Support pasting images directly into the chat input (clipboard paste) #2489

Description

@kawaji

What

Allow images to be pasted directly into the chat input from the clipboard
(e.g. Cmd+V), the same way Quick Desktop and similar apps let you paste a
screenshot straight in. Today an image has to be saved to a file first and
then uploaded through the file picker.

Why

The current save-to-file → upload flow is a poor experience. When you take a
screenshot or copy an image from another app, you want to paste it into the
conversation immediately. Having to first save it to disk and then browse for
it adds friction and breaks the flow, especially for quick screenshots.

Additional Context

  • Requested from the KiroCrew dashboard chat UI.
  • Ideal behavior: paste (Cmd/Ctrl+V) an image from the clipboard directly into
    the chat composer, with the image attached inline — no intermediate file
    save or manual upload step.
  • Related to the existing file-upload / attachment mechanism in the dashboard
    chat input.
