Agent attachments

This document describes the v1 attachment path for Agent Teams.

Supported runtime paths

Claude lead/runtime: structured stream-json content blocks.
Codex native: optimized app-owned image files passed with repeatable --image <file>.
OpenCode: model-gated file parts sent through the OpenCode session API.

Do not append base64 to prompt text. Base64 is only valid inside provider-native structured payloads.

Current image model policy

Claude: image attachments are allowed through structured image blocks.
Codex native: image attachments are allowed through native image args.
OpenCode openai/gpt-5.4-mini: allowed.
OpenCode openrouter/moonshotai/kimi-k2.6: allowed.
OpenCode openrouter/z-ai/glm-4.5v: allowed.
OpenCode openrouter/z-ai/glm-5.1: blocked for images.
Unknown OpenCode models: blocked for images until verified.

Text-only messages continue to work for unsupported image models.

Size and optimization rules

The renderer optimizes images before send. The backend still validates and owns final delivery decisions.

Original attachments are immutable.
Optimized variants are derived artifacts.
If optimized images exceed the runtime budget, sending must fail before provider delivery.
Multiple images must be delivered together or blocked together. No partial image delivery.

Diagnostics rules

Diagnostics may include:

attachment count;
optimized bytes;
target runtime and model;
capability decision;
provider/runtime error text.

Diagnostics must not include:

base64 payloads;
data URLs;
API keys;
bearer tokens.

Smoke tests

The smoke harness generates a deterministic red PNG and checks real CLI transports.

List cases:

node scripts/smoke/agent-attachments-smoke.mjs --list

Run all cases and save a JSON report:

node scripts/smoke/agent-attachments-smoke.mjs --all --json /tmp/agent-attachments-smoke.json

Run Codex native:

node scripts/smoke/agent-attachments-smoke.mjs --case codex-native-gpt-5-4-mini

Run Claude subscription stream-json:

node scripts/smoke/agent-attachments-smoke.mjs --case claude-subscription-streaming

Run OpenCode OpenAI:

node scripts/smoke/agent-attachments-smoke.mjs --case opencode-openai-gpt-5-4-mini

Run OpenRouter cases:

OPENROUTER_API_KEY=... node scripts/smoke/agent-attachments-smoke.mjs --case opencode-openrouter-kimi-k2-6
OPENROUTER_API_KEY=... node scripts/smoke/agent-attachments-smoke.mjs --case opencode-openrouter-glm-4-5v
OPENROUTER_API_KEY=... node scripts/smoke/agent-attachments-smoke.mjs --case opencode-openrouter-glm-5-1-negative

The script redacts nothing from stdout/stderr tails except that it never prints generated image bytes or configured secrets.

Release checklist

Text-only messages still work for Claude, Codex, and OpenCode.
Oversized images fail before provider delivery.
Claude image send uses structured image blocks.
Codex image send uses --image, not prompt base64.
OpenCode image send is blocked for unknown/non-vision models.
Attachment retry reuses the same artifacts or fails loudly.
Copied diagnostics do not include base64 or data URLs.
