Problem Description

Current flow pushes extracted file content into a global system message, which increases, makes scope control hard, and confuses LLMs when comparing files.

Desired Solution you'd like

Per-message attachment: Files live on a specific message turn.

User routing control:

  • Attach to current message only.
  • Add to system instructions (keeps current option).

File management:

  • View attachments on each message.
  • Delete an attachment from a message.
  • Editing a message allows to replace / remove attachemen

Use Cases

  • Document analysis in one turn without polluting global instructions.
  • Comparing files across separate turns.
  • Temporary uploads for quick questions that can be deleted cleanly.
  • Tight control of which content the model can see at each step.

Alternatives Considered
