Summary

Channel model replies currently build a synthetic chat completion request from the channel thread. That request collected text and image attachments, but dropped non-image files such as PDFs and DOCX files.

This PR forwards non-image channel attachments as form_data["files"], matching the request shape already used by normal direct chat. That lets the existing chat completion file/RAG pipeline process uploaded channel documents for tagged model replies.

The existing image handling is preserved, and repeated file references are deduplicated before forwarding.

Root Cause

backend/open_webui/routers/channels.py iterated over thread_message.data.files inside model_response_handler, but only appended image attachments to the model request. Non-image documents were neither added to the image content nor passed through form_data["files"], so the downstream chat_completion_files_handler never received them.

Direct chat worked because it already passes uploaded files through form_data["files"] into request metadata.

Testing

  • Uploaded PDF/DOCX files to a channel, tagged a model, and confirmed the model could use the uploaded documents instead of asking for them again.
  • Ran python -m py_compile backend/open_webui/routers/channels.py.
  • Ran uvx ruff format --check backend/open_webui/routers/channels.py.
  • Ran git diff --check HEAD~1..HEAD.
  • Ran a focused mocked behavior check for model_response_handler confirming:
    • PDF and DOCX attachments are forwarded in form_data["files"].
    • Image attachments stay in the existing image path.
    • Duplicate non-image file references are deduplicated.
    • Channel routing still uses chat_id = "channel:<id>".
