[Feature]: Support image/file attachments in Chat view for Remote Orca Server sessions #22320
Problem
In remote sessions, pasting or dropping images and files into the Chat view is blocked
("Local attachments are not available for remote sessions"). Sharing screenshots with the agent
is a core workflow (UI bugs, error dialogs, designs), so this is a major gap when the desktop
app is used as a thin client for a remote Orca server.
Setup
Server: orca serve on macOS (Mac mini), Orca 1.4.207
Client: Orca desktop on macOS (MacBook Air), Orca 1.4.207
Agent: Claude Code
Proposed solution
Proposal
When an attachment is added on the client, upload it over the existing client–server
connection into a temp/attachments directory in the workspace on the server
(e.g. .orca/attachments/) and pass the server-side path to the agent, as local sessions do.
Optionally enforce a size limit and clean up the files when the session ends.
Shipped in #25146: files you paste, drop or pick in Chat for a session on a paired server are now uploaded to that server instead of being blocked. If it still refuses attachments on a current build, please reopen and let us know.

Was this shipped with the 1.4.223 release?
Unfortunately not working on my end.
