachments were still uploading.
Validation
361 focused tests passed before the final mobile readiness fix. After that fix, 118 focused mobile tests pass, including five new readiness regression cases. Server, web, mobile, and contracts typechecks pass. Targeted lint and formatting checks pass.
Live Chromium and Codex testing verified attachment-only answers across two questions, pasted images, duplicate filenames with different contents, quotes and Unicode in filenames, the eight-file limit, empty-file rejection, upload failure/retry, removal, and draft persistence after reload. Codex read all four submitted files correctly. After reloading, history downloads returned the exact original text for all three documents. A separate history fixture with no text-answer entries also retained both questions, the image, and all document links after reload.
Verified the preparation-state review finding in Chromium: selecting the final single-choice answer while an earlier question is preparing leaves the question open and Submit disabled. Finishing preparation re-enables Submit. Final submission uses the complete answer set, so a preparation in any question already blocks it; blocking all threads globally would be incorrect.
Physical Android testing reproduced Submit becoming enabled during an unfinished upload and showing "Attachments are not ready." With the fix, Submit stays disabled during pending uploads and upload failures, then enables after completion or a successful retry. Both questions were exercised against an isolated server with controlled upload responses. This device pass tested readiness and uploads; the earlier Chromium pass covered live provider submission.
Desktop uses the tested web components. Native Electron and iOS were not launched. Other providers and relay/tunnel connections were not exercised live.
Verified CodeRabbit's rejected-response cleanup finding against the actual command wrapper.

Note
Medium Risk
Touches orchestration command handling, attachment lifecycle on revert/bootstrap, and multi-client draft/submit paths; mistakes could drop files, block submits, or mis-route provider paths, though coverage is broad in tests.
Overview
Question answers can now include files and pasted images when custom answers are allowed, reusing the normal composer upload pipeline behind a new
questionAttachmentsserver capability.On web and mobile, each pending question gets its own attachment draft (scoped by environment, thread, request, and question), with an 8-file cap shared across questions in one response. Submit waits for uploads; attachment-only answers are valid. The work log / timeline shows submitted answers with links or thumbnails via
QuestionAnswerHistory.On the server,
thread.user-input.respondaccepts optionalattachmentsByQuestionId: the normalizer claims uploads like turn attachments, the decider validates question IDs and emitsuser-input.answer-submittedhistory plus provider events, andappendUserInputAttachmentPathsadds on-disk file paths into provider answer strings without changing the wire protocol. Projection bootstrap/revert now counts answer-activity attachments when pruning files and defers projector cursor updates until all projectors finish replaying reverts.Contracts add
UserInputAttachments,UserInputAttachmentAnswerPayload, and related optional fields on respond commands and events.Reviewed by Cursor Bugbot for commit 6360cf2. Bugbot is set up for automated code reviews on this repo. Configure here.
