What's Wrong?

Copying a JPEG or PNG image from Finder and pasting it into the Claude Code terminal pastes the Mac generic image icon, rather than the contents of the file itself:

<img width="712" height="869" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/05f8885f-ed20-4430-adcf-f46407476786" />

The JPEG file I'm copying + pasting:
<img width="4032" height="3024" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/6ccf02aa-3795-4ac4-8281-5822a30c1045" />

What Should Happen?

It should paste the image I copied in, instead of the generic mac image icon.
