feat(bots): let a bot make a file in its VM and attach it to the chat - #1552
milind-soni merged 10 commits into
Conversation
A bot in a Local VM could only link to /home/cua/workspace paths the server cannot open, and could only run commands by typing into a terminal window and reading screenshots. - attach_file: copy a file from the bot's VM workspace (or working folder) into the private attachment store and post it as the bot's message; served only through that message. Images stay image attachments, everything else is a file attachment. - vm_exec: run one shell command in the bot's own Local VM and return exit code, stdout and stderr as text, with the time limit enforced inside the container. - Inline audio (mp3, m4a, aac, wav, ogg, opus, flac), loaded on request like video. - The attachment store accepts mp4, webm and mov so a bot can attach a video. - Simpler attachment look: no bubble around attachment-only messages, no framed "Attachments N" box, images keep their own shape.

…nd symlink escapes - AttachmentGallery: when the browser cannot decode a loaded clip, drop the blob URL as well as showing the error, so the play button comes back. - index.test: attach_file refuses a ../ path and a symlink that lead outside the bot's roots, and neither adds a message to the thread.

…cord the audio retry check The escape case used a file symlink, which needs a privilege on Windows and was silently skipped there. It now uses a directory link (a junction on Windows, a symlink elsewhere) and first asserts the link really reaches the outside file, so a refusal cannot be a missing link. Adds the before/after screenshots of the audio retry fix to the verification write-up. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

The attachment feature is useful, but the new attach-file route needs lifecycle and concurrency fixes before merge. It checks the turn capability before awaiting saveBotAttachment, then appends without revalidating it: stopping/deleting/switching the turn during a slow copy can still publish a late attachment. Revalidate the capability and source conversation after the await, before appending, and clean up an uncommitted saved attachment on rejection. Also reserve the per-turn attachment slot before awaiting: simultaneous calls all pass the current counter check and can exceed MAX_ATTACHED_FILES_PER_TURN. Add isolated regressions for cancellation during copy and parallel calls at the cap. Please also reconcile with #1551 so image attachments created here work through the mobile message-file route, which currently authorizes only kind=file in this PR.
…a file is copied Review feedback on the attach-file route: - Reserve the per-turn slot before awaiting the copy, so parallel calls cannot all pass the same counter check and exceed MAX_ATTACHED_FILES_PER_TURN. A failed or refused call gives its slot back. - Revalidate the capability and the source conversation after the await, just before appending, and delete the stored copy when the turn ended, the conversation is gone, or appending fails. The route answers 409. - The message-file route now honours any attachment carried by the bot's own message, images as well as files, so the mobile clients can fetch an image attached here. Images still must be served as image/* content. The reserve / revalidate / clean-up logic is one function (attachForTurn) with isolated tests that finish the copy by hand: parallel calls at the cap, a turn that ends mid-copy, a failed copy, and a failed publish. index.test.ts adds 16 simultaneous calls against the real server and the image download.

Thanks for the careful review. All four points are addressed (6b4a2de, plus two follow-ups below).

Conflicts were all in code both this PR and main changed: - server/index.ts (message-file route): milind-soni#1551 landed its generated-image grant there. This PR's rule (any attachment on the bot's own message, image or file) is a superset, so its side is kept and milind-soni#1551's now-unused generatedImage constant is dropped. milind-soni#1551's tests pass unchanged. - server/drivers/agents-proxy.ts: vm_exec / attach_file and main's tool_result_read are separate tool branches; both kept. - src/state/store.tsx: main's digest / compaction fields plus this PR's wider attachments union.

