Bug Report

Description:
When a long text is pasted into the input, it gets automatically converted to a paste attachment. However, the attachment arrives with no content on the model side — the model cannot read it. Real file uploads work correctly.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Paste a large block of text into the Claude Code input
  2. Observe it gets auto-converted to a paste attachment
  3. The model receives the attachment but sees no content

Expected Behavior:
The pasted text should be accessible to the model, either as inline text or as a readable attachment.

Actual Behavior:
The attachment arrives empty/with no content on the model side.

Environment:

  • OS: macOS Tahoe 26.5
  • Claude Desktop App: 1.20186.1 (df1d8a)

Additional Context:

  • Real file uploads (dragged/attached files) work fine — content is accessible
  • Only paste-triggered auto-conversion is affected
