Review comments at @lib/assistant.js:
- Line 81: Update validateScenario to reject attachments.allowedTypes when it is
not an array, returning a configuration error before assistant capability setup
reaches the .map call; preserve valid array handling in the allowedTypes
normalization.
Review comments at @public/app.js:
- Line 4176: Update the send flow around chat.send so clearAssistantAttachments
runs only after the send succeeds, or restore the pending attachment items if
chat.send rejects. Keep attachments available in the composer for retry after a
failed send.
Review comments at @server.js:
- Line 461: Enforce the scenario’s attachments.allowedTypes allowlist
server-side in the /api/upload-urls and /api/assistant/trigger handlers:
validate requested uploads before issuing URLs and validate payload.input.FILES
before forwarding them, preventing disallowed file types from reaching either
path regardless of client-side checks.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Validate allowedTypes before calling .map.
If a scenario sets attachments.allowedTypes to a string, withScenarioDefaults preserves it and validateScenario reports no error. This line then throws a TypeError when the server builds assistant capability instructions. Reject a non-array value during scenario validation so the author gets a configuration error instead of a failed assistant session.

Summary
Learners can now attach documents to messages in the AI Assistant chat. Cosmo reads them, answers questions about them, and can use their contents to draft an email. Before this, Cosmo only saw the names of attached files and was told to refuse document analysis.
Changes
Most of the plumbing already existed. The
assistant-messagetrigger inprotocol.yamlalready declaredFILES: file[]and forwarded it to the model, and the Octavus chat client was already set up with/api/upload-urls. This PR adds the chat UI and passesFILESthroughchat.send.Points worth a close look:
assistant.attachmentsflag (defaulttrue) turns the feature on. Chat accepts only theattachments.allowedTypesthat the model can read: PDF, images,.txt,.md,.csv. Word files are rejected with "File type not allowed" so they don't upload and then fail silently.assistantAttachmentsEnabledinlib/assistant.jsis shared by the server and the browser./api/assistant/triggerdropsinput.FILES, so a client can't send files anyway.CAPABILITIESblock that the server builds at session creation. The static prompts no longer say Cosmo can't parse uploads. They still say outbound email attachments are name-only, so recipients and Cosmo behave as before for those.Before merging
The prompt edits need
npm run deploy:agent:dev(and prod when we ship). Without the deploy, it still works because the newCAPABILITIEStext comes from the server. But the deployed system prompt would still claim Cosmo can't read uploads, which contradicts it.Testing
npm testcovers type filtering, theFILESpayload, Send held during upload, and file chips on live and saved messages. It also checks the capability text with the flag on and off, plus scenario validation.npm run dev:.docx. It's rejected with "File type not allowed"."assistant": { "attachments": false }inscenario.json. The paperclip is hidden.Only PDF was verified end to end. Images and text files take the same path, but I haven't confirmed Octavus passes
.txt/.md/.csvthrough to the model.
