+# Attachment paths in model context
+
+[English](attachment-path-context.md) | [简体中文](attachment-path-context.zh-CN.md)
+
+## Problem and scope
+
+Uploaded files are stored on disk, but dispatch only supplies their contents and
+an `attachment:///` identifier (images only carry bytes and MIME type). A model
+that needs the original file for a script must discover its location, sometimes
+using memory. This fix supplies the location independently of memory. It does
+not add Excel parsing, change browser previews, or add a new tool.
+
+## Design
+
+The session attachment store adds a model-context string to the existing
+content block's `_meta[DAEMON_ATTACHMENT_CONTEXT_META_KEY]`. It contains the
+stored name, attachment URI, MIME type, and absolute path as JSON, plus a short
+instruction to use that path with tools running on the daemon host. Names and
+paths are JSON encoded; attachment contents remain user data. Images retain
+their inline bytes and text files retain their contents.
+
+`Session` adds this context to the model's reference parts, including the
+image-only path, without merging it into the user's text. There remains exactly
+one content block per attachment reference. User display text, title input, and
+mid-turn attachment-reference persistence keep their existing behavior.
+
+Vision Bridge derives its focus hint from the resolved text with attachment
+path metadata excluded. This keeps its 2,000-character hint budget available
+for the user's question, expanded commands, and audio transcription. The main
+model still receives the path context. Normal, custom-command, and mid-turn
+delivery use the same filtering.
+
+Obtain the path from the same successful read that supplies the bytes. Do not
+reconstruct the default directory: a configured root may fall back to legacy
+storage. Keep public attachment download responses unchanged. Generate metadata
+when a stored reference is dispatched, including references after a session
+restore, instead of persisting a separate path mapping.
+
+Normal prompt dispatch and mid-turn queue draining already share the resolver.
+Both retain the new metadata on surviving attachment blocks during degradation.
+Duplicate references share one read and encoding, and failed reads are still
+evicted from the dispatch memo.
+
+## Constraints
+
+Paths belong to the daemon/ACP execution filesystem, not the browser's machine.
+The daemon launches ACP children locally, but SSH or Managed sessions may
+delegate tools to another filesystem. Metadata explicitly identifies the daemon
+host and does not claim remote tools can access its files. ACP currently rejects
+the separate tool execution sandbox. This change does not add remote filesystem
+transport or sandbox mounts. Existing tool permissions still apply. A missing
+attachment keeps the existing failure/degradation behavior; never search another
+session for a replacement. Raw inline content without a stored attachment
+reference has no new path metadata.
+
+Absolute paths are sent to the configured model provider as prompt content.
+The default path can reveal the daemon user's home-directory name; a custom
+root can reveal its directory hierarchy. Paths are not anonymized. A private
+attachment alias resolved by tools would require a separate design.
+
+Providing a path does not add a parser for unsupported binary formats. A model
+can use an available parser through shell tools. File removal after dispatch can
+still invalidate a previously supplied path.
+
+## Validation and acceptance
+
+- In a fresh session with memory disabled, image, text, and binary attachments
+  include absolute paths in the final model request. Reading those paths returns
+  the original bytes; image content remains available to a vision model.
+- Configured roots, fallback roots, restored stores, duplicate filenames, and
+  names containing spaces or Unicode report the correct stored file.
+- Unavailable attachments report failure or degrade as before; surviving
+  attachments keep both metadata and content during mid-turn delivery.
+- Existing content, memoization, download, and session isolation tests pass.
+- Normal and image-only mid-turn messages retain their original display text
+  and attachment references; paths appear only in model context.
+- Long attachment metadata does not consume the Vision Bridge focus-hint
+  budget or displace the user's question; the main model retains the paths.
+- Build, typecheck, targeted unit tests, and an isolated Store → Session → OpenAI
+  request-conversion probe pass. The probe does not contact a model or load
+  personal memory; it verifies request construction and file access.