Updated with current main in 31e8b59. Resolved the catalog/call extraction and voice-note conflicts without reverting either. Fixed group file rendering and made vm_exec/VM attachment reads honor the existing lazy Auto claim, person takeover, and expired-lease gates. Added isolated server regression coverage. Attachment/proxy/file tests (234), catalog/VM/prompt regressions (98, partly overlapping), new attachment HTTP cases (3), and full VM routing fixture (31) passed. Lint, locales, production build/typecheck, and packaged-server smoke passed. Container execution itself is mocked in the fresh VM routing checks; the original real-VM evidence remains dated September 19. Verification notes are in docs/verification/evidence/bot-attach-file/README.md. Not merged; fresh CI should pass before merging. |
…CA-155) (#2234) * fix(ios): show the files a bot sends — video, audio, documents (MOCA-155) Since #1552 a bot can send any file with attach_file. Documents, audio and video arrive as kind:"file" attachments with a name; the phone only read kind:"image" and kind:"audio", so a file-only reply drew as an empty speech bubble. MessageImageAttachment now decodes `name`, and Message.attachedFiles lists a bot's file attachments (deduplicated, names basenamed). Each renders as the existing file card, which opens the full-screen viewer through the message-scoped file route: QuickLook plays mp4/mov video and audio and shows PDFs and Office documents. The card says "Tap to play" with a play or waveform icon for video and audio. A file-only message previews in the roster and on the Updates line as its file name instead of nothing. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(android): show the files a bot sends — video, audio, documents (MOCA-155) Port of the iOS change. A bot's attach_file documents, audio and video arrive as kind:"file" attachments with a name; Android only read image and audio entries, so a file-only reply drew as an empty bubble. MessageImageAttachment decodes `name` (appended, so positional callers are unchanged) and Message.attachedFiles lists the bot's files. Each renders as the shared file card, now drawn in the bubble's own text colour (it was hard-coded white, unreadable on a light bot bubble) and labelled VIDEO or AUDIO with "Tap to play" where it plays. Tapping opens the existing file sheet through the message-scoped file route. A file-only message previews as its file name. New strings carry Simplified and Traditional Chinese.

Summary
A bot working in its own Local VM could not hand over its work, and could only run commands by typing into a terminal window and reading screenshots. Fixes #1548.
attach_file(agents MCP): the bot passes a path (a VM path like/home/cua/workspace/report.pdf, a path relative to its VM workspace, or a file in its working folder). The server opens it with the same hardened resolver the message-file route already uses, copies it into the private attachment store, and posts it as the bot's own message. Images becomeimageattachments; everything else is afileattachment that is served only through the message that carries it.vm_exec(agents MCP): run one shell command in the bot's own Local VM and get the exit code, stdout and stderr back as text. The time limit (default 60 s, max 300 s) is enforced inside the container withtimeout. Cua Driver exposes no shell tool, so before this a bot could only type into a terminal window and read screenshots.FILE_MIMES) so a bot can attach a video. Limits: 25 MB (images 10 MB), 10 attachments per turn, refusals that name the supported types. The VM prompt tells the bot to usevm_execandattach_file.Independent of #959: this is two commits on
main. Documents (pdf, xlsx, pptx) show as download chips here; #959's in-chat previews then apply to them with no further change. The only shared lines are the threeFILE_MIMESentries, which are identical to #959's, so they merge cleanly either way.Verified with a real bot
Real Claude Code CLI 2.1.251 on Z.ai
glm-5.3(every assistant message in the transcript recordsglm-5.3), a per-bot Podman Local VM desktop, and the production build of this branch served by the realserver/index.ts.Original request, word for word, no extra instructions: "架空のネコネコカンパニーの決算書を作成して、PDFで納品してください。" The bot finished in about 70 seconds with four tool calls and no approval card:
vm_exec(check for reportlab),vm_exec(pip install --user reportlab),vm_exec(write and run the script; a 5,844-byte PDF), thenattach_file. Fetching the attachment through the message-scoped route returns the complete file (%PDF-1.4…%%EOF,attachment; filename="nekoneko_kessan.pdf"). Nothing was staged.Eight file types. The files were staged in the VM workspace by the test (not made by the bot); the bot was told the names and attached each with
attach_file. All eight are stored with the right kind and MIME type and render; the audio played after a click (currentTimeadvanced) and the video loaded with controls.Full write-up and screenshots:
docs/verification/evidence/bot-attach-file/README.md.Found only by running it for real (no automated test could catch either): the agents capability carries no VM target, so
attach_filemust read the thread's claimed desktop; and a tool description that said "check the file exists first" sent the model to the host Bash with a VM path.Tests
