April 2026 focused on delivering a robust chat attachments workflow for deco-cx/chat, with end-to-end storage, secure URL handling, and editor UX improvements. Implemented organization-scoped storage for attachments, with stable mesh-storage URIs stored in the DB and per-turn resolution to fresh presigned URLs for retrieval by AI/vision tooling. Added a dedicated API endpoint to resolve mesh-storage keys on demand, ensuring UI src attributes stay stable while content remains securely fetchable. Enhanced chat input with a ProseMirror clipboard paste handler to enable image pasting, using the same file-pipeline as drag-and-drop. Implemented production-safe fallbacks and dev parity through DevObjectStorage and BoundObjectStorage patterns, so when object storage is unavailable, data: URLs are preserved or inline as needed. Refactored storage integration to inject DevObjectStorage via a context-factory, improving testability and dev experience. Commits included several key changes, notably the feature rework in 0c80136e51d651d61c6f62e2651d37328ca194df that materializes attachments to org storage and exposes stable URIs. Major fixes included knip and a production fallback path for no-object-storage scenarios to ensure a consistent user experience and AI SDK reliability.