+# 模型上下文中的附件路径
+
+[English](attachment-path-context.md) | [简体中文](attachment-path-context.zh-CN.md)
+
+## 问题与范围
+
+上传文件已保存在磁盘上，但分发时只提供内容和 `attachment:///` 标识
+（图片仅携带字节和 MIME 类型）。模型需要通过脚本处理原文件时，必须自行
+寻找位置，有时依赖记忆。本修复直接提供位置，不依赖记忆；不增加 Excel
+解析、不修改浏览器预览，也不新增工具。
+
+## 设计
+
+会话附件存储在原内容块的 `_meta[DAEMON_ATTACHMENT_CONTEXT_META_KEY]` 中
+添加模型上下文字符串，包含以 JSON 编码的存储名称、附件 URI、MIME 类型和
+绝对路径，并说明使用该路径调用 daemon 主机上的工具。名称和路径使用 JSON
+编码；附件内容仍属于用户数据。图片保留内联字节，文本文件保留原有内容。
+
+`Session` 将该上下文加入模型的引用内容，包括仅有图片的消息，不合并到用户
+正文中。每个附件引用仍对应一个内容块，用户展示文本、标题输入以及回合中
+附件引用的持久化行为保持不变。
+
+Vision Bridge 从解析后的文本生成解读提示时，排除附件路径元数据，避免其
+占用 2,000 字符预算而挤掉用户问题、展开后的命令或语音转录。主模型仍然
+接收路径上下文。普通发送、自定义命令和回合中投递共用这一过滤逻辑。
+
+路径取自提供文件字节的同一次成功读取。不推算默认目录：自定义根目录可能
+回退到旧存储。对外附件下载响应保持不变。存储引用分发时生成元数据，包括
+恢复会话后分发的引用，不单独持久化一份路径映射。
+
+正常提示分发和回合中消息队列消费已经共用解析器，降级时两者都保留有效
+附件内容块中的元数据。重复引用继续共用一次读取和编码，读取失败后仍从
+分发缓存中移除。
+
+## 约束
+
+路径属于 daemon/ACP 执行文件系统，不属于浏览器所在机器。受支持的 daemon
+在本地启动 ACP 子进程，但 SSH 或 Managed 会话可能把工具委派到另一个文件
+系统。元数据明确标注 daemon 主机，不声称远程工具可以访问该文件。ACP 当前
+拒绝独立的工具执行沙箱。本修改不增加远程文件系统传输或沙箱挂载。现有
+工具权限继续生效。附件缺失时保留现有失败或降级行为，不能到其他会话寻找
+替代文件。没有存储附件引用的原始内联内容不
+添加路径元数据。
+
+绝对路径会作为提示内容发送给配置的模型服务商。默认路径可能暴露 daemon
+用户的主目录名称，自定义根目录可能暴露其目录层级；当前方案不做路径匿名化。
+若要使用由工具解析的私有附件别名，需要另行设计。
+
+提供路径不会增加对不支持的二进制格式的解析器。模型可以通过 shell 工具
+调用可用的解析器。分发后删除文件仍可能使此前提供的路径失效。
+
+## 验证与验收
+
+- 在禁用记忆的新会话中，图片、文本和二进制附件的绝对路径出现在最终模型
+  请求中；通过这些路径读取到的字节与原文件一致；视觉模型仍可接收图片内容。
+- 自定义根目录、备用根目录、恢复后的存储、重名文件以及包含空格或 Unicode
+  的名称都指向正确的存储文件。
+- 不可用附件继续按原有语义报错或降级；回合中投递时，有效附件同时保留
+  元数据和内容。
+- 现有内容、读取缓存、下载和会话隔离测试通过。
+- 正常消息和回合中仅含图片的消息保留原展示文本及附件引用；路径仅进入模型
+  上下文。
+- 较长的附件元数据不会占用 Vision Bridge 的解读提示预算或挤掉用户问题；
+  主模型仍然保留路径。
+- 构建、类型检查、定向单元测试以及隔离的 Store → Session → OpenAI 请求
+  转换探针通过。探针不调用模型、不加载个人记忆，验证请求构造和文件访问。
