Scott Idem 96b3c796c5 feat: file attachment support in chat (images + text/code files) ...

Text files (.md, .py, .js, .json, etc.): read client-side and injected
into the message body as a fenced code block — works with all backends
with zero model capability requirements.

Images (PNG/JPG/WebP/GIF, max 5 MB): encoded as base64 data URL on the
client and sent as a separate attachment field. Backend formats them as
OpenAI multimodal content (text + image_url) for local_openai backends.
Claude CLI and Gemini CLI see the text message with a "📎 filename.png"
note; image data is never written to session history.

- index.html: 📎 button + hidden file input in mode-select row;
  attachment-row preview area with thumbnail (images) or filename chip
- app.js: _resolveAttachment(), file reader, clearAttachment();
  sendMessage/sendOrchestrate updated to allow no-text sends when a
  file is pending; attachment spread into chat payload for images
- chat.py: Attachment model; attachment field on ChatRequest;
  llm_attachment extracted in _stream_chat and passed to complete()
- llm_client.py: attachment param through complete()/_dispatch()/_local();
  _local() builds multimodal content array for vision calls
- style.css: #attach-btn, #attachment-row, #attachment-preview, thumb
