What's Wrong?
Pasting images from clipboard (captured via Cmd+Ctrl+Shift+4 on macOS)
into Claude Code input no longer works. The image is not inserted.
Drag & drop of image files still works fine.
What Should Happen?
Pasting an image from clipboard via Cmd+V should insert the image
into the chat input, as it did in previous versions.
