What's Wrong?

In a non-git Claude Code on the web session, files generated by Claude (e.g. an HTML deliverable, a tarball in /tmp) have no first-class download path. Options today are: /teleport (requires a clean git repo + pushed branch), gh gist (requires gh auth in the sandbox, often missing), or pasting file contents as a chat code block. There's no "download this file" / artifact panel for arbitrary sandbox files. Expected: a download/open-file UI affordance for files at known paths (e.g. /tmp/, /home/claude/repo/).

Sorry if this is not the best repo to report this but I couldn't easily find a better one.

What Should Happen?

I'd expect Claude Code to be able to give me a file to download same way as Claude Chat does.

Seems like a claude_artifact tool is missing.
